Fetches any object to the caster’s hand or grasp, so long as it's within 5 feet. It requires one action point for the object to move from its location to the caster.

The object cannot be larger than the caster is able to lift — thus something like a wagon couldn't be compelled to roll or move towards the caster.

Objects that are contained, such as coins in a pouch, or items in a sack, are considered part of the whole, so long at it is the container and the not the contents which are presented. Contained items can only be obtained by the cantrip if the container is open.

Any item that is worn, slung over the shoulder or strapped to a person's body or presently in the user's hand cannot be affected by the cantrip. Therefore, a tied belt pouch would be safe from the caster — unless an untie cantrip was employed first.

Present is distinct from the palm cantrip, which causes the fetched item to dematerialize before it appears in the caster's hand. Present merely moves the object from its location so that it can be possessed.
