Create Gold is a spell that turns lead into gold.

Spell Description[edit]

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]

Lore[edit]

“ This spell changes a chunk of lead into ten gold nuggets.


Trivia[edit]

  • 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.
  • 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.
  • In Ultima Underworld Anjor found a better way to make gold but needed some very rare mineral to do it.
