Transmutes one piece of unrefined Iron ore to Silver, or Silver ore to Gold if the caster is carrying any.

Master version: Transmutes one piece of unrefined Iron or Silver ore to Gold if the caster is carrying any.

Spells

The following spells use the Transmute Mineral Ore group of effects. Following each spell is the specific variant of the effect that it uses:

• Transmute: Transmute Mineral Ore (00109110; TransmuteOreMineralEffect)
• Master Transmute^CC: Master Transmute (FExxxCE0; ccKRTSSE001_TransmuteOreMineralEffect)

Notes

• Transmute will prioritize turning Silver Ore into Gold Ore, before changing more Iron Ore into Silver Ore. Thus, you will only receive Gold Ore from casting Transmute over and over again from a stack of Iron Ore. If you wish to obtain multiple Silver Ores from a stack of Iron Ores, (as two Silver Ores are required to make 1 Silver Ingot) you will have to drop your Silver Ore after each casting.
• Master Transmute^CC will prioritize turning Iron Ore into Gold Ore, before changing Silver Ore into Gold Ore.
• Any stolen Iron or Silver Ore that you transmute will lose its "Stolen" status, allowing you to sell it.
• This spell cannot be dual-cast. However, it is perfectly fine to cast the spell simultaneously in each hand, which will simply activate the effect twice.
• If casting in each hand, with a bit of timing, it is possible to get two Silver Ores at once: if both spells are launched at the very same time, only one effect will be applied. If launching both spells with a short delay (around half a second or a bit less), both spells will take effect on an Iron Ore, if no Silver Ore is previously contained in the inventory.
• This spell may be a reference to the common representation of magic users in folklore being capable of turning objects into gold, like the philosopher's stone.
• If you don't have any Iron or Silver Ore, a "You have no ore that can be transmuted." message will appear on the top left of the screen. This applies to both the original Transmute spell and Master Transmute.
