[QUOTE="RangerWickett, post: 1629307, member: 63"] You can affix any spell to a point in space or to an object or creature, so yeah, you can have a backpack with an extradimensional space. Heck, you could even do some classic magic tricks, like having an extradimensional space behind your ear where you keep your coins, or under your skirt where you keep your giant hammer or katana (pardon the anime joke). The extradimensional space is on a different plane, so items inside it don't have a weight in this world. You can use Create Air to make the pocket dimension have fresh air, which is necessary if you're going to have someone live in there for long. If you don't, though, air will circulate through the opening just as it would through a normal opening. You could hide in a dimensional pocket and have enough air for a few minutes probably, and if you left the entrance open you'd be able to breathe just fine. If you cast Transform Metal on a ring, then you've just changed the shape of the ring. You could create a ring that had an unlimited-use ability to cast Transform Metal, which would let you transform any metal you touched. If you want a magic item that will let you change the shape of what you're wearing, you could have an unlimited-use Transform Nature 1/Transform Metal 1/Gen 0, but again, that would work for things you touch. I would suggest, as a judgment call, that if you wanted an item that could transform your clothes, make an unlimited-use item that can cast Transform Nature 1/Transform Metal 1/Gen 0, but at a quarter cost because you're limited to only using it on yourself. If it also lets you transform all your gear (like weapons, or, taken to an extreme, letting you have nearly any tool you want), I wouldn't cut you a discount. At 1/4 price, it's effectively a variant of 'disguise self,' that isn't an illusion, and that can't change your bodily appearance, just your stuff. Hm. Negative levels from wielding aligned objects. Hmm. I wish you'd mentioned that two months ago. It would've been a nice thing to let Infuse [Alignment] do. I'll think on it. Thanks. [/QUOTE]
