Floatchest

Floatchests, also called floats, were magic items to store things.

Description
A floatchest was a storage like a strongchest, casket, or cargo-box made of stout wood. This was the mundane part of a floatchest. The enchanted parts were flat, dark stones inside the mundane storage's false bottom. These stones were mined from the most faerzress-heavy places and had the characteristics to extend the duration of spells cast on it to one to four years. The spells in this case were the animate objects and levitate.

Powers
A floatchest floated. They could be directed by mental command to float into any direction by any person within 30 ft (9 m) who touched and said a possibly secret command word. Control was relinquished if a different person touched the float and said the command word or outright lost if the float left the range.

A floatchest could be directed to fly against and hit a creature.

History
The floatchest was a magic item associated with the drow. Their academies, temples, and noble families owned one to six of them while merchants with dangerous or valuable goods owned one to eight and three to twelve within a given drow community. The floatchest had also a military use. It could be filled with flammables and made to float above enemies and made to ignite with flaming arrows or spells that fulfilled the role.
