Re: Making Bank with Earth to Stone
you can find ways to this magic not work properly, or it can justify some "changes in the campaing.
ex. there are a lot of very cheap quality armors and weapons, but the good ones must be made with "real" iron.
it explains why there are a lot of gold pieces in the kingdom, but only king's coin gold are accepted, so it must pass in an official Casting House to transform it in coins, and the king takes a large, very large, part of it. they can try to counterfeit the coins, but that could be an adventure itself, as you need molds and so on.
some times I think about split Earth to Stone into Earth to Stone (instantaneous) and Stone to Metal (permanent) and use it to justify gargantuan castles or other buildings
you can also change the price of dispel magic items, or have one box where magic is dispelled inside it, so merchants can dispel easily these gold or iron ingots
