Bek's Book of Blissful Bewitchment: Everyday items for non-adventurers

[bekeleven]

"There aren't even rules for sleeping, you know!"
— Miko Miyazaki (OoTS 224)

Bek's Book of Blissful Betwitchment is a compendium of magical items intended to make life more comfortable.

These items have varying level of mechanical utility and, indeed, varying levels of mechanical text at all. But that's all right. NPCs don't get to ignore the roleplay, and when everying's roleplay, nothing is. Here you will find a variety of magical tools designed to bring everyday convenience to a fantasy world. Many of these designs are inspired by modern technology. Many of these designs are sourced from others, often on these very forums.

And yes, if you let me, I will 100% buy some of these in a game. I love this stuff.

Pricing
The price of each item here began with the standard magic item creation pricing rules outlined in the DMG. However, as you may have noticed elsewhere in that same book, NPCs don't have a ton of money, and I don't want only the ultra-rich to have something like "a lightbulb" or "air conditioning." Therefore, I tried to strike a midpoint between the first-order "stock" prices and prices these items would command in our real world, where billions have access to many of them. I did this by adding modifiers where I deemed appropriate, for example, determining the number of squares covered by a standard Obscuring Mist and dividing the price of Privacy Tent by the ratio. As a bonus, these bring many of these items into the price ranges where players wouldn't feel as bad shelling out for "flavor" items.

Ablutive Armoire
Concept: Washer/Dryer
Category: Furniture (Placed)
Activation: —
Description: This walnut wardrobe is six feet tall, four feet wide, and two feet deep. Its exterior has two mirrored double doors. Inside the left half is a hanging rail with four feet of clearance as well as a small shelf. The right interior includes a hanging rail with two feet of clearance, with the remaining space taken up by more shelves and cubbies. Across the very bottom of both shelves is a rosewood drawer.
Any clothing inserted in the rosewood drawer will be slowly washed, dried, and pressed over the course of 8 hours. Once fully clean, it's lifted through a small hatch atop the drawer and hung or placed in the location most appropriate.

Ale Goggles
Concept: Beer goggles
Category: Gear (Eyes)
Activation: —
Description: Traditionally found as well-worn leather goggles, the same magic can be found in less conspicuous glasses. Regardless, the function of these goggles is apparent once worn.
When the wearer relaxes and lets the Ale Goggles work their magic, they find everybody around them more charming. Effectively, they are charmed by those around them, finding them more attractive, witty, and entertaining. This effect is both mind-affecting and willing-only.
Mechanically, all charisma-based skill and ability checks made on or against the wearer get a +2 circumstance bonus so long as the wearer consents. This also applies to group influence. For instance, if watching a performance, the wearer will enjoy it that much more (the performer's perform check being 2 higher for the purposes of the Ale Goggle wearer).

Arrow of Calling
Concept: Laser Telemeter
Category: Equipment (Held)
Activation: Standard (Manipulation)
Description: The Arrow of Calling is thicker than an arrow fired from a bow, almost an inch around the shaft, but still has an arrowhead and fletching.
The holder of this arrow can point it in any direction. After 3-4 seconds of being pointed at the same thing, they will psychically know the exact distance (to the half-inch) from the tip of the arrow to the nearest object (solid or liquid) a straight line away.
The Arrow of Calling will report any distance over 1000 feet as 1000 feet. In addition, if pointing at a far-off target, not everyone can hold it steady enough that it will point at the same thing for 3-4 seconds and activate. Characters measuring distances over 100 feet must make a dexterity check, with a DC of 10 + 2 for every 100 feet. Failing to point the arrow for the requisite time returns no result, not an incorrect result.

Book Press
Concept: Printing Press
Category: Furniture
Activation: Full-Round (Manipulation)
Description: This large contraption, approximately rectangular in shape, is 4' tall, 3' wide, and 4' long. It's a mishmash of gears and wires, with its most discernable features a series of labeled bays and a horizontal tunnel going through it lengthwise. The bays have labels such as Ink, Medium, Binding, and Gilding, and must be loaded prior to use.
When a nonmagical book is placed in one end of the tunnel, a pair of doors close on the tunnel's ends, sealing it from view. Within 30 minutes to an hour, the doors will open, both ends revealing the same book. One is the original, and the other constructed from the materials provided.
There are limitations. For size, the tunnel can't hold books wider than 13"×6". The book's contents can't be reproduced in better condition than the template book, so the reproduction will share any torn or folded pages, smeared ink, or any other blemish, be it from wear or production mistakes. It also needs multiple inks loaded to reproduce any color illustrations or covers. However, the reproduction can change page medium (such as rough parchment to fine paper) and other individual components.
A typical book requires 1 to 5 GP of raw materials to reproduce, although books with color illustrations, gilded binding, or a particularly high page count can increase this amount. Lack of materials results in production errors, and usually, an unusable book: For instance, running out of paper will instead cause the few existing pages to get soaked through with ink.

Booster
Concept: Repulsorlift
Category: Equipment
Activation: Standard (Manipulation)
Description: This small wooden disc resembles a drink coaster, except that it's nearly an inch thick. Its function is to reduce weight. A booster exerts a constant upwards force of 5 lbs, but can never exceed the weight of objects directly above it. In other words, it never moves an object upwards on its own, and if not underneath another object, it will not float or fly upwards. Placing one or more boosters underneath a heavy object will cause that object to become 5 lbs lighter for each one placed, down to a minimum of 0 lbs (weightless). Boosters move with the objects above them, but can be off easily peeled off. A larger model, one foot in diameter, can cancel up to 100 lbs and works otherwise identically. Boosters don't function on living creatures, but can be placed under a backpack.
Weight: Up to -5 lbs / -100 lbs (large)
Prerequisites: CL 1st; Craft Wondrous Item, Mage Hand (standard) or Floating Disk (large)
Price: 200 gp (Standard), 2000 gp (Large)
Aura: Faint Evocation

