I'd argue that alone means it would disrupt the spell, since you just lost the critical component in the middle of casting. | |

Composition is DM's call. It's worth 0 gp; it's a magical facsimile." That said, the "worth 0 gp" bit isn't actually specified in the rules anywhere - but it's also not specified as having any gold value in the rules, either. | |

I think all your points are good ones, but it's not like all wizards would be gaining this workaround--just those who've chosen Conjuration over the relatively-popular Evocation or Necromancy schools, for instance. | |

It's an at-will ability with no real cost outside of some combat action economy considerations, so ability checks would just slow down play for no real benefit. I don't think that giving suggestions for how to limit abuse of this feature other than "don't allow material components" would make the answer better. | |
