ABJURANT SALT

600 GP AURA moderate abjuration CL 9th WEIGHT 1 lb.
Carried in a tube of beaten silver, this rough-ground salt is a powerful defense against evil conjurers. As a full-round action that provokes attacks of opportunity, the salt can be poured in a circle with a diameter of 5 feet or a straight line up to 15 feet long. While the line of salt remains unbroken and undisturbed, evil summoned or called creatures cannot physically cross it or interfere with it. These creatures can continue to make ranged or magical attacks over the line. Any other creature may disturb the line simply by scuffing it. The effects of the salt last as long as the line remains unbroken. Once laid, the salt cannot be recollected.

ALLURING GOLDEN APPLE

400 GP AURA faint enchantment CL 4th WEIGHT 1 lb.
This enchanted apple appears to be made of solid gold. When dropped or thrown, it draws the attention of the nearest hostile creature within 20 feet. The creature must make a DC 13 + CHA Will save or be paralyzed as if by hold person as it focuses its undivided attention on the golden apple. If the creature makes its save on a later round, it realizes it has been affected by magic and the apple is not actually gold. While focusing on the apple, the target takes a –2 penalty on Perception checks. The apple is consumed upon being dropped or thrown.

ANATOMY DOLL

1,000 GP AURA faint necromancy CL 5th WEIGHT 1 lb.
This stuffed rag doll might resemble a child’s toy if not for the vital organs depicted on its cloth. By dabbing the doll with a few drops of blood from a living creature (a standard action), the bearer can form a sympathetic link between the doll and the victim. If the chosen victim has spell resistance, the doll must beat the target’s spell resistance to create the link. As a standard action, the bearer can twist or stab the doll; this gives the target the sickened condition for one round and deals 1 point of negative energy damage plus 1 point for each die of the doll bearer’s sneak attack damage (if any). Each time the target is affected by the doll, it receives a DC 14 Will save to end the link. The doll’s holder needs line of effect to the victim, but not line of sight. Once linked to a particular creature, an anatomy doll cannot be linked to another creature, but the bearer can re-establish a broken link by anointing it with more of the target’s blood.

APPARATUS OF THE CRAB

90,000 GP AURA strong evocation and transmutation CL 19th WEIGHT 500 lbs.
An apparatus of the crab is a metallic magical vehicle. When unoccupied, it appears to be a large, sealed iron barrel big enough to hold two Medium creatures. Close examination, and a DC 20 Perception check, reveals a secret catch that opens a hatch at one end. Anyone who crawls inside finds 10 (unlabeled) levers and seating for two Medium or Small occupants. These levers allow those inside to activate and control the apparatus’s movements and actions.
LEVER (1d10) LEVER FUNCTION 1 Extend/retract legs and tail 2 Uncover/cover forward porthole 3 Uncover/cover side portholes 4 Extend/retract pincers and feelers 5 Snap pincers 6 Move forward/backward 7 Turn left/right 8 Open/close “eyes” with continual flame inside 9 Rise/sink in water 10 Open/close hatch
Operating a lever is a full-round action, and no lever may be operated more than once per round. However, since two characters can fit inside, the apparatus can move and attack in the same round. The device can function in water up to 900 feet deep. It holds enough air for a crew of two to survive 1d4+1 hours (twice as long for a single occupant).
When active, an apparatus of the crab has the following characteristics: hp 200; hardness 15; Speed 20 ft., swim 20 ft.; AC 20 (–1 size, +11 natural Melee 2 pincers +12 (2d8 CMB +14; CMD 24.

This set of picks, pins, and levers is housed in a supple leather bag decorated with arcane runes.
This set of masterwork thieves’ tools is the perfect accessory if you depend on a blend of magic and skill to achieve your thieving goals. In addition to granting the normal +2 circumstance bonus on Disable Device and Open Lock checks, these tools can grant a character with the trapfinding class feature a special benefit.

