The details page of a powder auction does not state the number of charges. For example, it just says "Auction for one Extremely Hallowed Shrine Powder".
Also, on the "confirm purchase" page, it only says "Really purchase 1 Extremely Hallowed Shrine Powder for ???? currants?" Once again, the number of charges is not stated.
Needless to say, I believe both these pages (especially the "confirm purchase" page) should state the number of charges.
Now, I do understand that programming powders to act more like tools in the auction arena may require extensive programming, so I propose this measure as a stopgap. Including the charges detail to two pages, most especially the "confirm purchase" page, shouldn't require a lot of programming.
