Hmm, it is a bit too easy, isn't it?

Even raising the spell level to just 1 might mean not every 1st-level Sorcerer has it. And low-level Wizards would not walk around with it prepared as a matter of course. Although the high level ones probably would, but I think that's OK.

This could probably use a sanity cap as well. Around 1000GP/CL transmutable?

As for 1-gem wallets, I think that might be just the thing that would happen in a setting high magic enough to support magic ATMs at every other corner.