ARROW MAGNET

600 GP AURA faint abjuration CL 3rd WEIGHT —
This tiny silver cube is activated by throwing it at an intersection of squares within 50 feet. The cube hovers 5 feet above the ground at that location for the next 5 rounds. Any small projectile or thrown weapon (such as arrows, shuriken, vials, and bullets) that passes through the squares adjacent to the cube automatically turn in midair to hit the cube (no attack roll needed) instead of their intended target. The cube has 5 hit points and hardness 8. If the arrow magnet is touched by a creature or reduced to 0 hit points or less, it falls to the ground and is destroyed.
CONSTRUCTION REQUIREMENTS COST 300 GP Craft Wondrous Item, protection from arrows

BAG OF BOULDERS

Price (Item Level): 1,400 gp (5th) Body Slot: — Caster Level: 5th Aura: Faint; (DC 17) transmutation Activation: Standard (thrown) Weight: 1 lb.
This worn doeskin pouch holds a few unre- markable pebbles.
This pouch creates tiny pebbles that strike with the force of a catapult stone when thrown. Each stone has a range incre- ment of 50 feet. You are proficient with the stones and must make a successful ranged attack to strike with one. A stone disappears after it completes its fl ight. Activating a bag of boulders is a standard action that includes both drawing and throwing a stone.
Each bag of boulders has 3 charges, which are renewed each day at dawn. Spending 1 or more charges when you draw a pebble from the bag determines the damage dealt by the stone when thrown.
1 charge: Deals 2d6 points of bludgeon- ing damage. 2 charges: Deals 3d6 points of bludgeon- ing damage. 3 charges: Deals 4d6 points of bludgeon- ing damage.

Price (Item Level): 3,500 gp (8th) Body Slot: — Caster Level: 5th Aura: Faint; (DC 17) transmutation Activation: Standard (manipulation) Weight: —
This red burlap sack feels warm to the touch. A bag of flames contains a tiny ember of pure elemental fire. The bag has 3 charges, which are renewed each day at dawn. Spending 1 or more charges when you place your hand into the bag allows you to draw forth fi re to create a particular effect.
1 charge: Flame burns in your hand, as the produce flame spell, with a duration of 1 minute. Your melee touch attack deals 1d6+5 points of fire damage, or you can hurl the flame up to 120 feet as a ranged touch attack that deals 1d6+5 points of fi re damage (and ends the duration).
2 charges: You hurl the flame up to 30 feet away, whereupon it immediately turns into a Small fi re elemental. The elemental is under your control (as if summoned by summon nature’s ally II) and remains for 5 rounds.

BAG OF HOLDING

VARIES AURA moderate conjuration CL 9th WEIGHT 15+ lbs. This appears to be a common cloth sack about 2 feet by 4 feet in size. The bag of holding opens into a nondimensional space: its inside is larger than its outside dimensions. Regardless of what is put into the bag, it weighs a fixed amount. This weight, and the limits in weight and volume of the bag’s contents, depend on the bag’s type, as shown on the table below.
BAG WEIGHT LIMIT VOLUME LIMIT PRICE

• Type I 15 lbs. 250 lbs. 30 cubic ft. 2,500 gp
• Type II 25 lbs. 500 lbs. 70 cubic ft. 5,000 gp
• Type III 35 lbs. 1,000 lbs. 150 cubic ft. 7,400 gp
• Type IV 60 lbs. 1,500 lbs. 250 cubic ft. 10,000 gp

If a bag of holding is overloaded, or if sharp objects pierce it (from inside or outside), the bag immediately ruptures and is ruined, and all contents are lost forever. If a bag of holding is turned inside out, all of its contents spill out, unharmed, but the bag must be put right before it can be used again. If living creatures are placed within the bag, they can survive for up to 10 minutes, after which time they suffocate. Retrieving a specific item from a bag of holding is a move action, unless the bag contains more than an ordinary backpack would hold,in which case retrieving a specific item is a full-round action. Magic items placed inside the bag do not offer any benefit to the character carrying the bag.
If a bag of holding is placed within a portable hole, a rift to the Astral Plane is torn in the space: bag and hole alike are sucked into the void and forever lost. If a portable hole is placed within a bag of holding, it opens a gate to the Astral Plane: the hole, the bag, and any creatures within a 10-foot radius are drawn there, destroying the portable hole and bag of holding in the process.

