This spell provides other spells with the energy and guidance normally supplied by material components. This spell gives the power to leave out the material components of other spells - unless it is to be an item to be enchanted: you cannot enchant an item without the item you wish to enchant. The caster gains one spell level per 2 caster levels, with which he may substitute material components for as many spells in spell levels. These spell levels are used up by the spells the caster chooses not to have a need for material components: the 3rd-level fireball's material components of a ball of bat guano and phosphorous can be substituted for three spell levels from this spell. Supply material component lasts until the last spell level of this spell is used up. They are cumulative with each other up to a maximum stack of 3 times the caster's level in spell levels. This spell may be used to supply the components for the future casting of this spell. Note: this spell does not actually create the material components but only supplies the energy and guidance usually supplied by material components.
The material component for this spell is difficult to provide: for the first casting of this spell, the caster has to locate the very first spell book he owned which still exists somewhere, rip out the first spell located in the book, burn the pages, dissolve the ashes of the pages in acid, neutralise the ashes with chalk dust until a paste is produced. This paste has to be applied to a sapphire of no less than 5000 gp until the sapphire is completely covered. This is coated in clay. It then has to be burned in a kiln to rock hardness. In the casting, this "rock" has to crushed. For further castings, you need the second and further spells from the first spell book. If that spell book is used up, go to the next one, and so on... Yes, this spell rather quickly uses up those "unnecessary" spell books.
