well, they still have to pay for the spells, 5 points each.  They cannot 
just "get them" this should be a limitation in and of itself.  If every 
spell costs 5, and they have alot of spells, then it will still take a long 
time, Bounty wise, even if they decide to buy nothing else.

Plus hucksters have that built in "Black Joker" issue.

I myself don't have the 1 hour minimum.  it never comes up, but I have a 
theoretical minute minimum.

There are 150 Hexes out there, more then anyone else gets.  how many can 
they have?
