This spell transforms a single object held in the caster's hand into gold, provided it's made of a earth element (wood, metal, rock...) Each success over the base obstacle transmute up to 1 kg of matter. Better be far away when the spell is dropped.

Very cool Redoid! I'm not going to check the math now, because my brain is broken. Regardless though, I love the idea. This works even better in the revision.

It should get a Majoris sigil, and you get +1D to Resources for each success over the Obstacle. SWEET.

Temporary Resources Thor (those items will not replenish in any way - sorceror will just barter them away for some other items/services).

Of course. Only so long as the spell is Sustained. But the sorcerer will still have whatever it was he wanted to purchase...as well as one very pissed off merchant on his tail.
