Box of Shrinking
Wondrous item, rarity varies
These plain boxes are carved with Dwarvish runes,
surprisingly light, and roughly the size of a loaf of bread.
Inside, the box is much more extravagant, lined with
crushed velvet and studded with gems. An old dwarf
nursery rhyme plays when the box is open. “The Legend
of Calibra Daliq” is about a dwarf wizard thief who
shrunk herself to sneak past guards and locked doors in
order to get her riches.
The DM either rolls to determine the box’s type or
chooses one from the options available.

You can use the box of shrinking’s Grow and Shrink
abilities once per day each. You must be holding the box
to use either ability.
Grow. As an action, any item previously shrunken by
a box of shrinking of equal or lesser rarity and power
may be grown. The item must be placed in the box
of shrinking and its original size must be within the
parameters on the table above. Once the command word
is spoken the object appears in an unoccupied space
adjacent to the box of shrinking. You must be holding the
box of shrinking to use this ability.
Shrink. As an action you may speak a command word
and one non-living object within 50 feet of the box of
shrinking has its size reduced to a 1-inch cube, weighs
half a pound, and is teleported into the box. The item
stays this size until it is grown by a box of shrinking. The
shrunken item may be no larger than specified on the
table above.