Bronzer
Concept: Sunscreen
Category: Consumable
Activation: Full-Round (Manipulation)
Description: This small cylindrical tin, 3 inches tall with a 4 inch diameter, contains a slowly-regenerating supply of a cream-like substance that can be slathered over the user's skin. Standard bronzer, when applied, protects the user for 24 hours from any harmful effects of the sun's rays on their skin (but not their eyes, so it has no effect against light sensitivity) as well as the harmful effects of any light effects of first level or lower. In addition, for many species, light exposure will cause the creature's skin to darken in a way many find pleasing. A single tin generates enough to coat one user per day, regardless of the user's size, and can fit 5 coatings at a time.
Deluxe Bronzer forgoes the need for exposing oneself to light, performing the same actions even if the user spends the day indoors.
Weight: 1 lb
Prerequisites: CL 1st; Craft Wondrous Item, Grease, Endure Elements, Daylight (Deluxe Bronzer only)
Price: 720 gp (Bronzer), 1800 gp (Deluxe Bronzer)

Bucket of Purification
Concept: Water Purifier
Category: Equipment (Held)
Activation: —
Description: This darkwood bucket (with a brass handle) can hold up to 3 gallons of liquid, although as with all buckets, it's hard to top it off without splashing or spilling any. Any liquid placed within it will slowly collect impurities, as they drift down to the bottom of the bucket. Once the liquid is chemically pure, the rim of the bucket will softly glow. At this point, all impurities will stick to the bucket's bottom. The liquid can be poured out, and then the rest - usually with the texture of a semisolid paste - can be scraped out.
The bucket takes around 1 minute to purify a typical sample of river or lakewater without too much silt in it. It will take 10 minutes to purify 3 gallons of a drink, such as wine, into distilled water. It could take an hour to raise a thin film of water to the top of a bucket of mud, and by that point much of the water will have evaporated without a lid.
The impurities will never pour with the water as long as the light remains lit, but leaving impurities in the bucket reduces its capacity over time.

Busybody's Gloves
Concept: Covert information
Category: Gear (Hands)
Activation: Standard (Manipulation)
Description: These white silk gloves are best suited for a courtier, but can fit into any upscale ensemble. Any piece of paper graped in both hands for at least a standard action is automatically read by the wearer. Even a sealed letter can be read in this fashion. If both hands grasp a stack, sheaf, book, or other arrangement with multiple pages of writing, the wearer can read one page per round.
Thanks to a Comprehend Languages spell attached to the gloves, the knowledge is imparted to the user regardless of language.

Constant Composer
Concept: Radio
Category: Equipment (Held)
Activation: Move (Manipulation)
Description: When constructed, the creator of this 4-inch teak box can imbue it with a copy of their skills in 1 to 10 instruments. A constant composer will contantly create new music using the instruments it knows, never repeating a track.
The Constant Composer has no visible features save a single dial on its top. Turned all the way to one side, it's silent. Turning the dial increases the volume, until it emits music at 70 decibels, louder than normal speech. The music it outputs is all original and created on the spot. A newly created composer sticks to its creator's favorite musical genres but given enough time, it will branch out to new musical forms and styles.
Each constant composer can be imbued with 1 to 10 instruments with which to weave its tracks. A typical creator can imbue their composers with several related instruments (such as woodwinds or stringed instruments). Constant composers that include disparate instruments may command a premium in excess of their normal price tags.
Weight: 3 lbs
Prerequisites: CL 10th; Craft Wondrous Item, Protégé, Ghostharp, 10 ranks in each perform skill associated with the instruments
Price: 8100 gp (for one instrument), 900 gp for additional instruments; 16200 gp maximum

Construction Hammer
Concept: Construction equipment
Category: Equipment (Held)
Activation: —
Description: A Construction Hammer is a construction tool. Typically 1 foot long, it looks almost like a light hammer, with a flat striking end on one side of its head and a longer piercing end on the other.
Each side of this simple light weapon deals 1 damage, and only one side can be used in a round. However, it has the unique ability that every time it strikes something with hardness, it can ignore 1 point of hardness on that object for the next 2 minutes. This means that continuous strikes at a rate of 1 per round enable it to deal its single point of damage even to an object with hardness 20.
A construction hammer never adds the wielder's strength bonus to damage. However, this also means that strikes with it can be as subtle or precise as required, and enables the wielder to work for longer periods without tiring.
Some have pointed out that it would be better named a "destruction hammer."

Continuous Canteen
Concept: Water Bottle
Category: Equipment (Held)
Activation: —
Description: This appears to be a durable canteen, with a leather exterior, a twist-off brass cap, and cleaned animal-gut watertight interior. It's more durable than it looks, with 5 hit points and 5 hardness. However, its real magic is the water it contains.
The Continuous Canteen has only a half-gallon capacity. However, as long as at least one drop of liquid remains in the canteen, it will slowly regenerate more, filling to capacity in four hours, or less if it had more water in it. If the canteen contains fluid it does not recognize as water, its magic is dormant.

Convenient Counsel
Concept: Therapist
Category: Consumable
Activation: Standard (Manipulation)
Description: A Convenient Counsel helps a creature get over mental, emotional, or psychological issues they may have.
A creature must think of a trauma, fear, poor memory, or coping behavior as they swallow this small, pink pill. The pill does not immediately erase the given issue, but will jump-start the character's recovery. A character will be able to work through their issues given time to reflect. Meditation also speeds up the process.
For examples of times, a phobia based on little lived experience (like arachnaphobia from a scary story) can be eased from a panic response to merely startling in a week; a phobia based on real trauma might take multiple months, but it is doable.
A Convenient Counsel requires the user to honestly state their issue to themselves upon use. Because of this, it only works if the user acknowledges their issue and wants to fix it.
A Convenient Counsel never applies numerical or mechanical effects. It does not give a bonus against fear effects. Its effects are larger and more general than such tactical considerations.
Convenient Counsels have a diminished impact in multiples. A second Counsel is only half as effective, a third drops to a quarter. This tolerance wears off at a rate of one per year, so one person can take one convenient counsel per year with no issue.

