Pouch of winds

A pouch of winds was a magical bag that, when opened, allowed its holder to summon a strong wind to the aid or detriment of sailing ships.

Appearance
This magical item looked like an ordinary leather pouch that was full to the point of bulging with its contents.

Function
When a pouch of winds was opened, the user would decide if favorable or contrary winds were wanted. If the former was chosen, the current weather conditions would change a strong and steady gust blew in the direction that they chose. If the latter was selected, a wind of the same force would blow against the current direction of any ship in sight of the user. In either case, the winds would last for 2–24 hours, after which they would return to their original course and patterns.

Creation
These pouches were created with use of the spell wind wall.
