Re: Gem usage
Well, I didn't check but this is how I've always assessed gems: You can use one gem to boost your level. That spell will then have double fatigue because it still counts as being cast by a "lesser" mage that has one level less than needed. You can use additional gems to help combat fatigue, for each gem invested it is being halved, AFAIK, discounting gems that are needed to cast the spell in the first place. You'll still need to include those gems that are needed to cast the spell in the first place in the calculation how many gems a mage may spend.
Example: A S4 mage trying to cast a S5 spell which requires 5 or even only 4 gems (theoretically) won't be able to boost his paths to cast that spell.