Creature Fence
Concept: Invisible Fence
Category: Furniture
Activation: Full-Round (Command)
Description: This well-crafted wooden box, 1 foot wide and 5 inches tall and deep, contains 4 thin steel spikes with flared heads. Too dull for any martial application, they can be driven into soft (or even hard) ground, or left standing on their heads on a floor. They can each be activated by touching them and saying the command word, and function once three are outside of the box, activated, and stationary. Multiple sets of 4 spikes can be combined into a single Creature Fence if all placed into, then withdrawn from, the same carrying box. Spikes form a perimeter with other spikes to a range of 40 feet.
An active Creature Fence will apply a charm effect on any animal inside it, either ones entering or ones inside it when it activated. Animals that fail a DC11 will save will be charmed. Those that succeed will resist the charm's effects for 24 hours, after which they will need to save once more.
A charmed animal will be less prone to leaving it, although with the proper incentive, will still do so. In addition, they view other creatures within the area as friends, making them less likely to attack other creatures, unless those creatures display hostility towards them first.
Weight: 4 lbs (Per box of 4)

Cube of Environmental Control
Concept: AC
Category: Equipment (Held), Gear (Slotless)
Activation: Standard (Manipulation)
Description: This brushed steel cube is about an inch on a side. It can be held, kept in a pocket, placed, or attached to jewelery and still function. It has a small, firm, inset button on one face with a firm, inset slider next to it. Pressing the button activates or deactivates the cube.
While the cube is on, it instantaneously changes the temperature of ambient air in a cube 10 feet to a side around it. Moving the slider from its minimum to its maximum settings will alter the set temperature from 33 to 80 degrees farenheit. This has functions in still air and a light breeze, but has less effect in a moderate breeze and no effect in a heavy breeze. Also, not only does the cube not stop energy damage, but any fire or cold damage dealt to a creature within the cube's volume renders the cube inoperative for 1 minute per point of damage suffered.

Darkandle / Darktorch
Concept: Darkness Generator
Category: Equipment
Activation: Standard (Manipulation)
Description: A Darkandle appears to be a candle made of pitch-black wax. It functions as a candle, in terms of operation and duration, but darkens its surroundings instead of lightening them. While candles normally provide 5 feet of shadowy illumination, a Darkandle turns bright illumination shadowy or erases shadowy illumination entirely.
Dark torches can be purchased for the same price. They have the same operation and duration as torches, but eliminate all light within 20 feet and lower the level of illumination within 40 feet.
Neither candles or torches can compete with the sun. In direct sunlight, a Darkandle barely darkens its surroundings (no mechanical effect) and a Darktorch lowers the light one level, for 20 feet only.

Enchanted Broom
Concept: roomba
Category: Equipment (Held)
Activation: Full-Round (Command)
Description: This broom has a four foot long, straight handle and shockingly short bristles that make it useless in nonmagical cleaning. Instead, a small compartment in the handle contains ten small black cylinders about an inch in height and diameter. When at least three are placed on the same level, the enchanted broom can be placed within their boundaries and told to clean.
The broom will move itself around its chosen area, unable to climb up or down stairs, but able to clean walls, ceilings up to 10 feet high, and tables and shelves within its space - anything it can access. The exposed areas will be free of dust, hinges oiled, surfaces shined, polish buffed. The broom can't lift items from one surface to another (for instance, putting a book onto a shelf) but can arrange items up to 100lbs on each surface (sorting books on each shelf, and moving books on the floor to the base of the bookshelf). It takes only a few minutes of upkeep per day to maintain a clean area, but could take hours to get a dirty or disused room presentable. A second command word stops it, and a third makes its boundary markers glow for easy collection. If left alone for more than a day, the broom may damage exposed surfaces with excessive buffing.

Everlasting Soap
Concept: Soap
Category: Equipment (Held)
Activation: —
Description: This bar of soap appears normal to the eye. However, it constantly regenerates its mass. As long as this soap is more than half there (1/4 lb or greater), it will repair itself to full at a rate of 1 ounce of soap per hour. Unless left soaking in water or deliberately cut or broken, it's hard for even a large family to use more than a few ounces of soap in one day.

Everlasting Tea Bag
Concept: Tea bag
Category: Equipment
Activation: —
Description: An Everlasting Tea Bag appears to be a small ball of netting containing some crinkly dried leaves, attached to a string for ease of movement. A close sniff reveals its flavor.
Each Everlasting Tea Bag has a set flavor. When placed in hot water, that flavor infuses the water like normal tea. However, an everlasting tea Bag doesn't run thin after a cup or two, and can be washed and reused endlessly. It takes time to flavor amounts of water greater than a cup, a pitcher taking several minutes.
Two other varieties of Everlasting Tea Bag are sold. The Self-Heating Tea Bag will slowly raise the temperature of the water it's in. When placed in a standard mug, it will raise the temperature 1 degree per second until reaching optimal brewing temperature, which is usually around 160-200 degrees, depending on tea variety. Larger amounts of water will take correspondingly longer to heat. The Iced Tea Bag will instead chill water at the same speed, usually to around 40 degrees, but takes two to five times as long to flavor the water.
Most flavors cost the same, but particularly rare of expensive tea bags can cost as much as double.

Eversharp Knife
Concept: Knife
Category: Equipment (Held)
Activation: —
Description: All sorts of knives can be made eversharp, but the most common are butcher's cleavers or other knives designed for meat, as they dull the fastest. Eversharp Knives function as a normal nonmagical knife, but as their name implies, they never dull. Eversharp Knives are still damaged by trauma that would normally damage a knive, such as anything capable of breaking one or bending the blade.
As masterwork tools, eversharp knives will give a +2 circumstance bonus to related food-creation checks, such as any craft, profession, or even Perform (Teppanyaki) checks that involve a lot of cutting.

