Frankly, I think there is almost no money to be made making fireworks or the
spyglass. In my travels, I have never seen anyone request the aid of a
caster who could use glimpse or whatever. Fireworks would be great from a
roleplaying perspective, but the market for it will be erratic at best, and
they may not be very cheap to make.

Anyway, this isn't to discourage anyone from pursuing tinkering in any way.
I would think it neat to show off fireworks sometime or use the spyglass for
my solo explorations. But I don't expect a profit from it. Obviously,
neither do these other people who seem to know the formula, because we have
no reports of large amounts of people owning either a spyglass or fireworks.
