[QUOTE="steeldragons, post: 5878921, member: 92511"] I'd say that's a right good magic item. I use that sort of property on magic items all of the time. It's fluffed into the world as "elf made weaponry" from the last/elvin age are almost always enchanted with "retraction/expansion" magics. The one that sticks in my head most is a halberd I gave out that had the retracting/expanding shaft as you describe, so the warrior who had it could use it two-handed as a halberd or spear...or a two-handed battle axe...or shrink it down to single-handed "hand axe" size to fight with an additional weapon or shield on their other hand. Also, practically all elf-made magical bows (of the upper crusty type elves) have retraction enchantments so they basically shrink down to just the grip, fitting on their belts/no larger than a dagger and growing to full bow (short or long) size when pulled out to use. One elf-prince character has the quiver of his similarly connected to the bow's magic so the quiver and arrows in it shrink down to, like, darts in a hip holster and grow to the needed size when the bow is activated. And, have to say, the gold army and diamond-encrusted skeletons are a GREAT evocative image/idea. Consider them yoinked! --SD [/QUOTE]