Farspeaking Pad
Concept: Cell Phone
Category: Equipment (Held), Gear (Slotless)
Activation: Move (Manipulation)
Description: This is a thin rectangle, about 4 by 3 inches. Its front face has a grid of 18 buttons of varying colors in a 6×3 arrangement. By pressing the buttons, a farspeaking pad can do any of the following:
Bind one of its 12 "line" buttons to another pad; both must be present and bind to each other.
Add itself to a pad group on one of the three "group" buttons. Another pad in the group must be present.
Bind a farspeaking earring (jewelery that allows for farspeaking when the pad itself is within 10 feet).
Unbind a group, line, or earring.
Any pad can alert one of its lines or groups, causing the linked pads to softly ring. Those that answer can converse easily, able to hear each other's voice, but nothing else from their environments. Pads can't connect across planar boundaries, except transitive planes (Astral and Shadow). A more expensive variant alows interplanar communication, but all parties involved in the line or group need it for such a call to function.

Favorite Plate
Concept: Flavoring
Category: Equipment
Activation: —
Description: The first favorite plate was invented by a particularly picky sorcerer. Since then, others have created Favorite Bowls and Favorite Cups, which are identical besides their form.
Each Favorite Plate is created with a specific flavor, and imparts that flavor to food eaten from it. So long as the user considers what is on the plate food, and the substance sits on the plate (or in the bowl/cup) for at least 1 minute prior to consumption, the flavor replaces whatever flavor the previous substance had. Particularly unique or distinctive tastes may take longer to infuse, especially in larger dishes, but only those with refined palates will care about the difference after the first minute.
The sorcerer hated his invention, when he realized it didn't change texture.

Figurine of Wondrous Power, Servants
Concept: Waitstaff
Category: Equipment
Activation: Standard (Command)
Description: Unless otherwise noted, the following Figurines of Wondrous Power can be used once per day and last for two hours. They all summon humanoids (most often humans) with 10 in every ability. A figurine obeys its summoner and retains its memories from previous animations, but has no awareness as a statue. They come dressed for their station, and can't change as their clothes are part of their body. Wondrous Servants flee from any combat. All Wondrous Servants speak common, and many speak additional languages, which are chosen on creation, and can't be a secret language like Druidic.
Laborer: A commoner 1 with no skill ranks.
Butler: Expert 1 with 4 ranks in Knowledge (Nobility and Royalty), Diplomacy, and Profession (Housekeeper), and two additional languages known.
Cook: A literate Commoner 1 with 4 ranks in Profession (Chef) and one additional language known.
Housekeeper: A literate Commoner 1 with 4 ranks in Profession (Housekeeper) and one additional language known.
Scribe: Expert 1 with 4 ranks in Appraise, 2 ranks in Decipher Script, 2 ranks in Forgery, 4 ranks in Profession (Scribe), and two additional languages known.

Flask of Endless Booze
Concept: Hip Flask
Category: Equipment (Held)
Activation: —
Description: This steel hip flask is engraved with intricate runes. When opened and poured, it produces a specific type of beverage decided upon its creation, most commonly a type of alcohol. A single flask can only produce 8 gallons or 20 GP of its chosen beverage per day, whichever is lower. Further upending of the flask will produce nothing until the following dawn. This price is based on the price of the materials used to manufacture the flask. This means that if manufactured in a country famous for its plentiful vineyards, it can be created with discounted wines and potentially produce more wine each day.

Food Station
Concept: replicator
Category: Furniture
Activation: Standard (Command)
Description: This piece of furniture is a marble plinth three feet tall and one foot wide and deep. Its only apparent markings are a button on one side, near the top, and a circle of runes on its top face.
Pressing the button and then speaking the name of a food or drink causes a single serving of the desired foodstuff to appear atop the plinth, within a common but sturdy clay cup, bowl, plate, or other dish capable of holding it. The request can include a temperature, between 32° and 140°F. If the request did not specify a temperature, this food is as hot or cold as as is customary for the item in question. The maximum weight of a single item, not counting dishes, is 1lb. Some dishes will appear separated, in multiple smaller dishes.
One hour after their creation, the conjured dishes wink instantly from existence, spilling any food still on them. The food itself will go bad in 1 day if not otherwise preserved.

Framed Painting
Concept: Portraiture
Category: Furniture
Activation: Standard (Command)
Description: This sturdy ash frame, three feet to a side, looks like it should be hanging around a portrait of some minor noble in a castle somewhere. Instead, it's totally empty.
When a person holds the frame (usually at arm's length) and says a command word, the frame fills in with a picture. The picture is a perfect reproduction of whatever the holder could see through the frame as they spoke the command word.
The frame is decently sturdy (5 hardness, 5 hit points), but if the picture inside is dealt any damage, it pops like film of soap. If anybody speaks the command word while touching the center of the picture, it also disappears. Either way, the frame can again be reused.

Category: Equipment
Activation: Standard (Manipulation)
Description: This small wooden box has a wheel built into one thin edge, with three radial blades separating the wheel into three compartments. It is otherwise unornamented. If shaken, items within it rattle.
When the wheel is spun, the next revealed compartment contains a small white capsule. If eaten, it tasts minty, and will give the eater's breath a fresh and pleasing odor for several minutes. These capsules can never provide sustenance, and disappear in 2 rounds if not consumed. If being eaten, they don't disappear.
A freshbox can only generate 20 capsules per day.
Use of a freshbox may grant a +2 circumstance bonus to rare charisma-based rolls.

Gaming Table
Concept: Tabletop Simulator
Category: Furniture
Activation: Standard (Command)
Description: A user need only command this table and it will construct all the tools and pieces needed to play a game of their choice, with limits. Items created will last only the duration of the game, up to 24 hours; the items disappear if they ever move more than 10 feet from the table; items aren't particularly sturdy and can't have fine detail; and items can't include any form of text. A single game can't require more than 5 lbs of items, any expensive materials, or any items larger than Small.
Besides those limits, the table will instantiate the pieces required to make a game work. It requires that the user commanding the table understand the game and what is required to play it, as the process of commanding the table allows the table to skim some of those thoughts and memories from the user's mind. In this way, the same gaming table can be sold in different cultures and adapt to their games and leisure activities.
A significantly more expensive version of the Gaming Table is an intelligent magic item. In addition to memorizing the pieces for dozens of games, it also knows their rules and can help move pieces as called for. (LN; 14/10/14; speaks Common and two other languages; 10 ranks in Knowledge (Games), continuous Dancing Lights to facilitage games and theatrics.)

