A simple, well-made leather bag measuring 10 inches wide, tall, and deep and weighing 2 pounds. A small number of them, around 5%, are much larger, being 48 inches long, 24 inches wide, and deep, and these weigh 20 pounds. The bag is linked to a teleportation circle, and when items are placed inside and the drawstrings are pulled closed, the items in the bag are teleported, on target, to that teleportation circle. Any items placed inside the bag must also fit completely inside the bag. If the bag can't be fully closed for any reason, its magic will not be activated.
To link the bag with a teleportation circle or change its destination to another circle, the bag must be taken to that circle and have a teleport spell cast on it. Once the spell is cast, the runes on the circle will glow brightly for a moment, and the bag will absorb the spell, completing the link between the bag and the circle. If a teleport spell is cast on the bag without standing on a teleport circle, a random circle on the user's plane of existence will be chosen. There is no way, even through the use of a wish spell, to affect or determine which teleportation circle will be linked to the bag.
When a bag of teleporting is found, it is initially indistinguishable from a normal bag. Users might mistakenly think it’s a bag of devouring, as the items inside disappear. There is no simple way to learn where items are being teleported, though spells such as divination, contact other plane, or scrying, can be useful at finding the location. Bags of teleporting are sought by thieves who want to avoid getting caught with stolen treasure and by sages who use them for sending messages.
The bag of teleportation, aside from the properties described above, is, in all aspects, a normal bag. It makes all saves as a normal leather bag, and any items placed inside that could pierce or damage a normal leather bag can also damage a bag of teleportation. A bag of teleportation that gets a hole of any size in it, other than its opening, immediately loses the ability to teleport objects within it and becomes a normal leather bag.
