There's a lot here, but it has good explanations. I was going to post an explanation myself, but Gerontius did a fine job! He also posted this on the forum, so maybe you would want to check it out there. Thanks Gerontius! Also please note that you can check the Camelot Herald for spellcrafting information.
Dark Age Of Camelot
Spellcrafting Information
Here in one document I hope to be put the knowledge about Spellcrafting
in Dark Age Of Camelot hereafter refered to as DaoC that I need to chose
how many pluses of what ever the customer wants for the amout of points
the items have, what I need to purchase to make the jewels and how much
it costs to make each quality of jewel. Hopefully there will be several
charts or tables to help without taking up much paper.
First we need to find out from the customer what they want on the items
and until what season they plan to wear or use the item. Next we need
to find out how many points each item has for imbueing. After we have
that information we can figure out first what the maximum amount of what
they most want is for the maximum season they will using the item. We
do that using the following short table of caps for the different type
of things we can add to items. In the table we will use standard math
signs of operation MS will stand for maximum season they plan to use the
item.
Stats MS x 1.5 Skills (MS / 5) +1 Resists (MS / 2) +1 Hit pnts MS x 4 Power (MS /2) +1
The cap for focus is 50 no matter what season they will stop using the item.
Keeping the caps to the different things in mind we then try to give the customer the maximum of as many of his wants for the imbue as we can by the points available to us. We do this by knowing how many points each plus of each thing we add cost in points. The following table should help in figuring that part out.
Stats Points/Skills
Points/Hits Points/Power Points/Resists Points/Focus Points/Grade Cost

Key * means requires overcharging item possible destruction of item and spellcrafter. The number after the / in points is the cost if there is another with a higher number before the /. If the numbers are the same then one get charged the number before the / and the other the number after the /. __ means it is no longer possible to add to any item. It is above the ability to overcharge an item. In the points columns if there is no slash then there is no way that will not be the highest point cost item ie. No way not to spend the maximum point cost for that addition to the item. Cost is not exact but approximate with a little added for time.
Now we need to know what jewels add what to the
items.

On the second ingredient you will notice two columns
of numbers for any thing that uses ground draconic scales use the second
column of numbers for the amount of the ground draconic scales.
Dark age of Camelot Spell Crafting Advancement Information
Here is a list of the spell crafting jewels in the order of difficulty
to make. This allows you to know which jewel to make next. The order repeats
for every level of spell crafting. For example an Icy Essence Jewel has
a difficulty of 1, 101, 201, 301, 401, 501, 601, 701, 801, 901. Because
of this repetition I will only list the ones from 1 to 99.
