Editing Bags of Holding

'''Bags of Holding''' refer to a type of magical [[Artifact]] that can carry objects in, seemingly, extradimensional space. 

== Overview ==
Bags of holding are widespread throughout [[Innworld]] and are seen to be used by [[adventurers]], [[mages]], [[merchants]], [[Runners]], [[Dragons]], and [[nobility]]. They differ in their capacity and durability, depending on the types and qualities of the enchantment(s) placed on the bag. The carrying capacity of bags of holding are measured by the pound, the most common unit of measurement for weight in [[Innworld]].<ref name="3.36">[https://wanderinginn.com/2017/12/09/3-36/ Chapter 3.36]</ref> It is inadvisable to place a bag of holding within another bag of holding.<ref name="3.31"> [https://wanderinginn.com/3.31 Chapter 3.31]</ref> Some bags can accommodate objects that normally would not fit through their openings, by somehow opening wider or by making the object grow smaller.<ref name="2.46">[https://wanderinginn.com/2.46 Chapter 2.46]</ref>{{ref|7.58}} Living things also cannot be placed in bags of holding as it would kill them, save for living eggs for unknown reasons.<ref>{{VERef|10.24 E}}</ref>

Lower quality bags of holding may not allow for their owners to grab things at will{{ref|6.01}}, require people to reach down deeply to retrieve items{{ref|6.01}}, or be unable to stretch their openings to allow for larger objects{{ref|7.58}}.  According to the [Enchanter] [[Hedault]], bags of holding rarely contain more than a few hundred pounds. Those bags sacrifice higher capacity for magical instability.{{ref|3.36}}

==Extranormative Use==
Beyond carrying objects and Artifacts within a small space, bags of holding allow for other notable functions.

===Mercantile===
When dealing with wealthy clientelle who do not carry their coin on their person, bags of holding are used to later send payment to a seller, usually by [[Runner's Guild|Runner]].{{ref|6.17 S}} Though it is recommended that such payment be arranged through the [[Merchant's Guild]].

===Combat===
Bags of holding allow for rapid-firing and switching of preloaded projectiles, such as in the case of [[Crossbow Stan]].{{ref|6.18 H}}

=== Preservation ===
Bags of holding can slow the rate of decay of perishables within, such as food. Depending on the efficiency, they can slow it by ten percent or halve it.<ref>{{VERef|10.02 Y}}</ref>

==Artifacts and Magical Dissonance==
Bags of Holding can contain enchanted artifacts. If the artifacts are inactive, dissonance is a non-issue within the bag.<ref name="6.19 H"> [https://wanderinginn.com/6.19 Chapter 6.19 H] </ref>

In terms of [[Artifacts#Dissonance|magical dissonance]], like all magical items, Bags of Holding can project their own magical energy and leakage.{{ref|6.17 S}} This means that one should be wary of keeping multiple bags of holding close to one another, as they are known to not play well together. The stronger the enchantment on the Bags of Holding, the shorter the time span before something awry could happen.{{ref|6.17 S}}

== Failure ==
Bags of Holding can fail if they go over the magical interference threshold, have another Bag of Holding placed inside, or the enchantments fail due to mana drain. When a Bag of Holding fails and breaks, the fabric becomes mundane and its contents decompress at great speed, exploding the bag and potentially harming people nearby. The same holds true for larger variants like chests.<ref>{{VERef|10.03 Y}}</ref>

==Other Objects of Holding==
There exists other objects that act similarly to bags of holding, such as boxes or vaults enchanted with the holding spell. 

Vaults are regarded to be more expensive. Magical vaults of holding can come in many degrees of enchantment. Some nobles have vaults crammed with many ward enchantments. Vaults can be made to be easily-concealed or unobtrusive to help deter thieves. They can be attuned to keys and locked with spells that can be lethal, noisy, or incapacitating. {{ref|6.17 S}}
