Limited Wish Components

[Dark Sorcerer]

Is the expensive material component of a spell duplicated by limited wish a material component of the limited wish spell.

from limited wish:
When a limited wish spell duplicates a spell with a material component that costs more than 1,000 gp, you must provide that component (in addition to the 1,500 gp diamond component for this spell).

[Ravingdork]

If it is less than 1,000gp value, then you don't need the material component at all. If it is more than that, then you need to provide it.

Regardless, you must pay the 1,500gp material component for limited wish itself.

[Dark Sorcerer]

I understand that, my question is: Is the provided material component for the duplicated spell a material component of limited wish?

[Ravingdork]

I'm not certain I understand the question. Why would that distinction matter?

He wants to find out if he can cast limited wish to duplicate an expensive spell after casting Blood Money, I suspect. The question is whether it's one material component or two. I'd say it's two.

[dragonhunterq]

Yes it is a material component of the limited wish. 2 reasons:
1) "in addition to"
2) You are using limited wish to duplicate spell X, not using it to enable you to cast spell X. one spell, one set of material components.

[Dark Sorcerer]

Ipslore, yes that is true. I agree its is 2 material components but the bloodmoney spell only replaces one material component of the spell. If the provided component is not a component of the limited wish then blood money cannot be used to replace the component of the duplicated spell.

Specifically:
Using Blood money then casting limited wish (with a 1500gp diamond) to duplicate fabricate to create mithril full plate.

@dragonhunterq: I disagree. The quote above quite clearly indicates it's TWO components, the component (if over 1000gp) of the duplicated spell, and the diamond component (1500gp) of the limited wish. Two separate components.
