This spell enables a specially constructed chest to be hidden deep within the Ethereal Plane, to be summoned using a small model of the chest. The large chest must be exceptionally well-crafted and expensive, costing 1000 sp to construct. The end product will hold 12 cubic feet (i.e., the chest will be about 2' x 2' x 3'.
While touching the chest and holding the tiny replica, the caster chants the spell. This causes the large chest to vanish into the Ethereal Plane. Note that the spell will fail if the chest holds a creature or other living entity.
As long as the spellcaster has the small duplicate of the magical chest, he can recall the large one from the Ethereal Plane. To recover the chest from the ethereal plane, the mage holds the tiny replica and casts this spell. The large chest reappears at a point designated by the mage (but within a few feet).
How often the mage can recover the chest, and the maximum time that he can go between recovering the chest, is a factor of rank.
| Rank | Chest may not be recalled until ___ have passed. | Chest lost if ___ passes without the chest being recovered. |
| 1-2 | 10 days | 2 months |
| 3-4 | 9 days | 2 months |
| 5-6 | 8 days | 2 months |
| 7-8 | 7 days | 3 months |
| 9-10 | 6 days | 4 months |
| 11-12 | 5 days | 5 months |
| 13 | 4 days | 6 months |
| 14 | 3 days | 7 months |
| 15 | 2 days | 8 months |
| 16 | 24 hours | 9 months |
| 17 | 18 hours | 10 months |
| 18 | 12 hours | 11 months |
| 19 | 6 hours | 1 year |
| 20 | 3 hours | 3 years |
| 21 | 30 minutes | 5 years |
| 22 | 5 minutes | infinite (chest is never lost) |
For example, if a rank 3 mage casts this spell, the chest vanishes into the ethereal plane. The mage cannot recall the chest until at least 9 days have passed. If the mage lets 2 months (60 days) pass without recalling the chest, it is lost and cannot be recovered with this spell. If the mage goes up in rank, the new time periods immediately take effect, even if the chest was lost. That means that the mage can always recover a lost chest by eventually advancing to rank 22.
A mage can only have one pair of chests at any given time. If a second pair is constructed and used, the first pair is lost. |