BAG OF TRICKS

VARIES Gray 3,400 GP Rust 8,500 GP Tan 16,000 GP AURA faint conjuration CL 3rd WEIGHT 1 lb.
This small sack looks empty at first glance. Anyone reaching into the bag feels a small, fuzzy ball inside. If the ball is removed and tossed up to 20 feet away, it turns into an animal. The animal serves the character who drew it from the bag for 10 minutes (or until slain or ordered back into the bag), at which point it disappears. It can follow any of the commands described in the Handle Animal skill. Each of the three kinds of bags of tricks produces a different set of animals. Use the following tables to determine what animals can be drawn out of each.
Gray/Rust/Tan

• 01–30 Bat 01–30 Wolverine 01–30 Grizzly bear
• 31–60 Rat 31–60 Wolf 31–60 Lion
• 61–75 Cat 61–85 Boar 61–80 Heavy horse
• 76–90 Weasel 86–100 Leopard 81–90 Tiger
• 91–100 Riding dog 91–100 Rhinoceros

The heavy horse and the riding dog appear with harness and tack, and each accepts the character who drew it from the bag as a rider.
Animals produced are always random, and only one may exist at a time. Up to 10 animals can be drawn from the bag each week, but no more than two per day.

Banner of the Storms Eye

Price (Item Level): 15,000 gp (14th) Body Slot: — (held) or shoulders Caster Level: 3rd Aura: Faint; (DC 16) enchantment Activation: — Weight: 2 lb. (12 lb. if backpack frame worn)
This banner is a rectangular military standard depicting a white, two-tailed swirl—like a stylzed overhead view of a hurricane—on a dark green background. The banner’s fluttering movements seem slower than they should be. An unfurled banner of the storm’s eye always waves more slowly than nearby flags, and it seems unaffected by the wind or by the movement of its bearer.
As long as it is held aloft, the banner automatically suppresses (but does not dispel) fear effects on all creatures within 20 feet. It also prevents any creature within 20 feet from becoming confused or stunned.
Alternatively, you can mount the banner on a backpack frame to leave your hands free. The backpack frame costs 5 gp and weighs 10 pounds. While so mounted, the banner occupies your shoulders body slot. Prerequisites: Craft Wondrous Item, calm emotions. Cost to Create: 7,500 gp, 600 XP, 15 days.

BATTLE BRIDLE

Price (Item Level): 9,000 gp (12th) Body Slot: Face; see text Caster Level: 7th Aura: Moderate; (DC 18) enchantment Activation: — Weight: 1 lb.
A stampede of horses is depicted charg- ing across this surprisingly light leather saddle. A battle bridle occupies a mount’s face body slot. While you are mounted upon a creature that is wearing a battle bridle, you gain a +5 competence bonus on Ride checks and the benefit of the Mounted Combat feat. If you already have Mounted Combat, you instead gain the benefit of Ride-By Attack.
Prerequisites: Craft Wondrous Item, Mounted Combat, Ride-By Attack, calm animals. Cost to Create: 4,500 gp, 360 XP, 9 days.

BEAD OF FORCE

3,000 GP AURA moderate evocation CL 10th WEIGHT —
This small black sphere appears to be a lusterless pearl. A bead of force can be thrown up to 60 feet with no range penalties. Upon sharp impact, the bead explodes, sending forth a burst that deals 5d6 points of force damage to all creatures within a 10-foot radius.
Once thrown, a bead of force functions like a resilient sphere spell (Reflex DC 16 negates) with a radius of 10 feet and a duration of 10 minutes. A globe of shimmering force encloses the targeted creature, provided the latter is small enough to fit within the diameter of the sphere. The sphere contains its subject for the spell’s duration. The sphere is not subject to damage of any sort except from a rod of cancellation, a rod of negation, disintegrate, or a targeted dispel magic spell. These effects destroy the sphere without harm to the subject. Nothing can pass through the sphere, inside or out, though the subject can breathe normally. The subject may struggle, but the globe cannot be physically moved either by people outside it or by the struggles of those within. The explosion completely consumes the bead, making this a one-use item.
CONSTRUCTION REQUIREMENTS COST 1,500 GP Craft Wondrous Item, resilient sphere

