I think instead set an high price to the high level spells reagents, i
think it's better to set those reagents not buyable. This is, those
reagent can only be found onto a dungeon, killing a hard monster, or
they are "hidding" in a chest of this dungeon.
This is because when i am level 80, i will have enough money to buy
this "ultimate" reagents.

Yes, i refer a reagent, something like an herb, a black pearl,
etc...all those light

Yes, one reagent must be of one-use. It consumes (like arrows) once
the player cast a spell requiring the reagents

This is also a good idea, but i refer to reagent like requisite, not complement.

And i have found another good thing. Using reagents, will not allow
players to cast spells massively. I think this yesterday, playing CF.
I start to cast "Burning Hands" massively, to try to kill dozens of
hill giants. With reagents, I must be carefull with spellcasting. Or
maybe, i must go to kill hill giants with other mages, or maybe need
to go with a team.
