Create Gold

Create Gold is a spell that looks like the answer to a long problem in alchemy.

Spell Description
For centuries, mages and alchemists in Britannia searched for a way to turn lead into gold. And finally they found it in the Create Gold spell. Casting it on a chunk of lead turns said chunk into a gold nugget. However, economists can be assured that this won't result in a massive gold inflation in Britannia. After the mages had finally discovered the spell, they were disappointed, since the cost of the reagents for this spell - especially the expensive mandrake root - was equal or more to the value of the created gold, thus making the spell pointless.

Lore


Trivia

 * In-game, the price for the reagents for one casting equals the value of one gold nugget - sometimes even more. Of course, should one get many free reagents, the spell does come in handy.
 * The Book of Fellowship states that ten nuggets are created for each chunk of lead. However, in the game only one nugget is actually created for each lead chunk.