Gardener's Gloves
Concept: Gardening tools
Category: Gear (Hands)
Activation: Standard (Command)
Description: These stitched leather gloves tend to be dyed in various off-green colors. They enable their user to perform two tasks, both with living, noncreature plants:
First, the user can use their Gardener's Gloves to sculpt plants. By simply pressing their hands into vegetation such as a bush, they can prune away areas they don't like. While this can remove bushes, even thornbushes, quickly, it takes longer to remove or shorten even small branches or other pieces of wood. 10 to 20 minutes of sculpting can cut through the trunk of a moderate tree.
Second, the user can Flatten grasses. As a standard action, they may point both palms at the ground and utter a command word. This causes the grass in a single 5-foot square to shrink. It reduces the tallest blades of grass by 1 inch, and any grass that would be taller is shrunk to the same length. Multiple uses can further tidy and unify the grass length. This works on even long grass, although it may take many uses to get it orderly.

Category: Equipment
Activation: Standard (Command)
Description: This slab of dark stone is one foot square and about 1 inch deep. Its top has a thin border of white arcane runes chiseled around it.
When the command word is spoken, the runes glow with a soft light. Thereafter, anything metal put into contact with the hotrock's top rapidly heats up. A metal pot of room-temperature water reaches boiling in one to two minutes. Speaking the command word a second time cancels the heat.
Attended metals may make a saving throw (DC13) to resist the heat. Metal that saves remains unheated unless the hotrock is removed (or turned off) and then reapplied.
The other sides of the hotrock have no special properties.

Description: An Icebox is a large metal-and-wooden container with a hinged opening on the top or side, depending on its make.
Iceboxes can be found in multiple sizes. The smallest iceboxes are about two feet to a side and weigh 10 lbs empty. Larger iceboxes can be up to four feet wide and deep, and ten feet tall. These larger iceboxes are generally installed in buildings.
Iceboxes also come in multiple temperatures. The two most common temperatures are just above freezing (34°F), and well below it (around 0°F).
Iceboxes are used primarily to arrest the spoilage of foodstuffs, but have some other uses.
Iceboxes are so well insulated that they are barely cool to the touch when closed. If left open, they equalize their temperature with their surroundings over a few mintues.

Insectbane Canister
Concept: Bug Spray
Category: Equipment
Activation: Standard (Command)
Description: One round after the command word is spoken, this small cylinder emits a poisonous fog. This fog will fill up the room it's in, or up to a 20×20×20' space, whichever is smaller. It's dispersed by even a light wind. It also infuses the walls of the room in which it's placed, penetrating inside of them, although not out the other side. The fog lasts for 5 rounds (30 seconds), after which it dissipates within 1 round.
Creatures within the area take 1D3 damage per round, although they may make a fortitude save (DC 11) to halve that damage, minimum 0. A non-mindless creature can hold its breath to gain a +10 bonus on its saves.
Many mindless or low-intelligence creatures are unable to determine the source of the gas and flee from it properly. Swarms, notably, will suffer damage for every creature of the swarm within the area, making them particularly vulnerable to the Insectbane Canister.
An Insectbane Canister can only be used once.

Activation: Full-Round (Command)
Description: This rectangular mechanical contraption, about 1 foot wide and 4 inches tall and deep, has a scope-like viewport through the center of its body horizontally, and a pair of rollers on top leading through the chassis vertically. When a button beside the viewport is pressed, the rollers spin, and if there's a piece of paper, parchment, or other object thinner than 0.08 inches (2mm) stuck into the top of the rollers, it will be fed through the device and the image visible through the viewport will be imprinted on it. The rollers can accept a material up to 11 inches wide, and will always draw a square, adjusting the size for smaller mediums, although if the medium's shape is irregular the printing will be incomplete or flawed. The printing is rendered as though by a skilled painter, and can be easily smudged in the first ten minutes until the inks dry. In addition, moving or jostling the Instant Artist during the full round it takes the paper to feed through the rollers will result in the top of the painting not matching the bottom.

Category: Furniture

Description: This sweets jar allows people to leave each other messages. Despite the name, the "sweets" can also be found in cherry, coffee, mint, and other flavors.
This jar has a button on its front and a small flap on the back. To use it, anybody can press the button and speak a message of up to 25 words. This causes a candy to move from the upper receptacle into a lower chamber, accessible to the flap. Anybody can reach into the back and pop a sweet into their mouth, which will cause the message recorded on that sweet to play in their head exactly as it was said. If multiple messages were left since the Messaging Sweets jar was checked, it's difficult to know the order.
Because the button and flap are on opposite ends, Sweets jars are sometimes built into doors or walls to take messages while absent.

Nchaser's Fluorescence
Concept: Light
Category: Furniture
Activation: Move (Manipulation)
Description: The Mage Nchaser invented this form of clean, constant indoor light. It doesn't flicker like a flame and, in fact, its light has a bluer hue than the sun. One fluorescence gives 20 feet of bright illumination, lighting a 20x20x10 room if placed in its center, or more if the shields are removed (but that can hurt the eyes).
Nchaser's Fluorescence is normally sold as a standing lamp with a polished metal shield to deflect the light into and off of the ceiling to light the area, but other forms exist: It can be purchased as a desk lamp with a flexible, aimable neck, or installed in a room's ceiling as an architectural fixture, with its control mounted to a wall.
Each form has a single control point: A dial that totally disables the light at one end, and turns brightness to maximum on the other.

