Bag of beans

A bag of beans was a rare magical item.

Description
The bag looked like a regular small sack and was made from heavy cloth.

Powers
The bag contained dried beans, which looked like regular ordinary beans but they contained powerful magical properties. IF a bean was dropped on the ground, it exploded in a brilliant fireball.

The owner of the bag had no way of knowing what power a bean held. But if a bean was planted, the magical properties were revealed. The magical effects of the beans ranged from minor to incredibly powerful.

The known magical properties of the beans are listed below:


 * Spawn a Treant, although there was a risk it would be evil.
 * Summon an aggressive Bulette.
 * Create a patch of toadstool mushrooms.
 * Create a statue that resembled the individual who planted the bean. It was rooted in place but for a day it was animate, and was verbally aggressive towards the individual who planted the bean.
 * Create a tree bearing fruit. The fruit had the effect of various potions.
 * Create a large pyramid, which contained a Mummy Lord.
 * Sprout a patch of shriekers.
 * Create a campfire of blue flame which burned for a full day.
 * Summon a geyser of liquid. The liquid could be water, beer, juice, tea or even oil.
 * Sprout a gigantic beanstalk.
