To use a 3.5e comparison, a spellshard is akin to a Boccob's Blessed book in market value. I'm not sure how that would translate to in 4e, but it would mean most wizards would be saving up towards such an item. Of course if you were a member of good standing (and dragonmarked) in House Cannith you could concievable have a spellshard at an an early level, and a large debt to repay...

I would guess probably around 8-12 level, an once Eberron comes out we'll hopefully have a statted-out spellshard which will probably be pretty similar.
