With this spell, you pluck a single item (or joined items, like keys sharing a ring) the size of your fist or smaller in overall volume, that's not in the grasp of any living and conscious creature, and is within your sight as you are casting, to fly through the air at your hands. You must make a successful Dexterity check to catch this item.
You can use this spell to pluck one item for every 4 arcane class levels you possess.
Volo usually uses this spell to steal tarts, but has managed to get keys to rooms or cells he's confined in, timely-useful weapons and tools, and so on. The magic of this spell isn't strong enough to break chains, rings, or hasps to fetch secured items.
And as I (Ed Greenwood) wrote in a Twitter lore reply back in 2020:
"Naked fleeing Volo once used this to garner a wardrobe (frilly lingerie) while racing through a shop, after a husband came home earlier than anticipated. I left that out of the manuscript, for reasons of good taste that escape me now."
