Transmute Mineral Ore, also commonly known as Transmute, is an Adept Alteration spell in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim that grants players the magical ability to turn simple mineral ore into precious metal. Transmute is one of the most beneficial spells in the game because it can be a lucrative source of income early on. Furthermore, the spell's location is very accessible, and it's relatively easy to cast, with a base Magicka cost of 88. Similar one-of-a-kind spells in Skyrim are often much more challenging to use due to their high Magicka level requirement.

To get the Transmute spell in Skyrim, head to Halted Stream Camp, a bandit encampment north of Whiterun and east of Silent Moons Camp. The main section of the camp is located underground, but the entrance to the den is well-guarded. Skyrim players who prefer a stealthy assault can go up the northern rocky ridge overlooking the fort towards the south.
