Portable Hole
Description
The Portable Hole is quite possibly one of the most unusual, useful and potentially powerful magical creations found on the material plane. It is a non dimensional space that can fit in the palm of the hand, and fold out to the size of a large, expansive pit. It is made of a soft black material, always weightless. A creative individual could use this item to great effect in a multitude of situations, due to the item's amazing ability to create a hole on virtually any surface. As it is a non dimensional space, however, anyone using it should exercise caution in applying its powers on another magical effect that involves dimensional manipulation...
Lore
This extraordinary dimensional cloth was first discovered by accident. An ambitious mage was simply looking to fashion for himself a cloak that would allow him to travel between dimensions with ease. A mistake in his calculations instead found him trapped inside his own cape after donning it! Fortunately his apprentice was able to rescue him before he suffocated inside the folds of the device. Soon after they decided that the strange anomaly would serve better as a tool rather than a piece of clothing.
Creatures and Limited Air
A portable hole has about 785 cubic ft of space within it. A quick estimate is that a medium sized creature generally occupies 2-3 cubic feet of space, and a small creature takes up roughly half as much.
Breathing humanoids at rest typically exhaust 1/4 their volume of air per moment (ie. ~0.75 cubic foot per moment for a big human). This means that a human left within an otherwise empty portable hold will suffocate in about 44 hours.