BEAD OF NEWT PREVENTION

1,000 GP AURA faint abjuration CL 5th WEIGHT —
This bead is carved with a tiny pictogram representing a small, harmless animal such as a newt, rabbit, or frog. If the bearer fails a saving throw against a hostile polymorph effect such as baleful polymorph, the bead is destroyed and the effect does not affect the bearer.
CONSTRUCTION REQUIREMENTS COST 500 GP Craft Wondrous Item, dispel magic

BEAST-BOND BRAND

1,000 GP AURA faint abjuration CL 5th WEIGHT —
This sticky henna paste is used to stamp a rust-colored handprint onto the body of a familiar or animal companion, and a hoof, claw, or paw print from that creature onto its master. These brands demonstrate a bond of friendship and balance, not ownership and subservience. Applying the brand requires a full-round action each for master and companion. The brand enhances the share spells ability of druids, wizards, and other classes with animal companions or familiars, allowing these characters to cast spells with a range of personal or touch on the marked companion at a range of 30 feet, provided the character has line of effect to the creature. Each spell cast at range in this way drains one charge from the beast-bond brand for each spell level of the spell cast. A newly applied beast-bond brand has 10 charges. When all charges are consumed, the brand vanishes. For the purposes of teleportation spells and effects, the master may treat a marked companion as an object or a creature, whichever is more favorable (weight restrictions still apply).
A character may have only one creature marked in this way at any time. The brand lasts until all charges are expended or the master marks another companion in this way.
CONSTRUCTION REQUIREMENTS COST 500 GP Craft Wondrous Item, Reach Spell (Advanced Player’s Guide), creator must have an animal companion or familiar

BLACK SOUL SHARD

12,000 GP AURA moderate necromancy CL 7th WEIGHT —
This dark gem attunes itself to the soul of its bearer. When carried close to the body of a creature continuously for 1 week, the gem harmlessly absorbs a portion of that creature’s life essence. If separated from its bearer for at least 1 day, the gem loses this attunement. If the bearer gains one or more negative levels, the black soul shard absorbs one of these negative levels into itself, negating the effect. The black soul shard can only absorb a negative level if carried by the person it is attuned to. If an attuned black soul shard is used as an additional focus component for raising the attuned creature from the dead, the negative level cost of being raised is one less than normal (minimum 1), but only if the spell is cast within 24 hours of the creature’s death.
Absorbing a negative level (whether from an attack or raising the attuned creature from the dead) destroys the portion of the soul within a black soul shard. This does not harm the creature, but requires re-attuning the gem for another week for it to function again. A creature can only have one black soul shard attuned to it at a time.
CONSTRUCTION REQUIREMENTS COST 6,000 GP Craft Wondrous Item, death ward, restoration

BLAST DISK

Price (Item Level): 900 gp (4th) Body Slot: — (held) Caster Level: 5th Aura: Faint; (DC 17) evocation Activation: Standard (manipulation) Weight: 1 lb.
This jet-black, 8-inch-diameter plate bears a bas relief humanoid skull surrounded by runes and sigils. Its other side is perfectly smooth and flat.
A blast disk can be set to explode through proximity or on a timer. In either case, when the disk activates it explodes, destroying the blast disk and dealing 5d6 points of fire damage to all creatures and objects within 10 feet (Reflex DC 14 half).
If set to explode through proximity, a blast disk must be set down in a square on the battlefield. The next creature of Small or larger size to enter that square (either on the ground or airborne within 5 feet) sets off the blast disk. That creature receives a –2 penalty on the save against the blast.
A blast disk can also be set to auto- matically explode up to 10 rounds after placement. A character who has trapfinding can find (Search DC 28) and disable (Disable Device DC 28) a blast disk.

