Her reaction to hearing they’re hurting a bit for money is to just effectively commit fraud, even if she can make legitimate materials. Like does she think the government or someone won’t notice that the day shift manager at a McDonald’s can just keep living like he did working at a significantly higher paying job?

I don’t think being able to transmute objects into gold is fraud. Its not like the objects turn back after an amount of time.

That’s a nice catch. I didn’t think of that at all!
