Appearance
Opulent acts as a modifier on other genes, altering patterns, white patterns, and other mutations to give them a golden or metallic color and/or sheen. Opulent can also optionally cause a freckled/glittery effect through the coat and small streaks in the mane and tail, and gilded filigree anywhere on the body (either as a pattern on the fur, or as '3D' gilded filigree). Filigree can be combined with the Opal mutation for gems embedded in the lace-like patterns.
Opulent can affect horns and hooves, turning them into a shiny metal.
Opulent doesn't have to fully affect a pattern, it can also cause golden accents such as filling or outlining the pattern. It can co-exist with other mutations, for example with lich it may turn the bones gold, on serpent it can cause the scales to be golden or have a golden rim.
Affects mane and tail if the pattern/marking it's altering does.
Opulent should always be either gold, silver, bronze or copper. Variations are also allowed, such as white gold or rose gold. It is also allowed to "only" turn something metallic while retaining it's original colour, such as allowing elementally coloured horns to stay in the colour of their elemental alignment, while still having a metallic sheen.