BLAST GLOBES

Price (Item Level): 8,000 gp (11th) Body Slot: — (held) Caster Level: 11th Aura: Moderate; (DC 20) evocation Activation: Standard (command see text Weight: 1 lb.
Dozens of smaller glass spheres comprise this fist-sized orb. The flicker of a small flame seems to reflect from deep within.
When you activate a set of blast globes, the transparent globes separate and begin circling each other. One round after they activate, you can direct the globes to strike (as a group) any location within 400 feet as a free action. The globes then move to that location and create an explosion in a 20-foot-radius spread. Any creature in the area takes 10d6 points of fi re damage and 2d6 points of sonic damage, is deaf- ened for 2d6 rounds, and is pushed 1d6 squares away from the center of the blast. A successful DC 15 Reflex save halves the fi re damage and negates the push, while a successful DC 15 Fortitude save negates the deafening effect.
After exploding, the globes reform in your hands or at your feet (if your hands are full). This ability functions once per day.
Prerequisites: Craft Wondrous Item, fireball, shout. Cost to Create: 4,000 gp, 320 XP, 8 days.

BLOOD RESERVOIR OF PHYSICAL PROWESS

2,000 GP AURA faint necromancy CL 3rd WEIGHT —
This blown-glass vial has a chain for attaching it to the handle of a weapon. When filled with the wearer’s blood, it gains powerful magic. Filling the reservoir takes a full minute, deals 4 points of Constitution damage (which can be healed normally), and imbues the reservoir with 4 charges. Charging the reservoir changes the blood to magical fluid, which does not clot or decay with time. The wearer can speak the first command word to draw 1 or more charges from the reservoir, curing 1 point of physical ability score damage per charge used.
The wearer can speak the second command word to imbue herself with a great burst of physical prowess, depleting all remaining charges and gaining an inherent bonus to one physical ability score equal to twice the number of charges used. This bonus lasts until the end of the wearer’s next turn.
The bearer can only use the reservoir if it is held in hand or attached to a held or wielded weapon. A bearer can safely carry only one charged reservoir at a time; any others spontaneously drain their charges in 1d10 rounds, leaving only the highest charged reservoir intact. A reservoir has no effect if not charged with the wearer’s blood, and cannot be charged by bloodless creatures or those that cannot take Constitution damage.
CONSTRUCTION REQUIREMENTS COST 1,000 GP Craft Wondrous Item, death knell

BONE RAZOR

5,000 GP AURA faint necromancy CL 5th WEIGHT 1 lb.
This jagged bone knife seems too thin and frail for combat but easily cuts flesh (as a bone dagger). If used to perform a coup de grace on a helpless living creature and the creature dies from the attack, the creature’s flesh begins to peel off and its bones animate as a skeleton under the command of the bearer of the razor. The creature’s flesh is not destroyed, but decays at a steady rate. The bearer of the razor can spend 1 minute reattaching the flesh to the animate skeleton, which ends the necromantic magic and results in a normal corpse (though a corpse of a person killed or mutilated by knife wounds). If the bearer uses the razor to flense and animate another creature’s bones, the previous animate skeleton is immediately destroyed.

BOOK OF EXTENDED SUMMONING

VARIES Lesser 750 GP Medium 2,750 GP Greater 6,126 GP AURA strong conjuration CL 17th WEIGHT 1 lb.
This leather-bound book is inscribed with runes relating to outsiders and conjuration magic. It enhances spells that summon monsters. The user may apply the Extend Spell feat to these spells as they are cast. This does not change the spell slot of the altered spell. The book counts as a metamagic rod for the purpose of combining multiple metamagic effects on a spell. A normal book of extended summoning can be used with spells of 6th level or lower, while a lesser book can be used with spells of 3rd level or lower, and a greater book can be used with spells of 9th level or lower. Each book is keyed to a particular alignment (equal chances of chaotic, evil, good, or lawful) and only works when used to summon a creature with that alignment.

