This bag was created by the Arcanists working in the archives as a solution for it's acquisitions team to identify books that were not currently existing in the archives.
Appearance: The bag appears to be a simple empty burlap sack with the image of a large time on the front.
Sentience: The Bag of Tomes is a sentient Lawful Neutral magic item with an Intelligence of 17, a Wisdom of 15, and a Charisma of 7. It has hearing out to a range of 60 feet. The bag communicates by slight movements and adjusting the size of the bags opening. The bag will refuse to accept or eject any contents that are not books, specifically books not already contained in the Arcanum archives.
This bag has an interior space considerably larger than its outside dimensions, roughly 2 feet in diameter at the mouth and 4 feet deep. The bag can hold up to 500 pounds, not exceeding a volume of 64 cubic feet. The bag weighs 15 pounds, regardless of its contents. Retrieving an item from the bag requires an action.
If the bag is overloaded, pierced, or torn, it ruptures and is destroyed, and its contents are scattered in the Astral Plane. If the bag is turned inside out, its contents spill forth, unharmed, but the bag must be put right before it can be used again.
Placing a Bag of Tomes inside an extradimensional space created by a Heward's handy haversack, portable hole, or similar item instantly destroys both items and opens a gate to the Astral Plane. The gate originates where the one item was placed inside the other. Any creature within 10 feet of the gate is sucked through it to a random location on the Astral Plane. The gate then closes. The gate is one-way only and can't be reopened.
Notes: Utility, Container
