Bag of...

One can never go wrong with a good bag. And one can always go wrong with a bad bag. The world, the multiverse, is littered with magical bags, spanning a seemingly infinite array of uses. Wizards, bored in their towers, just seem to continually gravitate to the humble bag when creating a piece of arcane artistry. Here is but a small helping of some of the magical bags created throughout the ages, by mages with too much time on their hands.

Bag of Beholding Wondrous item, legendary This purple bag of strangely textured leather, appears empty. Reaching inside the bag, however, reveals the presence of a small, slimey orb. The bag weighs 1/2 pound, and levitates 4 feet off the ground when not being worn. You can use an action to pull the slimey ord from the bag, revealing it to be a large eye. As a part of the same action, you may may fire a ray from the eye, which you determine by rolling a d10 and consulting the eye ray table. The effect of the ray is the same as the corresponding ray in the beholder's stat block (MM. p28). Once a ray is fired, the eye melts away, and the ray that was fired can't be fired again until the next dawn. If you roll on the eye ray table, and you roll a number that has been rolled already since the last dawn, roll on the eye ray table again. Eye Ray d10 Ray 1 Charm Ray. 2 Paralyzing Ray. 3 Fear Ray. 4 Slowing Ray. 5 Enervation Ray. 6 Telekinetic Ray. 7 Sleep Ray. 8 Petrification Ray. 9 Disintegration Ray. 10 Death Ray.

Bag of Billfolding Wondrous item, rare This small pouch has an interior space considerably larger than its outside dimensions, roughly 5 inches in diameter at the mouth and 7 inches deep. This pouch can hold up to 100,000 gold peices worth of currency. The pouch weighs less than a pound, regardless of it's contents. Any item placed within the pouch, that isn't a form of currency, is converted to an amount of gold, silver, or copper equal to it's market value.

Bag of Bolding Wondrous item, rare (requires attunement) While attuned to this bag, it shifts its appearance to match or compliment whatever you are wearing, to great effect. It really brings your whole outfit together, filling you with a confidence you didn't know you had and making you immune to being frightened.

Bag of Folding Wondrous item, rare This bag has an interior space considerably larger than its outside dimensions, roughly 2 feet in diameter at the mouth and 4 feet deep. Any item may be placed into the bag, provided it can fit through the opening, but only one item may be stored in the bag at a time. The bag weighs 15 pounds, regardless of its contents. Retrieving an item from the bag requires an action. Any item placed into the bag becomes perfectly and expertly folded. Items such as clothing, tarps, and similar objects are folded in the most efficient manner possible, where, should they be stored outside the bag of folding, it would conserve the most amount of space. Items that can't normally be folded, such as items made from stone, metal, glass, etc. are destroyed as the bag attempts to fold them anyway. If the bag is overloaded, pierced, or torn, it ruptures and is destroyed, and its contents are scattered in the Astral Plane. If the bag is turned inside out, its contents spill forth, unharmed, but the bag must be put right before it can be used again. If you place a folding boat within a bag of folding, the folding boat folds over and over indefinitely, becoming infinitely thinner and taller, destroying the bag. The boat then continues to fold indefinitely. A portal to mechanus opens within 30 feet of where the bag was destroyed, and 3d8 modrons come through the portal, which then closes. These modrons are hostile to you, because you are clearly an idiot, and extremely dangerous. If you place adamantine, or anything constructed from adamantine into the bag, both items are destroyed, and in their place is an immovable rod.
