Create Gold
Ultima VII Incantation: Rel Ylem Reagents: MR, SS Circle: 7th

Create Gold is a spell that turns lead into gold.

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 will not 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.^{[Citation needed]}

• In-game, the average price for the reagents for one casting approaches the value of one gold nugget however, prices can vary depending on where the reagents are acquired.
• This spell mirrors the primary objective of the out-game practice of alchemy.
