Effect of modifiers on GP use

This test aims to show if the cost to imprint is dependant on the cost to bestow (factoring in modifiers)

Test 1: Demoralise, with good modifiers

Bestow the ritual at my high altar, after recently praying.

Hp: 2104 (2104) Gp: 168 (414) Xp: 880752
It seems almost simple to bestow demoralise because you have chosen a receptacle which has good affinity with the ritual, you feel more comfortable praying indoors, you are in an area considered holy and you have been actively worshipping Sandelfon.  However, this is somewhat negated by the fact that bestowing a ritual takes extra concentration.
You chant a psalm of acquirement into the serrated baton.
Hp: 2104 (2104) Gp: 163 (414) Xp: 881025

Neutral tactics, with 4gp regen, so that's (168 - (163 - 4)) = 9gp to bestow

Meditation after bestowing, and before prayer: "spent 133, would have added 673"

Meditation after imprinting: "added 236, would have added 1139"

That results in 835DP contributed.

Imprinting took 16 * 421gp prayers, which is 6736gp spent.

Prayer contributes 12.5% to the deity pool, so the numbers add up correctly there.

Imprinting this baton took anything from (15*421)gp to (16*421)gp, or from 6315gp and 6736gp

Test 2: Demoralise, with bad modifiers

Bestow the ritual at another god's altar.

Hp: 2104 (2104) Gp: 414 (414) Xp: 915281
You find it decidedly more difficult to bestow demoralise because bestowing a ritual takes extra concentration and you are in an area consecrated to another God.  However, this is partially mitigated by the fact that you have chosen a receptacle which has good affinity with the ritual, you feel more comfortable praying indoors and you are near a holy corridor.
You chant a psalm of acquirement into the serrated baton.
Hp: 2104 (2104) Gp: 407 (414) Xp: 915614

Neutral tactics, with 4gp regen, so that's (414 - (407 - 4)) = 11gp to bestow

Meditation after bestowing, and before prayer: "added 228, would have added 1139"

Meditation after imprinting: "added 336, would have added 1660"

That results in 108 + 521 = 629DP contributed

Imprinting took 15 * 421gp prayers, which is 6315gp spent.

Prayer contributes 12.5% to the deity pool, so ...?

Imprinting this baton took anything from (14*421)gp to (15*421)gp, or from 5894gp to 6315gp

Conclusion

There was accuracy of only 1 prayer, so they could have cost the same amount (assuming a percentage of variation)

Seriously though - it was faster to imprint the baton that wasw bestowed at higher cost?

More data required.
