<ITEM NAME> is an intelligent magical purse. It is slightly mischievous but very serious about economics, money and trade.

Eat value (Sp)

Whenever fungible items which primarily represents value -- such as coins, bars of precious metals, gemstones or Writs of Baraff -- are inserted into the purse, <ITEM NAME> will eat the items. This utterly destroys the item, so they do not add weight to <ITEM NAME>.

An important aspect of this power is that the item is not merely consumed, but its financial value is extracted into <ITEM NAME>.

<ITEM NAME> does not like the taste of fiat currency, jewellery or art which has value beyond its basic material, nor items that are individually significant, such as someone's special lucky coin or a bar of gold that was just used as a murder weapon. Such items do not represent 'pure' value and are spit back out as a result, wet but otherwise unaffected.

Track Value (Ex)

<ITEM NAME> keeps track of exactly how much value it has been fed and in what amounts. Whomever has <ITEM NAME> instinctively knows the value.

Produce Value (Su)

<ITEM NAME> is able to cough up—somehow always slightly wet—commodity money such as coins or bars, as well as gemstones, in amounts intended by the person holding it. For small amounts of coins and such, this is done by reaching inside, while for larger amounts, <ITEM NAME> can be held upside down until sufficient amounts have poured out.

Coins or bars produced in this manner are always in the form of fungible commodity money (such as gold or silver coins) in the common denominations of the location. Any gemstones produced are standard variations of the gem, with no special qualities or unique properties, though such gemstones can be used as material components in spells.

<ITEM NAME> can produce value up to the amount fed to it, minus one gold piece, which it keeps for itself in perpetuity.

Economic Stability (Su)

Having a deep concern for economic stability, <ITEM NAME> will never consume or produce value in amounts that would destabilize a currency, affect exchange rates, or otherwise upset the local economy (such as by overloading a small community with gold). In converting it takes into account the local exchange rate, as well as the effort to travel to a different location with a better exchange rate.

It never produces value such that the base material of the gems, coins or bars produced would be relevant economically. For example, if there is a shortage of silver, it cannot be used to turn large quantities of gold into silver and solve the shortage. Likewise, while it can produce a material component gem in a pinch, it cannot be used to create a massive amount of material components if those materials would not be otherwise available in the region, such as producing a large amount of obsidian to raise an army of undead or the likes.
