Pandora's Box

This is a new spell which allows the caster to place an object in some location,
generally a locked box back at his or her apartment but virtually anywhere will
do, and then by recasting the spell, can retrieve the item(s) stored in the
box. This spell has an unlimited range, but the difficulty of casting increases
with the distance of the caster from the item(s).

When storing the items in the box or wherever is chosen, the spell must be cast.
The number of successes scored against the target numbers shown below, dictates
how many items can eventually be retrieved. Storing the items is the easy part
of the spell. It is their retrieval that proves the most challenging. When
retrieving an item the size is again important, but the distance of the caster
from his Pandora's Box now comes into play. The target number is based on the
size of the item:

Item Size Target Number

Small (<3kg) 4
Medium (3-10kg) 6
Large (11-50kg) 8
Extra Large (50-100kg) 10
Huge (>100kg) 12

These target numbers are then modified by the distance from the item. Only one
success is required, and extra successes modify the base retrieval time to a
minimum of one turn. Divide the successes into the base time.

Distance From Item Modifier Retrieval Time
<1km +0 10 turns
1-10km +2 50 turns
11-100km +4 10 minutes
101-1000km +6 1 hour
>1000km +8 6 hours

If the spell succeeds, then the object appears either in the caster's hand, or a
short distance away (<2m). It is required to sustain the spell between the time
that the object is summoned and its appearance. Multiple castings of the spell
are required for the retrieval of more than one item. Note that it is the item
that is transferred and not the box and the item (if a box has been used).
