Item: Magic Bags of Holding

In my first novel involving Tarkil, there is a scene where he hands a bag to Kenna and tells her everything should fit in there. He's referring to the contents of a large chest and the bag is only about pouch size. Kenna seems skeptical, but everything does fit.

This bag, and ones like it, are magical bags with extradimensional space. The outside of the bag can range from the size of a pouch to the size of a backpack. The inside can range as well, but the size of the outside will effect the inside of the bag's size. Most roleplaying games have a magical bag so just use those if you want to keep balance in your game.

In Martapa the bags are rare, but well cared for. Most bags of holding are the size of pouches and can hold up to 10 cubic feet of items. The holding size ranges all the way up to 30 cubic feet of space, but the outsides of this are usually backpack size. This should be a special magic item, placed by the GM in a treasure. I wouldn't give these out willy-nilly.

The appearances of the bags are usually plane, but small runes of magic are usually sewed around the edge of the opening. These glyphs are what allow the objects to be placed in the bags that would otherwise be to big to fit in the bag.
