Description

full Uh… that was supposed to be an impossible task. full So you’re saying we did the impossible?  
full I guess… how did you know that spell? full I dunno, ask Luna full I dunno, ask the giant gold brick. full MWWUHHH.  
full I see. full[Outstretches a tongue and licks Fausticorn with it] full I think he likes you. full This is beyond weird.  
full Going through the effort of smelting loads of gold into a cube and burying it under a road isn’t weird enough?  
full But that was for my amusement. full Pretty pricy amusement if you ask me. full But well worth it.  
full Of course, I could upset this upset by spawning in an even bigger block of gold, thus devaluing your gold and forcing you to return my gold.  
full But why would I want my block of gold back if I can easily just materialize more of it? full So you can create a castle for us on the fly?  
full As in we don’t need to camp out why workers build our new palace for us over the next few years? full Nah. The economy needs it.  
full Aw shoot; we could have brought along our camping gear! full Nah- let’s live without equipment  
full We’ll filter our own water, make our own tree-house, hunt our own food. It’ll be epic. full I like this idea.”

250 metric tons of gold: 355,000 bits, or about $240 billion. Gold is not quite as valuable in their world as ours, but still, that’s a respectable amount of seed money.

It’s probably an alloy – maybe as low as 20% purity, the rest being brass or something for durability.

Couldn’t they just dismiss the spell when they’re done moving it?

They can keep it like Fort Knox, and issue brass bits against ownership of tiny fractions of the cube. Eventually a growing economy will go off the gold standard anyway.
 
Alternatively, if you’re skilled enough to ensoul an object you’re probably skilled enough to transfer a soul between bodies. Move the cube’s soul to a new receptacle. Maybe the castle itself.

Also, I like how cheerful they are about “ensouling” an object that’s subsequently going to be melted down and separated into thousands of pieces across the world.
