Ancient Item

By means of this spell, the magic-user is able to touch any normal, non-magical item of a size appropriate to the allowable area of effect and cause it to shrink to one-twelfth of its normal size. Optionally, the caster can also change its now-shrunken composition to a cloth-like one. Only living things are entitled to a saving throw versus spell DC, but each such save is at +4. Objects and creatures transformed to cloth make saving throws normally (as if not altered) against subsequent attacks. Objects changed by an item spell can be returned to normal composition and size merely by tossing them onto any solid surface or by word of command from the original spell caster. It is possible to affect a fire and its fuel with this spell. All objects and creatures are transformed for one hour per level of the spell caster. Area of effect is 2 cubic foot per level of spell caster.

Duration quadrupled if used on non-living material.
