I'd love to say I'd do the smart thing and buy tomes, but I will likely fork over the remnants for these cosmetics.

Because 90% of the appeal for the Executioner's Helm was how it looks.

Exactly 0%  of the appeal for the Executioner's Armour was how it looks.

These cosmetics fix 100% of those problems.

but let's imagine this perfectly plausible scenario: you're wielding a +1 Potency 20 Scepter, granting you 23 spell power (including spellcasting implement bonus). Suddenly, +2 spell power is awesome, your missile hits for 5 damage instead of 4, giving you raw +25% damage!

Hmm nice math .. but ALSO assuming the SUM of your invested points into spellcraft + your INT bonus + bonusses from enhancements etc. = 0 Wink
But ok ok ... im now complete fan of this because ... in rare scenario where you somehow fucksup your caster build, where you are willing to waste time on casting magic missiles on lvl 1 and where all stars are alligned ... well you can squeze little bit and have amazing +1 damage Cheesy
Totally worth investing in those books IMHO Cheesy

But jokes aside.
In paper +2 stacking spellpower is still +2 spellpower, no doubt of that. Its just ... its just (not even) funny realizing even most of the spells on lvl 30 caster gets sometimes ZERO benefit from it. And lets take GreaterRuin .. the biggest baddest damage spell (that you surely have metted thru roof all the time) with metas on +2 spellpower is difference of exactly 20 damage on that biggest baddest spell (x crit if crit happens of course). Isnt it feel really weak on spell that crits for tens of thousands ? Wink

I've pulled around 34k remnants in the last 12-14 months

Either I play too much or you play too little.
Or you are not running elites / ees at level ( which I doubt ) or you are not paying attention to rem drops ( which I doubt again ).
Either way, I had like 50k spare rems in bank at one point.
Kosher, no farming.
The cosmetic looks fugly so I am not interested in it, just saying that the price is not that high for supposedly rare item.

I've accumulated about 12,000 remnants TOTAL. Spent 8,000 on a cloak.
  
Do not try the patience of wizards, for they are subtle and quick to anger.

We are dreamers, shapers, singers, and makers. We study the mysteries of laser and circuit, crystal and scanner, holographic demons and invocation of equations. These are the tools we employ, and we know many things.

The absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.
