    ok. this stackexchange answer suggests “at least” 810 gp as the cost for a wizard to cast wish.

    https://rpg.stackexchange.com/questions/138091/how-much-should-you-pay-a-wizard-for-casting-your-wish-spell-scroll-for-you#138094

    the cost of gp has little relation to that of modern currency. but in DND settings a goat costs one gp, and I am just going to bullshit and say goats are roughly as valuable irl as they are in the vaguely 18th century englandish default vibe of dnd. based on this goats as a store of value theory, we need to pay the wizard at least 810 goats.

    now the cost of a goat depends greatly on its age and type, but we can guess that the cost of an adult dairy goat will be about 750 USD: https://rurallivingtoday.com/livestock/how-much-does-a-goat-cost/

    in Australian dollars, the cost comes out to about $13,000. we now need to consult an Australia expert. @[email protected], is paying a wizard 13,000 Australian dollars to cast a tik tok protection spell over Australia a superior deal to paying an ai company however much to detect age from hand motions?
