Contents

Possible items include cooking ware, jugs, cups, mugs, plates, vases, jars and chamber pots. Each is solid and performs as intended, so they are able to endure normal fires, contain liquids and food, withstand oven heat and protect their contained materials.

The object emits a very weak magic signature for the purpose of detection.

Limitations

Despite feeling tangible, these cantrip-made objects are intrisically subject to attack, as they cannot contain magically-adjusted liquids or material, nor endure if touched by fire. If such a flask were to contain oil, and touched by a flame to transform it into a grenade-like missile, the object would fall apart before thrown. Likewise if an attempt were made to fire trap or use it to contain magical grease.

Pottery objects can be thrown as a missile, causing 1-2 damage if a to hit roll is successful.
