Two radical suggestions....

I'm a leetle manic today, excuse me.

1.Astral pearls can be reverse alchemized for 25 gp.

2. A forgable item that increases available resources.

The problems are obvious, the question is are the potential gains in gameplay worth it?

Resource bonus item could be easily too overpowered, it should be quite expensive and not to bring too many resources. Not bad idea though.

Astral pearls can be changed to money now changing them first to some other gem, don't know ratio though.

My point was to make cap only troops (or any other,really) theoretically limited only by dominion strength/gold, for people playing psycho bless effect or strangely specialized games.

No no no. You misunderstand. Radical Suggestion.

(i.e. You get to BUY potentially infinite astral pearls for cash, not the normal gems---> cash way.)

Lets people choose to get into the summoning/global casting game much sooner and more seriously,... with higher variability on strength.

I think more strategic options are always good, and these are the two best ones I came up with....

What's the resource improving item?

Gold=>Gems shouldn't be possible! Really, money is so much more common than gems... Besides, 25 gp would be too little and by a big amount! It would be more economical to change fire gems to gold and from gold to astral pearl than to change them straight to the pearls... Even without any alchemy bonus! And even with a bigger number, it would be possible to get infinite number of gems... Even with a 50 gp per pearl, Wish would only cost you 5 000!

It doesn't exist. Rabelais suggests that one could be made.

I don't know how Rabelais imagined it when he mentioned the idea, but I quess it could be some kind of a miscellanous item (pocket smith), or a magical hammer of some kind. I think it should be unique, and it would need high Earth magic.
