Artery of Midas

Summary
Artery of Midas is a spell that opens a portal to King Midas's Realm, an alternate dimension the size of a small country made entirely out of solid gold. When opened, the gold will slowly move out of the portal and turn anything it touches into gold.

The portal itself is the size of a dinner plate, and will stay open as long as it is being supplied magic by the caster. Average mages can only hold the portal open for around 60 seconds, while a top tier mage could keep it open for up to 3 hours.

Uses
The spell is far too slow to be used in combat, and easy to counter for most mages, though it can be used as a way to ignore durability against non-magical opponents.

The primary purpose is for mages to gain funds to use to buy supplies from non-magical enemies.

Curse
Due to accessing King Midas's realm, if a mage uses this spell too much, they will draw the attention and ire of King Midas himself. Once King Midas is angry, he will try to grab through the portal opening in his realm to drag the thief in. Once inside the realm, the caster will quickly be turned to gold and die, the pure exposure easily overpowering any sort of magical defenses.
