Hm?  It's one die of damage per 5 ST.  Let's say a 
wiz has ST 12 and has two ST 10 apprentices to Aid 
him.  According to Jackson's errata this wiz could 
easily make two five-die explosive gems per day.  
So with a week's time, $100 for the apprentices, 
and $500 for the gems, he could have ten of these 
5d6 explosive gems ready to go.  It's not like 
they're free but IMO that's a bit much for a week's
work and $600.

True, but the gem spell, like the staff spell,
is typically cast when the wiz is in "enchantment
mode", not "adventure mode", so its difficult
to really compare it to a missile spell.

Respectfully,
         Stan, your Isigli pal
