For that matter, who would invest in Bloodstones, or even in Clams, which I'd say are the cheapest of all gem producing items, if their purpose was for giving mages gems to use in battlefield magic?

I would

The gem-producing items can serve both puposes. I find it very useful to equip Astral mages who are out conquering with a Clam - it sure beats the micro-management of trying to get Pearls to them in any other way. And just about the only reason I ever build Bloodstones is to provide a steady supply of Earth gems for an Earth caster. After all, mages who can forge them are rather rare, unless you want to count special circumstances like Forge of the Ancients
