You can't socket 3 X 23 spell power. 23 spell power is red socket, and if I am right there is only one red socket and other yellow, blue (can't be 100% sure since I don't have it.)
But I think if you like spell power you can socket 12 spell power + other stat on yellow and blue socket. or dragon eyes if you are JC
Instead of helping you they all just assume you know. You may but for other readers I'll explain it.
If you socket gems according to the colour scheme on the items you get a socket bonus. This socket bonus together with a meta gem some where on your gear would influance how you place the gems.
However, you can slot any gem in any colour slot and get the gem bonus, you will however lose out on the Socket bonus for that piece of gear, or even on the Meta gem if you don't have the correct number of coloured gems to supply you with the Meta Gem bonus.
But if you want you can stack red gems in all your slots if it is worth more than the socket bonus and if you don't lose your meta gem bonus. Of ir the Meta Gem bonus is not worth your while.
Hope it makes sense
