Sorcery Question - Expend POW

[hasevir]

Normal mostali are about as exciting as a industrial robot. Standing motionless in a corner until there is a task, then they do the task and nothing but it. Im sure they share their matrixes and magic point stores. So the great machine would have millions and millions of magic points to cast those 100+ point spells to stabilize each and every wall, door, beaker and tool for 20 years times every 10 points for another multiplier of 1024. 20 million years considered long enough to be worth it? 20 billion years? 1 pow? what a laughably low cost!

Orthodox Mostali are encouraged, nay, required to develop a personal hobby project for part of their downtime. That extravaganza may define them as much as their job function.

Not quite - you need the INT capacity to manage that much manipulation, or a lot of POW sunk into Engravings of that spell.

Elder races, dysfunctionality even complete inaction outside a predetermined job task.

The little adventure description, find a new cavehome, find dwarffood (no eat foreign stuff!) and so on.
