Wondrous Item, artifact

Any object or organic matter placed in this bag for more than 6 seconds turns into solid. The bag can hold up to 60 pounds, not exceeding a volume of 1 cubic foot. The bag weighs 15 pounds, regardless of its contents. Retrieving an item from the bag requires an action.

Pouch of Midas. Any object or organic matter placed in this bag for more than 6 seconds turns into solid gold. If only part of an object or organic matter is inserted for the duration, only that portion is transmuted into gold. Turning the bag inside out disables the golding effect until the bag is returned to its original orientation.

Anything turned into gold with this bag gains a value equal to its own weight in gold. Any objects or organic matter turned into gold cannot be healed or returned to its original form by any method short of the Wish spell, partially-transmuted objects and organic matter included.
Organic matter belonging to creatures dead or alive that are transmuted effectively die, and are stuck in the shape and position they were goldened in until the gold itself is melted into another shape.
Any currency coins placed into this bag transmute into an equal number of gold pieces.

Purse of Midas. This curse grows on its carrier over time. Once you start carrying this bag, you find yourself impossibly compelled to keep it on your person at all times, and refuse to allow anyone else to carry it. If the bag is taken while the carrier is incapacitated, the curse is transferred to the new carrier.
The longer its carrier is beholden to this bag, the more their body will become corrupted with gold. It will start with gold skin flaking off around their hands, then golden blisters and scabs. Slowly the affliction will take to their bones and internal organs. The gold will spread across their body until their entire body succumbs to the curse, leaving them a solid gold statue. Any part of the body damaged by this curse is permanent, and the spreading will only stop once the curse is transferred to a new carrier.