Notebook of Memorization

Activation: Standard (Command)
Description: This is an ordinary book, usually far less fancy than a typical spellbook, although of course ostentatious versions can be made. It confers special powers to its owner (the last person to speak its command word while touching it.) A Notebook of Memorization has 100 pages, each about 6 by 8 inches.
As long as a Notebook of Memorization is open, its owner can read whatever pages are open. They can read two facing pages this way, and can do so near-instantaneously, effectively as though they have the words memorized. This can be used to read a speech, appear smarter, or even communicate across long distances. Although, if using it to convery messages, the owner will need to remember to "look" mentally at the notebook every once in a while.
Connecting to one Notebook of Memorization severs any connections with other notebooks. A user cannot read notebooks across planar boundaries. The magical inks required to record spells do not function through this connection.

Description: This brown mahogany rectangle (1 foot wide, 8 inches tall, 2 inches thick) has buttons and dials on its front. When the correct button is pressed, it starts emitting music. Ten buttons on the device's right side can change the music to ten different genres. The left side, in addition to the on/off button, contains buttons for increasing or decreasing the volume of the music being played. Each genre of music contains approximately 1 week of unique music before it repeats a piece. Most include genres such as opera, folk (with lyre accompaniment), and hymns of the creator's religion, but there is plenty of variation.
A variant of the Portable Symphony, the Personal Symphony, consists of two mythral rings, which can be lodged harmlessly in the user's outer ears. Once there, each button can be emulated by a series of taps on the ring, requiring a move action. These ones play music loud enough for only the user to hear clearly.

Category: Architecture
Activation: Standard (Command) (Several minutes to apply)
Description: One vial of Presti-Paint is enough to solidly cover a 10'×10' area of wall. Presti-Paint appears solid black and has two magical properties when applied.
First, Presti-Paint is hard to dirty. Once applied, the paint resist dirt and smudges of all kinds, remaining clean unless a concerted effort is made to soil it.
Second, if a drop of a creature's blood is mixed into the vial before application, that person becomes able to control that wall's color. By touching the wall and saying a command word, they can set the wall's color to anything between white and black, with many varying hues; 256 colors in all, although many are indistinguishably light or dark. They can also use the command to adjust the existing color by brightness ("two shades darker") or hue ("two shades more red"). Contiguous areas of Presti-Paint that share an owner can be commanded in one action.
Up to two creatures can mix their blood into a vial. If given too many masters, the paint is unable to follow any commands, although it remains black and still resists dirt.

Privacy Shield

Activation: Standard (Command)
Description: This rune-inscribed steel rectangular prism measures six inches to a side on its base and one foot tall, but due to its wiry construction, it weighs only 2 lbs. The steel wires are bent and fitted together, interlocking into arcane runes. It has hardness 10 and 10 hit points.
On command, the Privacy Shield emits a mist into its square and the above square (5'×5'×10'). The round it's commanded and the following round, this mist is too thin to have any mechanical effect. Thereafter, lt limits visibility: Creatures standing in the square of mist can see only 5' outside of it (and those they can see have partial concealment), and only creatures within 5' can see in, with the same haze and restrictions. Obviously, a mysterious cube of mist is hardly inconspicuous, so this makes a poor hiding place. It's usually used to disguise not a person, but an activity that person is performing.
A moderate wind (over 10 mph) disperses the fog within 1 round. If not dispersed, it lasts for 5 minutes or until the Privacy Shield is activated again in a different square.
Privacy shields can also be manufactured for large creatures. They cover a 10'×10'×20' volume.

To use a Prompt Precept, the user can clutch it and focus on a specific book of holy doctrine for their faith that they have at least a passing familiarity with. Then, they roll (or take 10 on) a DC15 wisdom check. However, they may add their ranks in Knowledge (Religion). Success writes the concents of the chosen holy book into the Prompt Precept, until 24 hours pass or the contents are again overwritten. The user must have some level of knowledge of the book itself, but divine energy write the individual words and fill in gaps.
Anybody attempting to fool a Prompt Precept can make a charisma or Use Magic Device check instead of the above wisdom check. However, they must still have some knowledge of the book they are attempting to emulate.

First, the wearer is automatically protected from rain, snow, sand, dust, and other flying particulate weighing under 0.1oz (300mg). The particles will simply curve away from the wearer 6 inches to 1 foot from their clothing or skin.
Second, the wearer's temperature will be controlled. As long as the ambient temperature is warm (60° F to 90° F), this does nothing. Otherwise, it will move the temperature of air within 6 inches of the wearer one temperature band closer to warm (about 20-30°).
The Rain Hat's protective aura also protects against harmful rays of the sun, preventing sunburns and skin diseases caused by natural sunlight. It does not protect eyes or vision from bright light, however.

The tome is activated by Pressing a sheet of nonmagical paper, which can be a standalone sheet or a page from another tome, onto a page of the Record Book, then speaking a command word. The page of the Record Book will instantly and perfectly copy the text pressed against it. If the paper pressed against the book is larger, the image in the book will shrink, but the book's user can use two fingers to enlarge and pan around it; this view is reset any time the book is closed or the page turned. A second command word will cause the currently open page to faintly glow. Stating that command word again will erase it.
The Record Book can't magically copy pages back out, although any pages ripped from the tome lose their magic and continue to display their current contents.

The creature is instantly cleaned, from the sweat on their brow to the dirt on their shoes. Mud, blood, and even makeup and hair products all vanish from the subject and their clothing, which will flatten themselves as though recently washed and pressed. Only the truly most soiled targets would face issue: A single refreher can't clean more than 2 lbs of matter from its target, so somebody who slipped down a muddy ravine could require multiple refreshers to get clean. If a refresher finishes cleaning a subject and hasn't exhausted its magic, its remaining cleaning power will dry them.
People using refreshers often report being invogorated or energized by them. Rather than magical, this is throught to be a psychological reaction.

They can take along up to four willing touching creatures, and each can carry up to their maximum load in nonliving items. Once used, the magic is lost. If the white ticket stub is not intact or not on the same plane, the teleport fails.

Description: This looks like a normal sparker: Flint and steel set on a hinge, that can light fires as a standard action. However, it has two important differences.
First, a safe sparker has unlimited uses. It and its components never need replacing due to use, although they are fragile (2 HP, with hardness 0).
Second, fires started by a Safe Sparker always have an "anchor," which is whatever piece of flammable material was touched by the first spark. Fires started by a Safe Sparker can't spread more than 5 feet from their Anchor, and if any of the fire is moved out of this range (or the anchor is moved) that piece will extinguish. A fire that merges with a fire started in any other way loses all safeties.
Fires started by a Safe Sparker always burn out within 12 hours, even if one second earlier they're roaring flames.

