However, if they put a gold coin on one side, it could conjure a ceramic amulet stamped with some sort of symbol that they could investigate or something along those lines. Perhaps it could occasionally conjure something they'd rather not have around.If you go the transfiguration route, they would need something on both sides. They could put a silver ring on one side and a large rock on the other, and using the command word might enlarge the silver ring to weigh what the rock does, or it might turn the ring into one made out of rock - again, something that could be risky to use but might get the players trying to be clever with how they try to use it.</blockquote>
