Well you are going to need hell lot of quills to for all your researchers to compensate for you scales since it is worst reseach items out of 3 avalaible (3 reseach for 5 gems). You are going to have bunch of vans commanders doing nothing but forging new quills every turn. Also if you are going to make quell for all your reseachers, you can pretty much forget about other uses of airgems, which are so good for both forging and summons (Air Queens, Staff of Storm, bows of war, flying bots/carpets, displacement armor, etc. , etc)
