Looks like: A plain leather sack with faded runes stitched in beige thread and a faint scent of burnt parchment.
This frumpy, oversized sack hums with strange anti-magic energy. Though it appears similar to a Bag of Holding, the Bag of Mundane doesn’t store things—it downgrades them. Created by a wizard who lost everything in a bad gamble with a Deck of Many Things, it is a tool of magical suppression and chaos.
The Bag of Mundane can suppress or permanently strip the magic from objects placed inside it. However, the process is wildly unstable and can lead to dangerous or unintended side effects.
Item Properties
Use:
-
As an action, you can place one non-living item into the Bag and speak the command word: “Dullify.”
-
The bag then attempts to render the item mundane, removing magical properties.
-
Roll a d100 and consult the following table:
| d100 | Effect |
|---|---|
| 01–40 | Item loses all magical effects for 1d4 hour. |
| 41–79 | Item loses all magical effects for 1d4 days. |
| 80–89 | Item becomes mundane permanently while in the bag. |
| 90–95 | The bag absorbs the magic, rendering the item mundane, but creating a residual effect (see below). |
| 96–100 | The item resists the change and becomes cursed (DM’s discretion). |
Residual Magic Effects
Triggered on 90–95 result. Roll 1d6.
| d6 | Residual Effect |
|---|---|
| 1 | The next item placed in the bag gains a minor random magical effect for 24 hours. |
| 2 | A Wild Magic Surge erupts in a 10 ft. radius (roll on Wild Magic table). |
| 3 | A spirit tied to the lost magic emerges (DM's Discretion). |
| 4 | A glowing rune appears on the bag. If 3 runes accumulate, the bag becomes sentient (see upgrade below). |
| 5 | The bag emits a wave of healing. All creatures within 10 ft. regain 2d10 HP. |
| 6 | The bag becomes inert and cannot be used again for 1d4 days. During this time, its mouth is sealed shut. |
Cursed Outcome (96–100)
The magic fights back. Roll or choose from the following:
-
The item becomes cursed: e.g., it cannot be dropped, compels the user to hoard it, or whispers at night.
-
The user is cursed: disadvantage on saving throws against magic for 24 hours.
-
The bag develops a new curse: all future rolls on the d100 table are made at disadvantage.
Attempting to “Dullify” a legendary/artifact causes one of the following (DM chooses or rolls):
| d6 | Artifact Interaction |
|---|---|
| 1 | The Bag is destroyed in an explosion. All within 30 ft. take 6d10 force damage. |
| 2 | The artifact resists and curses the user (e.g., permanent loss of 1d4 max HP, blindness, etc.). |
| 3 | The Bag becomes an artifact-hungry mimic, growing teeth and attacking. |
| 4 | The magic is absorbed, and the bag begins gestating a new godling. |
| 5 | The Bag successfully renders it mundane, but only for 1d100 hours, after which it awakens stronger. |
| 6 | The artifact vanishes—teleported to a random plane or vault. The bag begins whispering its name... |
