Is there a spell that allows you to turn cloth into metal or stone?

Is there a spell that lets the user transform cloth into metal or stone for a short amount of time?



If not, is there one that transforms it permanently before another spell can reverse it? Preferably, the spell would be able to be cancelled before the normal ending!

    Do you mean cloth being worn by someone, without also turning the person themselves into stone? Or do you mean an unattended piece of cloth? What are you hoping to accomplish?

    Welcome to the site! Take the tour. Sometimes it's better to ask the underlying question rather than asking about that problem's possible solution. That is, what's the actual problem that arose during play that seemed to need exclusively this solution? Maybe folks could solve that problem without the need for a spell that does exactly this. That said, this remains a fine question as-is that I'm sure will garner some answers. Thank you for participating and have fun!

True polymorph is the only spell that will work



There are no spells that transform any objects into stone or metal by default. However, if you are a very high level caster and have two days to work with then true polymorph should work.



True polymorph can transform a creature into another creature, an object into a creature, or a creature into an object. However we are trying to transform one object made of cloth into another object made of stone or metal. That means you have to cast the spell twice - once to transform the cloth object into a creature and then again to change the creature into an object made of stone or metal.



Note that the cloth object must abide by the restriction:




the object must be neither worn nor carried by another creature




Since this is a 9th level spell and a caster only gets one 9th level spell slot per day, this means a single caster with no access to a free 9th level slot will have to cast it once, take a long rest, and then cast it again. Not exactly ideal, but it seems to be the only way to accomplish what you want.



However it is also good to note that the effect will last an hour after the second casting and can be ended at any time by stopping concentrating. After an hour it must be dispelled.

Not a spell, but...



Transmutation Wizard



At level 2




You perform a special alchemical procedure on one object composed entirely of wood, stone (but not a gemstone), iron, copper, or silver, transforming it into a different one of those materials.




And at level 14




You can transmute one nonmagical object—no larger than a 5—foot cube into another nonmagical object of similar size and mass and of equal or lesser value. You must spend 10 minutes handling the object to transform it.




I'm not sure whether you require a specific spell, but if not, this is very close to what you need.
