Wild Arcana is a (SU) ability that allows you to cast any spell on your list without expending a spell slot at the cost of 1 mythic point.
Supernatural abilities generally do not use any Material Components.
Does this mean with Wild Arcana a 17th level wizard could cast material component free wishes? Why pay for books when you can just Wish your stats up?

Unlike, say, Wish, which only allows you to EMULATE a lower level spell, Wild Arcana specifies that you spend a mythic point to CAST the spell. Which presumably requires you to do all of the normal parts of casting the spell, including spending the material components.
The best way to think about it is probably that there are two steps to using it: step one, you activate Wild Arcana, step two, you cast the spell. Both steps happen in the same action.
