Even powerful magicians sometimes require gold to further their plans. This skill allows the magician to perform trivial or common tasks for the local population of a city or province to earn gold. Examples of common tasks are curing runny noses, concocting love potions, dowsing for water, or performing conjuring tricks. Of course, this skill depends upon the peasants having money to spend.
Any money paid to the magician comes out of the peasants' accumulated wealth.
If they have no gold, the magician will come away empty-handed. The skill ends as soon as the peasants run out of money, e.g., if they only have money for four days of the magician's services, the skill will end after four days. The services the magician provides are genuinely valuable, and every day the magician is providing paid services to the peasants, 1-5 new peasants will be attracted to the province. This skill cannot be used in provinces with less than 100 peasants. Using this skill in a city is the same as using it in the province the city is in.
