I’m wondering if I misunderstood some of the downtime rules:
Until the next chapter starts, we got 7 days of downtime in Magnimar. I am able to craft some wondrous items and would like to do so, but only got 350gp. If I invest 300gp, and work for 3 days with craft alchemy or linguistics or spellcraft and using take 10 to get over 20 when making the check, I could generate 3*2 magic, right? After that I could use these 6 magic to buy the material for items/scrolls worth 600gp? So all in all by investing 300gp+5 days I get items worth 1200gp? On the other hand if I want to earn gp and get a 40 in the skill check, in 5 days you get 4*5=20gp. Did I miss something? Also: there seems to a spending limit for goods, influence and labor but not for magic?
I don't think you missed anything. Except I never noticed there wasn't a magic spending limit before. I assume this is an oversight, but it could also be the intention. It'd make some sense, if you consider how much easier it is to move/ready the gathered reagents of 1 magic compared to the building materials and manpower of the other types of Capital.

Seek out the great sage, Chemlak. He is the ultimate master of the capital downtime rules knowledge.
