[QUOTE="77IM, post: 4680335, member: 12377"] I do a similar thing. Mine works slightly differently, to make the special components more general: :1: Special components can be used for any sort of ritual (like residuum, and unlike alchemical reagents and healing salves and whatnot, which are tied to a particular skill). :2: Special components count double when used in a ritual related to their theme. For example, 100 gp worth of Elemental Fire would count as 200 gp when used in any fire-related ritual (such as enchanting a flaming weapon). This is broad and vague and up to the DM, but I would rather not restrict my players to specific rituals. :3: Special components count half when used in non-thematically-related-rituals. This way, there is still a market for residuum etc. So far it has worked reasonably well. When the group kills a dragon and wants to carve it up for parts, I can just tell them "you get 500 gp of Dragon Parts" and they can use that in dragon-related rituals. -- 77IM [/QUOTE]
