Ooops. Yes, units/round. So 1 ounce of teresium in a 1 inch radius
circle drains 12 SU/round (elemental and diving both)

True. Dan makes a good argument about the value of gold, but its
incorrect in context. If I have a spell that can move 20 pounds
can it not move more in zero gravity? We are talking about force
not value. Other spells that aren't about force (such as elemental
mastery) should be about mass not weight.
