Where will the sorcerer pick up the diamond dust? Components-R-us might have it available in the big city perhaps, but how much diamond dust does he want to stock up on? What happens in extended absence from likely sources of such material?In a worlds largest dungeon campaign that I'm in at the moment, there isn't exactly an easy way to pop out to the shops for some more, so the DM has allowed a rule that expensive material components can be replaced by an XP sacrifice (at 1xp per 5gp). 50xp turns out to be a very workable cost for it.</blockquote>
