That's actually a good idea. It crossed my mind too honestly. If the GM is okay with it and dosen't consider it too OP then it's perfect.

Maybe you could couple that with something like "a creeping cloud of pain, slithering over its target, enveloping them in agony, every tendril of its touch pure piercing pain." Then it wouldn't be too op because the opponent could see it.

As for the gold, maybe it's like an alchemy thing, where if it's lead you can turn it to gold. Of maybe it's just an illusion. When I was about to make a Dardar character, the power I had in mind was just a sort of selective illusion. The illusion of riches only created when you where within a yard of the character and focusing on the glittering gold.
