Rules Q&A
- Q: I am assuming that the ruling means that you can cast this spell regardless of whether or not you are producing gold through other means.
A: Right. Zen Faulkes, "Rules for 14 April 2003, Part 1", 14 Apr 2003 - Q: 3. Nature Provides: Can i bow a monk to produce gold by himself? or do i have to be actually producing gold (i.e, actually bowing a holding to pay for a personality in the dynasty phase).
A: Nope. You can only produce gold when you're doing something that has a gold cost associated with it. Jeff Alexander, "Rulings for 12-13 April 2001", 19 Apr 2001
