A gathering basket is a loose weave of reeds, shaped into a large, shallow bowl. The bearer activates the basket with a command word (a standard action), and sweeps it through a space. Any objects in the space through which the basket is swept which match the basket's enchantment are gathered into the basket.

Gathering baskets are built such that they will only gather one specific type of item, which must be specified when the gathering basket is created. It is possible to create gathering baskets with broader restrictions, but the cost of the basket increases substantially. An example of a normal restriction would be a basket that collects strawberries, allowing the bearer to harvest them straight off the plants. While you could create a basket that could collect any fruit, it would cost several thousand gold. A basket that collects both fruits and nuts might cost tens of thousands of gold.

Gathering baskets can only collect items in a space through which the basket can be swept, so the matter being sorted through must be loose, pliant, or small. You can sweep a basket through a thicket of plants, for example, to harvest the fruits within, but you cannot sweep a basket through the rock of a cave wall to harvest gems or gold. You can use a basket to sift through sand or loose sediment (to pan for gold, for example), or to sort small, loose objects very quickly. You could pour a bunch of mixed coins through a basket which only gathers platinum coins, for example, and all the other coins would fall straight through the basket.

Gathering baskets can greatly speed up a harvest, though the labor involved is still fairly high. The bearer must still sweep the basket through each crop plant, and then carry the harvested foods back to some central storage area. However, they require almost no skill to use, and are fairly affordable. Larger farms will often have several baskets for each type of crop they produce, and a basket to get eggs from under the chickens (the chickens really hate having a basket pass through them, though).

Portable fires are very popular lay magic items, even among modest households. A portable fire is a swath of sturdy cloth which has been treated with elemental fire. The pieces of cloth are hot on one side, and cool on the other. Most of them have a border sewn onto them as well, in order to ease handling. By regulating the amount and intensity of the fire embedded in the cloth, the temperature of the cloth may be finely controlled.

The temperature range available range from cloth which is barely warm (often used in clothing) to cloth which is blindingly white hot (used by smiths for smelting and forging steel and dweomermetals). Unfortunately, the hotter the portable fire is, the less stable it becomes.

The coolest sorts radiate their gentle warmth no matter how roughly they are handled, and can thus be used in blankets and clothing. The warmer, household types (150 to 250 degrees) must be kept still (such as wrapped around a pot) or moved only slowly (carrying the pot to the table). The hottest household fires (450 degrees) must be kept still or they will quench. Fires used in light craftwork ( 800 to 2000 degrees) are so finicky they must be used on a solid stable surface, such as a stone table or a sand bed. The very hottest sorts used by smiths and alchemists (5000 degrees and up) are so delicate that they must be used inside specially constructed enclosures, as nearly any vibration, or even a stray breeze, will cause them to quench instantly.

If a portable fire is disturbed excessively the elemental fire flickers and "quenches", or stops producing heat. The temperature of the portable fire immediately falls to the surrounding temperature, but objects already heated cool normally.

All portable fires may also be quenched by folding them up, so that their hot surfaces are turned in upon one another. Once quenched, to activate a portable fire is very simple: you unfold it. After being unfolded it takes anywhere from several seconds ( for a 150 degree fire) to several minutes for very hot fires) to begin working again.

Portable fires only emit their heat in one direction, and the backside of the cloth remains room temperature. They are completely fireproof, but provide no protection to their wearer if worn.

A 2,000� F portable fire is most typically used for firing pottery, smelting, and quenching metals.

+Portable fires are very popular lay magic items, even among modest households.  A portable fire is a swath of sturdy cloth which has been treated with elemental fire. The pieces of cloth are hot on one side, and cool on the other. Most of them have a border sewn onto them as well, in order to ease handling. By regulating the amount and intensity of the fire embedded in the cloth, the temperature of the cloth may be finely controlled.
+The temperature range available range from cloth which is barely warm (often used in clothing) to cloth which is blindingly white hot (used by smiths for smelting and forging steel and dweomermetals).  Unfortunately, the hotter the portable fire is, the less stable it becomes.
+The coolest sorts radiate their gentle warmth no matter how roughly they are handled, and can thus be used in blankets and clothing. The warmer, household types (150 to 250 degrees) must be kept still (such as wrapped around a pot) or moved only slowly (carrying the pot to the table). The hottest household fires (450 degrees) must be kept still or they will quench. Fires used in light craftwork ( 800 to 2000 degrees) are so finicky they must be used on a solid stable surface, such as a stone table or a sand bed. The very hottest sorts used by smiths and alchemists (5000 degrees and up) are so delicate that they must be used inside specially constructed enclosures, as nearly any vibration, or even a stray breeze, will cause them to quench instantly.
+If a portable fire is disturbed excessively the elemental fire flickers and "quenches", or stops producing heat. The temperature of the portable fire immediately falls to the surrounding temperature, but objects already heated cool normally.
+All portable fires may also be quenched by folding them up, so that their hot surfaces are turned in upon one another. Once quenched, to activate a portable fire is very simple: you unfold it. After being unfolded it takes anywhere from several seconds ( for a 150 degree fire) to several minutes for very hot fires) to begin working again.
+Portable fires only emit their heat in one direction, and the backside of the cloth remains room temperature. They are completely fireproof, but provide no protection to their wearer if worn.
+A 250� F portable fire is most typically used for cooking food and boiling water.
