Tuesday Magic Item – Cook’s Cornucopia

Gollaon accepted the bag from the baker.  “We will make sure it makes it safe to the orphanage, Madam Sugarfoot.”

“See that you do,” she said with a wink.  “They need it more than scruffy rogues like you.”

“You wound me!” said Gollaon with an exaggerated gesture.

Voddick shook his head and smiled.  “Thank you again for your kindness.”

“We were all children once,” said the baker.

Cook’s Cornucopia

These cornucopias are woven from straw with great care and often with decorations honoring the harvest and powers thereof.  They are quite large but still moveable by a single person.

The cook’s cornucopia takes freshly baked goods and replicates them, each freshly baked (within ten minutes of being taken from the oven) item placed in the cornucopia is replicated 1d4+1 times.  This can be done once per hour.

However, the items replicated cannot but sold or traded, only given away.  Any attempt to sell them caused them to turn into straw and the person who did so can no longer use the cornucopia.

If someone forces another to use the cornucopia’s powers to create food, it will work, but the being who forced the cornucopia’s use will be sickened if they try to harm the baker or anyone who has eaten food from the cornucopia.

Wondrous item (cornucopia), uncommon

First three paragraphs as above.

If someone forces another to use the cornucopia’s powers to create food, it will work, but the being who forced the cornucopia’s use will be poisoned if they try to harm the baker or anyone who has eaten food from the cornucopia.

Notes: Something Thanksgiving-themed, sort of in any case. I played with very similar ideas with the Cornucopia of Friendship.  But you do magic items for so long, you start looping back over yourself.  Still, a nice way to share food with friends and the needy.
