D&D 4E 4E Eschew Material Components?

[King-Panda]

I'm making a 14th level ritual-heavy wizard, and I was wondering if there was an equivalent in 4E to 3.X's feat, "Eschew Materials". Market price isn't a big issue for me, but the cost of higher level rituals really starts to add up. IIRC, Eschew Materials only omitted components of 1 GP or less, but I thought I'd ask anyways.

Short answer: No, there isn't long.

Long answer: The only thing requiring components are rituals, and for these components are meant to be the limiting factor.

There are however to some means to lower the cost of rituals. For example the "Elf High Mage" epic destiny for half cost.

There are some feats that allow you to ignore component costs for specific types of rituals.... though none that will let you make items or expendables.

If you made a Bard vs. a Wizard, you get to cast a couple (Bard-only rituals) for free every day.

I've been thinking that a feat like that would be a good idea. Something like: you can cast level x 20gp in free non-creation rituals per day. The number should probably scale non-linearly, though -- maybe have specific amounts it allows at levels 1, 6, 11, etc.
