Combination order
The target item goes on the left and the donor item or book goes on the right. Order affects the final cost.
Prior-work penalty
Every operation raises the item prior-work penalty, so books are often cheaper when combined in balanced pairs first.
Too Expensive
In Survival, an operation costing more than 39 levels is blocked.
