Duration: Permanent
Casting Time: 1 segment
Area of Effect: 10 ft. x 10 ft. area
Saving Throw: Special

This spell allows the caster to quickly and accurately convert a pile of coinage (all types) into a neat pile of higher denomination coins of equivalent value to the coins that the spell was cast upon. Coins that are not carried by a creature within the area of effect get no saving throw and are automatically converted.

If a creature who holds or carries coins is within the area of effect he may attempt a saving throw to enable the coins on his person to resist the effect. The new pile of coins appears in the center of the area of effect. The caster may specify which denominations he wishes the coin converted to and may even specify that the new coins are to be stamped with a certain minting as long as he has seen the type of minting desired. With the reverse of this spell, the caster may make change from higher denominations of coinage. Saving throws described above apply for coinage carried by a creature. Note that a successful attempt at making small change on a full coin pouch may cause the pouch to burst at the seams. The material component of this spell is the pile of coins to be convened.
