Yes, you could view this secondary requisite (that is stated in the spell description) as separate from the spell (and thus not using the creator's caster level), but that seems subject to interpretation.Special order scrolls are not that uncommon, and a DM could even rule that the gems are separate from the scroll based on this FAQ precedence:"In general, when you create a scroll with a spell that has anXP cost, you have to pay the XP cost for casting the spell alongwith the costs for creating the scroll (see Creating Scrolls inChapter 7 of the DUNGEON MASTER’s Guide). Since the creatorhas paid all the costs, the scroll user doesn’t have to pay them.In the case of the permanency spell, however, it’s best tomake the scroll user pay the cost of actually making a particularspell’s effect permanent. The scroll creator still pays the XPcost to make the scroll."This despite the fact that a permanency scroll from the DMG normally has 2,000 XP baked in. Did you have a more detailed official WotC statement on this spell (other than the one I gave earlier)?I have 4*7*25= 700 gp(4th level scroll cost) + 25*20(HD)= 500 gp onyx cost. How did you get 1700 gp?Excellent. Thank you for the stats! I hope to use this CR 8 beauty on my group someday.</blockquote>
