Unbearable. Get it? I am funny.

Sure, of course it's true that there's over 200 gods in Faerun.

But see, that becomes a problem. There's too many Gods.

Can't expect them all to be equally relevant, in a region such as Cormyr. Hence the favoritism towards certain Gods over others.

Plus some Gods will simply, by lore, be able to bestow greater blessings and miracles to their followers than others, simply due to being of a higher order and having more worshippers.

And I don't see why a Red Knight pendant should empower a Helmite equally.

TL;DR: Current system seems fine to me.

If Evard's DC calculation followed the logic of other spells it'd be horrendously overpowered.

Pretty sure the intention behind that alchemy process is to upgrade the CMW ones you find during quests into CSW.

In another note: I think the prices are fine.
