level: 3
Category: Deception
Time: 1 minute
Duration: Special
Component Cost: Varies
Market Price: 125 gp
Key Skill: Arcana
You create an amount of illusory gold that vanishes after
a certain amount of time. The gold looks, feels, and
smells like real gold and weighs as much as real gold. You
create an amount of false gold equal to the amount you
spend as the ritual's component cost times a multiplier
based on your Arcana check result. Your Arcana check
result also determines how long the illusory gold exists.
For example, if you expend 100 gp as the component
cost and you achieve a result of 25 on your Arcana check,
you crdeate 1,000 gp worth of illusory gold that lasts for
4 hours.

Any creature can discern the true nature of the illusory
gold by succeeding on a Perception check or Arcana
check against a DC equal to your Arcana check result.
