For instance, the Wealth Other Than Coins table indicates you can purchase a cow for $10gp each and salt sells for $5p per pound. Since an average mature cow weighs 1,650 pounds, transmuting it into salt nets you a quick $8,250  (or $66,000 if you use Animal Growth beforehand)!If your prefer a Core spell, a 12th level sor/wiz can use the 6th level spell, Wall of Iron to produce 12(5'x5'x 1-inch) = 25 cubic feet of pure iron x450 pounds per cubic foot (per Google search) x 1sp per pound from the Wealth Other Than Coin table, netting him a quick $11,250sp, less the $50 gold dust material component or $1,120gp per casting after the sp>gp conversion.</blockquote>
