I'm getting a bit turned around trying to calculate some prices. This is likely common knowledge, but I don't quite get it, and I don't own a DMG.

So, the table for magic weapon prices goes like this:
+1 bonus 2,000
+2 bonus 8,000
+3 bonus 18,000

Now, say a particular enchantment's price is a +1 bonus. I'll use Bane as an example.

A player wants a +2 sword of orc bane. Is that as simple as calling it a +3 bonus and making it cost 18,000 gold? Or, would the price be 8,000 for the +2, plus an additional 2,000, since Bane costs the price of a +1 bonus?
