Seed: dispel (DC 19). Factors: +90 on check (+90 DC), 1-action casting time (+20 DC)This spell functions similarly to greater dispel magic, except that the caster level check is 1d20 + 100 vs. a DC of 11 + CL.MakingConjuration (Creation)Spellcraft DC:205Components: V,SCasting Time: 1 minuteRange: 0 ft.Effect: up to 30 cu. ft. of non-living matterDuration: PermanentSaving Throw: NoneSpell Resistance: NoTo Develop: 1,845,000 gp; 37 days; 73,800 XP. Seed: conjure (DC 21). Factors: +10 cu. ft. (+20 DC), permanent duration (x5 DC)This spell creates a nonmagical, unattended object of nonliving matter of up to 30 cubic feet in volume. The caster must succeed at an appropriate skill check to make a complex item.Once I had statted out Making, I realized that material wealth is pretty much irrelevant if you have such a spell.  The seed description states that any material, including substances such as mithral and adamantine, can be created with the conjure seed.  After thinking about that, I did a few calculations and arrived at the conclusion that a cubic foot of platinum weighs almost 1340 lbs.  At 500 gp/lb, this means that a single cubic foot of platinum is worth 669,855 gp, so a single casting of Making could create 20,095,650 gp worth of the metal.  The drawback being that this is a permanent spell, not an instantaneous one, so that a high enough level caster (one casting Complete Dispelling, perhaps) could dismiss this substance.  Barring that, it's as good as the real thing...I was hoping to get someone to shoot a hole in my conclusions...  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
