Requiring an entire corpse for a single minute of boosted jump seems a bit onerous.

Rules
Disclaimer These rules are copied directly from r/DnDMemes and will be adapted to Lemmy shortly.
Rule 1. Be Excellent to One Another: No trolling, harassment, personal attacks, sea-lioning, hate speech, slurs, or name-calling. Overly off-topic, political, or hateful debates will be removed, and bans may be issued based on severity. This includes both posts and comments. We reserve the right to remove content or comments that contain discrimination or distasteful content. Be kind and stay on topic.
Rule 2. No Reposts: Posts must not have been posted in !DnDMemes before. Reports with direct links to the original post will greatly expedite their removal process. Reposts from other subreddits are allowed, but once a meme is posted to !DnDMemes, it will forever after be considered a repost.
Rule 3. Post Style Guide: Posts must be strongly relevant to D&D (or other TTRPGs) and must include an attempt at humor or entertainment. Posts must be legible, understandable for a general audience and have some effort put into them, including titles. Video posts may be up to 3 minutes long, and they must be humorous in nature. Only one meme is allowed per post; posts with multiple images inside of them, such as a collage, will be removed. Posts must not rely solely on the title to relate to D&D.
Rule 4. No Advertising: Meme culture is non-profit. No links to stores, fundraising/payment sites, or comments asking for money/followers. Social media handles or website watermarks on original content are acceptable, unless these are monetized, and self promotion of one’s own social media should be limited to once per week. Accounts whose sole purpose are to push products, whether legitimately or fraudulently, will be permanently banned and their content removed.
Rule 5. No Piracy: Do not share or request pirated content. No linking, hinting at, or naming hosts of illicit non-SRD D&D content. You are allowed to copy-paste relevant rules or sections from sources, but large blocks of text may be removed.
Rule 6. No Beating a Dead Horse: Moderators may step in to issue a 3 month prohibition on certain meme topics and formats. The requirements for placing a topic on hiatus are 1. The topic has been prominent on the front page for at least 3 days or 2. The debate topic is toxic in nature. Certain historically overdone themes or formats may be retired permanently at moderator discretion/per user poll. Please see the current list.
The rules listed above are not exhaustive and decisions are made on a case-by-case basis. Such decisions can be appealed in mod mail, and the mods will do their best to come to a productive resolution. All "borderline" mod decisions are the product of informed and objective internal discussion. We welcome feedback on our rules and are always seeking to improve them for better clarity and creating a friendly, social environment here at !DnDMemes.

MODERATORS
Thank goodness most DMs just ignore spell ingredients.
Aren't spell ingredients made meaningless by the focus/holy symbol/whatever that casting classes get automatically? The only time I could see them being needed is if the character loses those items, an NPC without a focus, or a newly multiclassed character.
Personally I would prefer a lower material cost for spells but no focus/holy symbol/whatever. Something that functions more like arrows/crossbow bolts, so different types of magic consume different types of less than common items that can be bought at magic shops or looted of magic using opponents. At least that way you can run out, and the cost can scale in a way that is more intuitive for more powerful spells.
I think some ridiculously poweful spells should still have a high barrier in terms of materials. That way a character's individual quest could be to gather these rare materials that could elevate them to godhood, change something from their past etc.
(a humanoid corpse, worth at least 2gp, which the spell consumes)
You touch a creature with the corpse, the creature must use its reaction to jump triple its jump distance.
That makes so much more sense than the bland reading of the spell.
Aren’t spell ingredients made meaningless by the focus
Not spell components that are consumed. Also, I'll just leave this post of mine here.
But I have a component pouch??
You got a humanoid corpse in that puch?
bag of holding?
My party literally has a halfling corpse in their bag of holding. That corpse has served its narrative and clue-based purposes. It's still there. I've called attention to it. They are well aware. It's still in there.
I have replaced my wife's purse with a bag of holding, let's see how she reacts when she's digging around for her lipstick and touches a dead hobgoblin's face.
The point of this spell is a first level "hide body", which can arguably make it more useful than jump.