Seat of your Pants
Concept: Chair
Category: Gear (Slotless)
Activation: Move (Manipulation)
Description: These elegant, tapered pants are made of a shiftweave-darkweave blend and fit in at almost any occasion. When the wearer bends at the waist in a sitting motion, the bottom of the pants support them with the power of raw force, even distributing some weight to parts of the back for comfort. This "chair" is stationary and ends when the wearer moves off of it. It supports 300 lbs, slowly sinking to the ground if tasked with more. More expensive versions can support more weight, a necessity if building pants for larger-sized creatures.
Seat of Your Pants can be combined with Thaumaturgical Threads at cost.
Weight: Varies (usually —)
Prerequisites: CL 1st; Craft Wondrous Item, Tenser's Floating Disk
Price: 675 gp (for 300lbs; add 225 per 100 lbs). Add 100 gp for thaumaturgical thread.

Self-Cleaning Chamber
Concept: Custodian
Category: Wondrous Architecture
Activation: —
Description: The stronghold space enchanted with Self-Cleaning never gets dirty. This doesn't apply to anything heavier than a leaf or stray stalk of straw. However, dirt, dust, sand, and any similar detritus will slowly vanish from the area. Even liquid spills will dry with no trace. After things are cleaned, their smell vanishes.
This enchantment is not powerful, not is it perfect. Large deposits of waste, such as piles of dirt, will remain untouched. Any damage done by the detritus will remain, such as chemical damage, or water damage done by spills. The enchantment won't clean anything too close to a living being, even a spiderweb, so long as it contains a live spider.

Sheets of Comfort
Concept: Extra-comfy bed
Category: Furniture / Equipment
Activation: Full-Round (Manipulation)
Description: This magic is most commonly attached to sheets, but can be used on a bedroll. Anybody that climbs into these sheets feels immense comfort and can fall asleep with no effort. In addition, once per 24-hour period, they may gain the benefits of a full night of sleep (elimination of fatigue, healing of damage, refreshment of spells) in only one hour. Spells cast in the last 8 hours count against daily limits as normal. Multiple creatures may use the sheets if they are comfortable sleeping close together.
Each set of Sheet/Bedroll of Comfort comes with two specially marked glass vials. Should the user place one of these vials within 5 feet before they fall asleep, they will sleep for 2 hours instead of 1. However, when they awake, the vial will be filled with on application of Ambrosia, a precious fluid that can be consumed, used as a spell component, or used to help create magic items. Anybody with a steady hand (over 10 Dexterity) or a relevant skill (concentration, or a craft or profession skill requiring similar care) can transfer the ambrosia to a more mundane container. One set of Sheets can make only 1 dose of ambrosia per 24 hours.

Square Meal
Concept: MRE
Category: Consumable
Activation: Standard (Command)
Description: This appears to be a square of cloth with embroidered images of a plate of food, a mug of drink, and a set of utensils. However, placing it on any solid surface and stating the command word causes it to revert to the real food depicted in the embroidery. After that point, all of the items are nonmagical, meaning that the cutlery and dishes remain after the food is eaten.
Square Meals start cheap, for bland but filling rations, but more expensive Square Meals can be found containing fancier food and real silverware. While the price below covers meals typical of a noble, a feast for royalty could easily cost twice as much.

Prerequisites: CL 1st; Craft Wondrous Item, Shrink Item

Stamp of Authenticity
Concept: Stamp
Category: Equipment (Held)
Activation: Full-Round (Manipulation)
Description: This stamp, typically a circle two or three inches in diameter, comes with its own tie-on cover. When pressed against anything for a full round, it leaves a visible mark. Each Stamp is manufactured with a specific design and color, typically unique.
Any creature stamped this way can resist the mark taking hold (Fort DC 10), but even if marked, the mark fades from living flesh in a week. A Stamp of Authenticity behaves in may ways like an Arcane Mark, but it's the stamp's mark rather than the user's, so they can't use spells like Instant Summons with it.
The prices below assume a custom or unique stamp. Stamps can be purchased secondhand at a discount (usually around 20%), but the buyer may need to do research to check if the design is in use elsewhere. Many of these stamps are mass-produced by universities and libraries to mark their goods and stock.

Storage Shelf
Concept: Warehouse
Category: Furniture
Activation: Standard (Manipulation)
Description: This six-foot tall maplewood ladder bookshelf contains five shelves, each four feet long and six inches deep.
As a creature reaches out to place an item on one of the shelves, the item shrinks as it nears the shelf, finally reaching the shelf's surface having shrunk 4 size categories, losing most of its weight. However, no item shrinks so small that its largest dimension is under 1 inch, and items this small already don't shrink further. As an item is removed from a shelf, it grows to its original size and weight. Each of the five shelves can hold up to 100 items before the magic is stretched too thin to shink more. Colossal items and most gargantuan items won't fit on the shelves, even shrunk.
Moving items on and off of a Storage Shelf can be tricky, especially to those not used to the process. Somebody not used to the shelf placing or removing medium or larger items requires a balance check (DC12) or the user may be unbalanced by the weight change, dropping the item or injuring themselves. Furthermore, even when a gargantuan item is flat enough (under 16 feet tall) that it can fit onto one of the shelves, failing a DC 20 balance check may result in knocking the entire shelf over, with potentially disastrous results.
Weight: 40 lbs

