Tuesday Magic Item – Paper Clothes

Her clothes were beautiful, though of an antique style they seemed newly made.  She was charming and delightful even if she kept vanishing.

After midnight was the last time I saw her.  She begged off and when I caught at her sleeve, this piece came away.  It is just colored paper.

Now I just wonder if I will ever see her again.

Paper Clothes

These items are often found in books but can be just a single page upon which is drawn or printed a set of clothing and a brief phrase.

When the page is held and the phrase is read aloud, the page unfolds into the clothing pictured upon the reader (so it is best to be in one’s undergarments beforehand).  The clothes created are paper-colored unless they are colored before the phrase is read, in which case they will take upon those colors when transformed.

The paper clothes last for six plus 1d4 hours, in the last half hour they becoming increasingly stiff and paper-like before peeling away as simple paper again.