BOTTLE OF AIR

7,250 GP AURA moderate transmutation CL 7th WEIGHT 2 lbs.
This item appears to be a normal glass bottle with a cork. When taken to any airless environment, it retains air within it at all times, continually renewing its contents. This means that a character can draw air out of the bottle to breathe. The bottle can even be shared by multiple characters who pass it around. Breathing out of the bottle is a standard action, but a character so doing can then act for as long as she can hold her breath.

BOUNDARY CHALK

10,000 GP AURA moderate evocation CL 10th WEIGHT —
The surface of this stick of white chalk is covered with silvery runes.

Drawing a 5-foot line is a standard action that provokes acts of opportunity. Each wall lasts 10 minutes; the bearer of the chalk can dismiss a section of wall as a swift action by touching the stick of chalk to it. One stick of boundary chalk can draw 100 feet of line before it is used up, and it must be used in 5-foot increments.

CANDLE OF INVOCATION

8,400 GP AURA strong conjuration CL 17th WEIGHT 1/2 lb.
Each of these special tapers is dedicated to one of the nine alignments. Simply burning the candle generates a favorable aura for the individual if the candle’s alignment matches that of the character. Characters of the same alignment as the burning candle add a +2 morale bonus on attack rolls, saving throws, and skill checks while within 30 feet of the flame.
A cleric whose alignment matches the candle’s operates as if two levels higher for purposes of determining spells per day if he burns the candle during or just prior to his spell preparation time. He can even cast spells normally unavailable to him as if he were of that higher level, but only so long as the candle continues to burn. Except in special cases (see below), a candle burns for 4 hours. It is possible to extinguish the candle simply by blowing it out, so users often place it in a lantern to protect it from drafts and the like. Doing this doesn’t interfere with its magical properties.
In addition, burning a candle also allows the owner to cast a gate spell, the respondent being of the same alignment as the candle, but the taper is immediately consumed in the process.

This constantly vibrating silver chime is inscribed with bizarre, alien musical notes. A chime of harmonic agony allows you to channel musical power through your own body to wreak harm on your enemies. When you activate the chime, you must spend one daily use of your bardic music ability and target a creature within 30 feet.

CHIME OF OPENING 

3,000 GP AURA moderate transmutation CL 11th WEIGHT 1 lb.
A chime of opening is a hollow mithral tube about 1 foot long. When struck, it sends forth magical vibrations that cause locks, lids, doors, valves, and portals to open. The device functions against normal bars, shackles, chains, bolts, and so on. A chime of opening also automatically dispels a hold portal spell or even an arcane lock cast by a spellcaster of lower than 15th level.
The chime must be pointed at the item or gate to be loosed or opened (which must be visible and known to the user). The chime is then struck and a clear tone rings forth. The wielder can then make a caster level check against the lock or binding, using the chime’s caster level in place of her own. The DC of this check is equal to the Disable Device DC to open the lock or binding. Each sounding only opens one form of locking, so if a chest is chained, padlocked, locked, and arcane locked, it takes four successful uses of a chime of opening to get it open. A silence spell negates the power of the device. A brand-new chime can be used a total of 10 times before it cracks and becomes useless.

CHIME OF RESOUNDING SILENCE

This foot-long tube of gold absorbs nearby sound when struck, as if it were the target of a silence spell. This ability can be used once per day. The chime vibrates silently for the next 5 rounds, increasing in strength as time passes. On the bearer’s turn each round there is a cumulative 20% chance that the chime prematurely ends the magical
silence and releases the pent-up sound as a shout spell as a free action, oriented in a random direction. The bearer may spend a standard action to strike the vibrating chime again, ending its silence early and unleashing the shout in a direction of his choosing. If dropped while vibrating, the chime automatically gains the broken condition and releases the shout effect in a random direction. A broken chime of resounding silence cannot be used until it is repaired. The chime has no effect if struck in an area of silence it did not create.

