Bag of beholding

By:

Beauty is siad to be in the eye of the beholder.  Well, now it can be in the hand too, depending on what the peeping tom in you wants to look at with this bag.

Full Item Description
In appearance it’s just a regular bag with the exception of the ornately woven ribbon used to tie it closed.  It’s what this bag does other then hold things that makes it such a valued item though.

History
Magic users since time immemorial have used their powers to see places they couldn’t readily see.  Often these spells make use of common things such as mirrors or other reflective surfaces.  Just as often, this allows other magic users to see what one is looking at, spying on the scrying.

This bag was made by a mage who saw it a waste of room to have an extra item for scrying and didn’t want others to see what he was seeing.

Magic/Cursed Properties
When the user holds the bag closed with both hands and speaks the name of the place or person he or she wishes to see and then opens the bag, a scrying spell will be cast along with an illusionary spell so that when the user opens the bag, there appears to be a flat surface which shows them the target which they designated by speaking it’s name or description.  As long as the description is one that could be easily understood, the bag will work.

If the bag gets any holes in it, it stops working.

I cant help but think of a dirty old sack-mage opening his bag, looking in and chuckling for no apparent reason.

I like it, though brief as well.

I second Scras's thought. "That is just old man McGregor. He just sits in the corner looking into his sack. He found it about two years ago...about the same time he started going a little crazy with his giggle fits."

Great mental picture!

Yes that is an interesting image. This sub is a little short, but it is actually a nifty idea.

I like it, straight to the point.

A Cloak of Shadows that causes mushrooms to grow in its own shadow. A crouching theif might find himself in a ring of poisonous toadstools, an interesting thing for a sentry to find after the thief has left hiding place.
