Create Vajra Question

How exactly does the PPE cost and casting times work? One spot says 6 hours & 50 PPE per pair of points, and another says a one-pointed vajra takes a full week and 280 PPE. I'm not following the math here...

I've always gone the the "6 hrs. & 50 PPE" per pair, listed in the stats.
I think because there is some missing text in the spell description, or the stat numbers got changes to make it "playable" w/o updating the spell text.
May you be blessed with the ability to change course when you are off the mark.
Each question should be give the canon answer 1st, then you can proclaim your house rules.

I've found it quite confusing as well, clearly some bad editing occurred. I'd go with the 6hrs/50PPE per pair of points myself, given the other method seems to make it impossible for a Wu Shih to ever manufacture even a 1 point Vajra let alone a multiple point one.
Fair warning: I consider being called a munchkin a highly offensive slur and do report people when they err in doing so.

It's 'canon', not 'cannon'. A cannon is a big gun like on pirate ships, canon is what you mean when referring to something as being contained within one of the books such as how many dice to roll for a stat.

That's what I was thinking of doing if I ever used it. I just didn't know if there was info somewhere else clarifying it.

Unless there's something in the FAQ section (and I don't remember seeing anything) to my knowledge there's never been anything posted to clarify/correct things in regards to that spell.
