Artisan’s Refuge
Wondrous Item, rare (requires attunement by an artificer, wizard, or craftsperson-type character)
Description:
This well-worn leather suitcase is surprisingly heavy and reinforced with brass corners. When set down and opened fully, the interior reveals not clothes or tools, but a swirling shimmer of arcane energy.
Function:
As an action, the attuned user can step into the suitcase, vanishing from the Material Plane and entering the Refuge — a 20x20-foot magically sustained extra-dimensional workshop.
Inside the Refuge:
-
Style: The room appears exactly how the user imagines their perfect workspace — metallic benches, wood-paneled study, forge heat, glass garden, or whatever fits their ideal workshop.
-
Storage Space: Includes a magical container holding up to 250 pounds of non-living materials, accessible only from within the Refuge.
Usage Rules:
-
Only the attuned user can enter or exit the Refuge. No other creatures may enter by any means.
-
The attuned user can enter or exit the Refuge as a bonus action while adjacent to the suitcase.
-
The Refuge fits up to 1 Medium creature (the attuned user) only.
-
The Refuge cannot be summoned in areas where extradimensional magic is blocked (e.g., antimagic fields or overlapping effects like Mordenkainen's Magnificent Mansion).
-
If the suitcase is destroyed or closed while the user is inside, the Refuge ejects them unharmed to the nearest open space.
Flavor:
Wizards call it a “pocket sanctum.” Artificers call it “home base.” To anyone else, it’s just a heavy old suitcase. Until it isn’t.
