I guess we could just use nerif's blood.

But lets be honest. Everyone who uses bombs, has a stack of them that ain't running out in PvP anytime soon. The point of making it more accessible is to make it able to be used in PvE content too, so you hog them less cause they can be "Remade easily". Its a psychological thing, people are much more likely to hog stuff they get by harder and end up having a way larger stack than they need (or never actually use it if its to rare), but if its easy and they don't feel bad about using them, they actually have less.

Besides, If Runemage can casually reduce someones hit by 70+ with their smoke across the field+ also reducing their evade by like 45, its probably not that bad either. Also most of the crafts that need gunpowder are actually tame to borderline useless, I do not think the "gatekeeping" should be at gunpowder but at bombs themselves if they turn out to be too cheap. I do not think it's as big of an issue honestly.
