This rugged hiking backpack is crafted from dark, durable leather and reinforced with gleaming brass buckles and fasteners. It features four large, intricately-embroidered zippers with runes of connection and containment along their edges. These zippers hum faintly with magic, glowing softly when the backpack is in use.
Storage Capacity
The backpack can hold up to 100 pounds of gear in its normal form. Retrieving an item from the backpack in any form requires a bonus action.
Magical Separation
As an action, you can split the Backpack of Instant Access into up to four separate bags of equal size. Each bag can hold a portion of the total weight the backpack can carry, divided by the number of bags created (e.g., 50 pounds for two bags, 25 pounds for four bags). These bags are magically linked. Any item fully enclosed within one of the bags also exists in all the other bags, provided they are on the same plane of existence. Removing an item from one bag removes it from all others.
Reassembly
To return the separated bags to their original form as a single backpack, you must spend 1 minute gathering all the bags and holding them together. Once gathered, the magical zippers align, and with a simple mental command, they pull together with a soft snap, reforming the original backpack. All items within the bags remain intact and accessible after the transformation is complete.
Magical Durability
If one of the split bags is destroyed while it contains items, the items remain safe and accessible from the remaining bags. However, if the final bag is destroyed, all items contained within are ejected and scattered within a 10-foot radius around the point of destruction. Any destroyed bag permanently loses its magic, and items inside cannot be accessed through it.
Instability
Attempting to remove the same item from two or more bags simultaneously causes magical instability. If this occurs, all involved bags immediately trigger the effects of the gravity sinkhole spell (save DC 18), with each bag acting as the spell's center. The bags are destroyed in the process.
