Re: What to do with astral gems?
It depends on when and where you cast your AR. On turn 17, on a reasonable size map, in a swamp or wasteland province, AR is always a good bet. Swamps and wastelands have lots of sites, and since you cast it on turn 17 you will likely have many turns of gem income from the newly found sites.
On turn 50, in a plain or farm land province, when you already have good gem income, then AR is probably a waste of gems.
Some nice items for astral gems include Ethereal cloak,
Crown of command (great for letting your warriors command magical beings), Pendant of Luck (every mage should have one), and some of the others you mentioned.
