The listed entry is often the most common or most desired form of component for the respective spell. If it isn't available, a caster can often make due with other materials on hand.If the available resources are particularly scarce, a caster may not be able to cast spells without a means to create or diffuse certain elements and essences (a good reason to always have Alchemist's Supplies on hand).  Depending on the level of scarcity, I might make it an automatic pass with the proper tools or set a DC for a tool proficiency check. Success indicates the caster can use any known spells with zero-cost material components. Failure would result in some (or all) spells with zero-cost material components being unavailable until more resources are acquired.</blockquote>
