Chromatic Orb Components:
To cast Chromatic Orb with the greatest flexibility you can use a diamond worth at least 50 CP. If you have this gem, you choose acid, cold, fire, lightning, poison, or thunder for the type of orb you create. You can cast this spell with lesser specific gems, but it limits the damage type for the spell. When using these lesser powered gems, they only need to be of a 15 CP value, but they only activate one specific damage type. The DM can of course approve any other gem or stone that makes sense. The DM might even create Gems that work for two different damage types. Like Agate might work for both Fire and Cold, but it’s value would need to be higher, maybe 35 CP
