I think that you have to divide the number of gems reported by about four. I had Astral Vortex active for a while in 'Live and Learn', and it was reporting about 400 gems per turn, but I was getting about a hundred.

What's awesome about this spell is that you can wish for gems, use the gems to forge items, and then astral vortex gathers pearls from both the wish and the construction materials... as well as from the dispell attempts :-)

But be careful. Astral Vortex is very much like a red flag to most competitive players. In the above mentioned Live and Learn, all remaining players united against me after I had AV and FoA up for about ten turns. :-(
