Concerning the hand of glory item; would you permit the creation of an item with a similar function (allowing a ring to be worn in the necklace slot, essentially) but that does not require the use of a severed hand?  If so, what would be an appropriate prerequisite spell to substitute for the animate dead spell?  I have yet to make a character that would be comfortable wearing a mummified hand around his or her neck; even if I were playing a necromancer, I think I'd want to be a little more subtle about it than that (no wearing skulls as hats, either).2.  Would you allow the creation of an item similar to a bag of holding or handy haversack, but whose primary mechanism was based around the shrink item spell rather than the secret chest spell?  In other words, rather than making the inside of the container larger than the outside, the item just makes everything you put into it very small and light.  What would be the relative strengths and weaknesses of such an item compared to more traditional extradimensional storage?  It seems to me that such an item would prove to have greater storage potential than other items, since the shrink item spell reduces volume (and therefore weight) by roughly 1/4000.  That would allow a standard backpack (capacity 100 pounds/10 cubic feet) into an item that could theoretically hold 400,000 pounds or 40,000 cubic feet (assuming you allowed the item to exactly replicate the effects of the spell, of course).  Of course, woe to the wearer of such an item if he has it packed full and then steps into an anti-magic field...</blockquote>
