What I mean is there are reasons not all magic is the same, Haruspex isn't in the same school as Dark Knowledge, and it costs 1 less gem, but requries one higher path. The game isn't made to be "completely balanced."
In a high-magic fantasy world with intelligent smiths and spell-makers, there's a good chance people would find ways of creating things that generate quintessential magic items (gem-gen). While it's not certain, but it's likely.
Basically, to me, CBM seems to be a (Conceptual)
Balance Mod, while the original game's focus is more toward flavor (while of course trying to keep it from being overly unbalanced).
