Matter Effects

• • Straw into Gold — Just like Rumpelstiltskin, the mage can weave base matter into a valuable substance. It remains a homogenous material,

but it takes on qualities desired by the mage. Vulgar willworkers may literally turn tears into diamonds and straw into gold. More subtle magicians

could improve the quality of an existing object, or "accidentally discover" that an object is more valuable than it first appeared. In this fashion, a

mage can turn cheap beer into a decent stout, make generic brands seem of higher quality and cause an ordinary item to actually be made of

something valuable.
