Right, don't buy anything with the gold. Done. I'm not sure what I'd use gold for either. Most places seem to use other currency. Who knows what that might be here!
It's possible I'm a little curious about it, but I'll take care and bare in mind that it might not be all it seems.
Oh, I doubt I'd be able to wield it (is that a term? I don't know!) but I'd like to know more. Honestly, I'd like to learn more about so many of the things and people here, but magic is so new and also makes me a criminal, so I see no downside here! Thanks Theo!
