This spell is similar to Dimensional Envelope except that the dimensional pocket/area is much smaller and portable, hence the reference to "pockets." The character can reach into a dimensional "pocket," another limbo dimension, to retrieve items that he has placed there earlier. Items can be just about anything that could fit in a backpack: clothing, handguns, energy clips, diary, bottle of aspirin, etc.
The Dimensional Pocket spell requires a physical orientation, which means the person really does seemingly pull impossibly large or numerous items from his pocket(s), backpack, bag, box, purse, or sack. Without a physical sack, bag, or pocket, the power cannot work! The character will typically select one favorite pocket or bag as his focus of orientation. To anybody else the pocket is just an ordinary pocket or container taht holds the usual amount of stuff.
The ordinary-looking pocket/bag will appear to be empty unless the character investigating can see dimensional anomalies. This means that the Temporal Wizard, warrior and raider can see into the pocket and remove items, as well as Shifters, many alien intelligences like the Splugorth, and characters with the spell of See Dimensional Anomalies. Practitioners of magic and the occasional psionic with the ability to focus and concentrate (M.E. 17 or higher) can plunge their hand into the pocket, feel around and remove items, but only if they know that the pocket/bag is magical.
Wizards seldom have more than one or two long-term dimensional pockets themselves and rarely sell "magic" bags with more than three years of life in them. The retail cost for such a bag can range from 90,000 to a million credits, however the maker of the magic bag seldom gets more than 20%. Note: See Dimensional Envelope for the sensing abilities of the Temporal Raider and Shifter.
Long-term pocket duration: 6 months per level of experience.
Limitations: Items must all be small, ideally something that can be picked up and held with one hand. About 30 lbs (13.6 kg) can be stored in a Dimensional Pocket, depending on size.