COGNIZANCE CRYSTAL

Price (Item Level): See text Body Slot: — Caster Level: See table Aura: See table; (DC varies) evocation Activation: Free (mental) Weight: 1 lb.
Silver wire gently encloses and binds a large core crystal and several smaller crystals in a geometric design. The aquamarine crystals emit a faint glow.
A cognizance crystal stores power points, which the holder can use to manifest a psionic power she knows (instead of spending points from her own power pool). You cannot directly replenish your personal power points from those stored in a cognizance crystal, nor can you draw power points from more than one source to manifest a power (even if that second source is your own power pool).
A cognizance crystal can store only as many power points as its original maxi- mum, set at the time of its creation. When a crystal’s power points are used up, the glow of the crystal dims. A user can recharge it by paying power points on a 1-for-1 basis (a standard [mental] action). While doing this depletes the user’s own power point reserve for the day, those power points remain available in the crystal until used.
Before you can use a cognizance crystal, you must hold or have it on your person for at least 10 continuous minutes.
A typical cognizance crystal has AC 7, 10 hit points, hardness 8, and a break DC of 16. Prerequisites: Craft Cognizance Crystal (EPH 44). Cost to Create: See table.

This is the most common form of scrying device, a crystal sphere about 6 inches in diameter. So well-known are these items that many so-called oracles or fortune-tellers use similar appearing (but completely nonmagical) replicas of these items to ply their trades. A character can use a magical crystal ball to see over virtually any distance or into other planes of existence, as with the spell scrying (Will DC 16 negates). A crystal ball can be used multiple times per day, but the DC to resist its power decreases by 1 for each additional use.

CUBE OF FORCE 

62,000 GP AURA moderate evocation CL 10th WEIGHT 1/2 lb. This device is just under an inch across and can be made of ivory, bone, or any hard mineral. Typically, each of the cube’s faces are polished smooth, but sometimes they are etched with runes. The device enables its possessor to put up a special cube made up of 6 individual wall of force spells, 10 feet on a side around her person. This cubic screen moves with the character and is impervious to the attack forms mentioned on the table below. The cube has 36 charges when fully charged— charges used are automatically renewed each day. The possessor presses one face of the cube to activate a particular type of screen or to deactivate the device. Each effect costs a certain number of charges to maintain for every minute (or portion of a minute) it is in operation. Also, when an effect is active, the possessor’s speed is limited to the maximum value given on the following table. When the cube of force is active, attacks dealing more than 30 points of damage to a wall drain 1 charge for every 10 points of damage beyond 30 that they deal. The charge cost to maintain each of the cube’s six walls is summarized below.
CUBE CHARGE COST MAX. FACE PER MINUTE SPEED EFFECT

• 1 1 30 ft. Keeps out gases, wind, etc.

This cube is activated or deactivated by pressing one side. When activated, it creates a cube-shaped area 10 feet on a side centered on the possessor (or on the cube itself, if the item is later placed on a surface). The temperature within this area is always at least 65° F. The field absorbs all cold-based attacks. However, if the field is subjected to more than 50 points of cold damage in 1 round (from one or multiple attacks), it collapses and cannot be reactivated for 1 hour. If the field absorbs more than 100 points of cold damage in a 10-round period, the cube is destroyed.

CUBIC GATE

164,000 GP AURA strong conjuration CL 13th WEIGHT 2 lbs.
This potent magical item is a small cube fashioned from carnelian. Each of the six sides of the cube is keyed to a different plane of existence or dimension, one of which is the Material Plane. The character creating the item chooses the planes to which the other five sides are keyed. If a side of the cubic gate is pressed once, it opens a gate to a random point on the plane keyed to that side. There is a 10% chance per minute that an outsider from that plane (determine randomly) comes through it looking for food, fun, or trouble. Pressing the side a second time closes the gate. It is impossible to open more than one gate at a time. If a side is pressed twice in quick succession, the character so doing is transported to a random point on the other plane, along with all creatures in adjacent squares. The other creatures may avoid this fate by succeeding on DC 23 Will saves.