Tarot Deck
Concept: "Real" augury
Category: Equipment (Held)
Activation: 5 minutes (Manipulation)
Description: This deck has 78 cards with elaborate and portentious pictograms, and can be used to predict the future in some limited ways. By dealing cards and interpreting their meanings, a fortune teller can uncover cryptic hints of the near future. Hints come in many forms, but are often cryptic.
A tarot deck can be used in one of two ways: To gain a minor edge, or to foretell a result. If used to gain an edge, the teller decides on a single type of save or check (a single save, skill, or non-skill ability check, but not an attack) to gain an edge for. A successful tarot reading grants a +1 insight bonus to the first such check the character makes within the next hour. A failed reading confers no penalty.
If used to foretell a result, treat the Tarot Deck as a casting of Augury, but with the chances of success modified to use the skill check below.
Over the course of 5 minutes, a character deals out cards for themselves or a willing ally, and makes a profession (Fortune Teller) check. The Tarot deck's chance of working is (55 + the check result)%, to maximum of 90%.
A Tarot Deck can read up to three fortunes per day, but can only read any one person once per day.
Weight: 1/2 lb (including waterproof box)

Thaumaturgical Threads
Concept: Designer clothes
Category: Gear
Activation: —
Description: Thaumaturgical threads come in many varieties, but are always well-crafted and tend to reflect current styles. Despite the name, even non-thread clothing can be enchanted in this way, such as footwear.
Thaumaturgical threads are sturdy for clothing, with 1 point of hardness above the standard for their materials and make (most clothing has a hardness of 0). They also resist passive damage and don't easily lose their colors when washed.
Thaumaturgical threads are supernaturally comfortable. Anybody wearing one or more items of thaumaturgical thread in their item slots (hats, shirts, robes, boots, belts, gloves, etc.) gains a circumstance bonus to saves against pain and discomfort equal to that number. Other magical items in those body slots will take priority. For instance, somebody wearing a thaumaturgical shirt and thaumaturgical socks will get a +2 bonus to these saves, but if they put on some Boots of Elvenkind, the bonus drops to 1, as the socks make way for the boots' benefit. Items worn in non-slot locations (such as shorts) also provide no bonus, but are still comfortable and easy to wear.
Wearing more than one visible thaumaturgical thread item grants a bonus to diplomacy checks among the rich and/or fashion conscious, as a masterwork tool. Wearing only a single item isn't enough for the full ensemble effect.
Weight: Varies (usually —)

Price: 100 gp (plus cost of base item, if above 1 gp)

Traveler's Suitcase
Concept: Newt's suitcase
Category: Equipment
Activation: Standard (Manipulation)
Description: From the outside, this is a sturdy, rectangular leather suitcase, about 2'6"×2', and 8" deep. However, opening it reveals a hole in one side, with a 10-foot ladder leading down it. The suitcase is actually a portal to an extradimensional living space the size of a large (4500 square feet) house, like one owned by a wealthy merchant or a minor noble. The main (entry) floor has a dining room, kitchen, half bath, closet, and large room for relaxing and socializing; the upper floor has a closet, full bath, 6 standard bedrooms (10×10 feet including closet), and a master suite including a second full bath; the bottom floor has training and exercise rooms, storage rooms, and a servant's suite including three smaller bedrooms and another full bath. The kitchen and bathrooms all have working plumbing, and every room in the Suitcase has "windows" that let in a soft, omnidirectional sunlight to brighten up the building. The Suitcase stays at 70 degrees at all times unless its occupants work to change that. The house never stays dusty or dirty, with visible mud, stains, or other imperfections fading over time.
Part of the enchantment ensures that the kitchen cupboards and attached pantry are stocked at all times with basic edible foodstuffs and ingredients, so even the most untrained will be able to survive off of the provided food, but true variety will require either bringing food in from outside, extensive or creative preparation of the provided ingredients, or a combination of the two.
If placed into an antimagic field or suppressed via a Dispelling effect, the Traveler's Suitcase becomes an ordinary suitcase, its occupants unable to use the ladder to leave. If Disjoined or destroyed, all occupants are shunted forcefully from the suitcase, landing in the nearest open spaces that support them, and the suitcase will continue to erratically spurt belongings, food, or broken pieces of furniture over the next week, until it's empty, its magic extinguished.
Other layouts exist, but the one provided above is a common one.
Weight: 20 lbs

Waste Bin
Concept: Garbage can
Category: Furniture
Activation: —
Description: These clay pots typically 12" to 18" tall, with an opening of a similar diameter. They're most often found painted white, with small vines, flowers, or other plants painted on them; particularly fancy or unusual designs may cost more.
Nonliving organic material placed in these bins won't smell, nor will it attract flies or other vermin. Instead, it will sowly break down into a dark, compostable paste usable in gardens. Inorganic materials in the bin will be untouched by this process. A small hatch at the bottom can be opened to access the compost, even when fresh food waste is placed on top.
One waste bin will break down food scraps fast enough to comfortably handle the food waste from a family of five.

Water Mattress
Concept: Waterbed
Category: Furniture
Activation: Standard (Command)
Description: This bed rests on an elegant, stained mahogany base held together with inset steel. The base is two feet off the ground and, like the bed, is most commonly found in size "King:" 7'×6'6".
The base itself contains the magic. When water is poured atop it, the water collects without spilling as though walled in, not even a single drop leaking away. Solids and even other liquids will rest atop of this layer of water, depressing or deforming it according to its weight but never entering it or getting wet. A Water Mattress can hold water up to 1 foot high, although for reasons of weight, most are filled approximately half as much. Disturbing or "splashing" a Water Mattress will not spill it. Once a Mattress is full, further water will slide off the top.
A Water Mattress has three controls built into its base. The first requires it to be depressed for a full minute while chanting a command word. At the end of the minute, the Base's magic dismisses itself, spilling all of the water and not holding more until the process is reversed. The second is a simple dial. Moving it back and forth will cause the Water Mattress to change firmness, from 1 (as soft as a sack of water) to 12 (as soft as packed earth). The third is a dial for temperature, changing the Mattress water's temperature from 40° to 90°, although a full Mattress can only change 1° every 5 minutes (partially filled Mattresses change proportionally faster).
Weight: 50 lbs (base only); 1550 lbs (typical fill), 3050 lbs (maximum fill)
Prerequisites: CL 1st; Craft Wondrous Item, Control Water, Control Temperature
