Miniature Terrain
Wondrous item, rare
This 2-inch stone cube is carved and painted to be a miniature representation of a block of terrain.
Many versions exist depicting all types of environments. You can use an action to speak a command word while holding the cube, causing it to transform ten cubic feet of the environment around you into the environment depicted by the cube. The specific conditions vary based on the cube’s terrain, but the transformed space maintains the atmosphere, temperature, and other conditions as though creatures within have been teleported to another plane, preventing the surrounding environment from intruding into the space and refreshing the contents of the space, such as air or water, as appropriate. It allows creatures and objects to enter and exit the space. This effect persists for ten minutes, after which the terrain cube shrinks back to its original size and the transformed space reverts to the original environment. You can use an action to speak the command word again to end the effect early. The following are examples of types of miniature terrain.
Flowing River. The environment becomes that of a temperate grassland while dirt banks manifest around a roiling pool of fresh water. This water is a section of a moving river that sweeps anything that falls into it out of the cube.
Frozen Tundra. The ground turns into slippery ice, which is difficult terrain, and the temperature is extreme cold.
Lava Flow. Obsidian rock banks appear around a 5-foot-wide lava flow. Creatures that fall into lava or start their turn in it take 55 (10d10) fire damage.
Ocean Waves. Salt water fills the entire cube and generates churning waves at the top of it.
Rocky Ground. Solid rock appears beneath your feet, perfect for a temporary barrier or a small bridge. This terrain doesn’t change the temperature or humidity of your surroundings but does ensure the air is breathable within the cube.
Sandy Desert. Shifting sands make for difficult terrain while the air becomes arid and the temperature is extreme heat.
