They're meant to be rare. 5 gems in 2 months sounds low but not extraordinary considering you haven't all all the slots unlocked for those two months. I usually get 5 per week on average w/ every slot unlocked.

And the magic is also meant to not give you a full return- think of it as 'paying' for those gems as well as any tokens that drop.
