Bag Of Wild Gems

Wondrous Item, rare

Inside this heavy cloth bag are 15 green gemstones. The bag weighs 1/2 pound plus 1/4 pound for each gemstone it contains. Each gemstone contains the magical chaos akin to a sorcerer's wild magic surge.

As an action, the bearer may remove a single gemstone and either crush it or throw it at another character within 90 feet. Breaking a gemstone releases the magic inside, and the DM will roll on the modified wild magic surge table below. Effects which target one character target the closest creature/player to the gem when it breaks. Spells use the acting character's charisma for DC checks.

Gems removed from the bag retain their magical properties for one hour. After that point the magic diffuses and an imperfect malachite gem (1 gp) remains.

When the last gem is removed, roll a d20. For 2 - 20, that number of gemstones re-materializes in the bag. For 1, the bag loses all magical properties, and now contains 10d100 gold coins.

While it contains at least one gemstone, the bag may be used as a spell focus for any magic user.
