IMAGINE

[Nominus Experse]

This causes me to think of the tale of the king that was granted the power to touch anything and have it turn to gold. He soon touched his daughter and she was instantly made to become gold.

It could have been a fable myth of some sort.

EDIT: Yes, it would appear to have been King Midas, Iri. There are variations in the tale (most notably that he sometimes has a son instead of a daughter, or no offspring to speak of), but the tale of King Midas is indeed the tale I was speaking of.
