Material Spell Components Even without a laboratory or a consecrated altar, priests and wizards often find themselves in need of unusual or hard-to-find items for material components in their spells. While many DMs do not require players to keep track of their characters’ stocks of spell components, this can be a great test of a PC’s resourcefulness and the source of many adventures. After all, merely finding a diamond worth 1,000 gp is quite an event for a low-level character, but then the player has to decide whether to grind it into worthless powder for use in a critical spell!
