Well we had shadloads of earthgems until the last little while.
Spent some unsucessfully empowering a Capricorn on land. I know they lose some magic when they venture ashore but had forgotten that they go to
minus ONE in paths that they never possessed. So I spent 50 gems empowering a mage to earth mage level
ZERO. Yay ...
Then why don't you empower someone else ? you know someone who is a level zero mage to start with, then slap on some boosters and cast a rather expensive summoning spell (not for a unique unit mind you).
Well then nothing will turn up.
Its great to spend well north of 150 earth gems to yield nothing ... except three or four turns of lost mage time.
We knew we should have stayed underwater, neighbours kept telling us it would be for the best, but did we listen ... no, no,
NO.
Well water under the bridge and all that ... its not like 150 gems are useful for anything
