Divvy (aka Even Stevens)

Cast this spell upon a collection of items within range (often coinage.) While you concentrate, the spell telekinetically separates the mass into one or more distinct groupings at a quick rate of 60 items per round. The spell cannot move anything heavier than 5 pounds.

The items collect in a tidy fashion into stacks or piles. If containers are provided, the spell can dispense the items therein once the sorting has concluded. Any remainder is set gently spinning at the spell's center as appropriate for the items. The spell can divide troves of mixed composition, (coins & gems, for example) and leaves any outliers as remainder (such as magic items or art pieces).

The caster can choose to divide unevenly, choosing Overt, Covert or both.

• Overt imbalances are done in full view and are easy to notice. 
• A Covert imbalance discreetly and gradually teleports either a specific number of items or an extra share onto the caster's person during the sorting. The items cannot be placed into an extradimensional space such as a bag of holding. The caster makes a Sleight of Hand check with a +5 bonus to avoid detection. The DM might also allow a Perception check if the misappropriation is too substantial or if the hoard is small enough to observe the foul play.

The Covert function of this spell is almost never taught, and rarely recorded; from revered financial institutions to arcane thieves, this element remains an in-joke and a rite of passage to spellcrafters. In this way, (ab)use of the function requires creativity, and analysis using the fundamentals of magic. In fact, the phrase "even stevens" is known to denote an awareness of the spell's hidden functions and (in polite company) prompts a caster to halt its use.

Extremely stuffy theorists have suggested that the spellwork itself may be enchanted to encourage this widespread behavioral phenomenon, but such people are considered cringe.
