Limitations of Retrieve Item Spell


Rules Questions


I was looking over the Retrieve Item spell today, and noticed that it's duration is permanent. So consider this example: a wizard who spends most of his time in his tower casts this spell once every day until he has affected every small item in the tower (including spell components, specially shaped potions, especially short wands, etc). Now, instead of ever memorizing this spell again, he can freely recall any of these items into a free hand by saying the right word (as long as they are within 400 + 40 feet/level).

This doesn't seem overpowered or anything, since the size restriction is so stringent (1 pound, no dimension over 6 inches). I just want to make sure that I'm thinking about this right, and the demand it could create for special, tiny wizard objects like wands and potions.

Retrieve Item: "Duration: permanent until discharged"

He can recall each item once.

Right, so after using it on a particular item, he would have to cast the spell again. Clearly for emergencies, not convenience.
