Swindler's Mark

Minor Illusion Curse (Object)

Description. The Swindler’s Mark is a subtle illusion curse that alters the appearance of coins or gemstones to make them seem far more valuable than they are. It is frequently used in attempts to defraud merchants and collectors. Effects. A coin or gemstone affected by this curse appears as one worth ten times its actual value. A creature that inspects the item can identify it as cursed and counterfeit by making an Arcana or Investigation check (DC 12). Breaking. Remove Curse, Dispel Magic, or an anti-magic field restores the object’s true appearance and value.
