Description: The Pentacle Purse of Quandary is a rare item that allows its owner to always have exactly the amount of money needed for a personal transaction. The Purse always knows of the need and will fulfill it. It it the requisite duty of the user however to not try to lie as it can read your thoughts. It is for personal use by that character and no one else. If that person dies or it is stolen, it acts like an ordinary purse.
Before a player can activate, at least 10% of however much they wish to spend plus an object of equal mass to the maximum amount of the money they wish to spend must placed inside of the Purse. It only takes the Purse an hour to process the material placed inside of it. After that, the money inside can be used.
At least 1 gold must be placed inside of the purse every day in order for it to keep its magical properties. For each day missed, the user must double that amount, and it stacks over time (ie. after 3 days it takes 4 gold, and at four days it takes 8 and so on). Also, the gold placed in the Purse must come from a source other than the Purse; it cannot be used to replenish itself.
In order to activate, merely the intention and thought of the prospective transaction needs to be thought of. If it is opened and the money is not spent, it will break and be rendered usable. The Purse give out exact money ONLY.
The purse is meant to be unassuming and thus it is made to look like nothing more than a coin purse with either an interlocking lip or even a drawstring pouch. It may have the name of the bearer embroidered, but it is not meant to be flashy in any way.


This item is pretty sweet but it reminded me of something...
Like too many mediums using this particular gimmick. On first glance the item is pretty baller. But as I just let my niece watch Winnie the Pooh, I noticed this item was JUST like the hole in his pocket from that crazy episode. That and a few other sources that use the "transportable hole" device. Normally a spell in can has it's merits, but this one seems to have taken away from too many to be original. Not a fave.
