With gold finger, you can transform normal nonmagical objects into gold. The object retains its shape, but its material changes to solid gold. As noted in the target entry, this spell affects only nonmagic objects, it does not affect creatures (including animated objects and other constructs), magic items, or any objects with active spells on them, though it can affect objects made from creatures, such as wooden objects or a fur coat. This spell can be made permanent using a permanency spell cast by a minimum 15th-level caster with an expenditure of 3,500 XP.

Arcane Material Component: 1 gold coin
