Item: Lily Pad Platform
Popular among smugglers and other sailors of ill repute, this unassuming palm-sized wooden lily pad or lotus leaf expands on command, forming a floating platform.
Activate—Expand 3 (concentrate, manipulate)
Frequency once per day
Effect You place the lily pad platform on the surface of a body of water at least 60 feet deep. It instantly unfolds into a flat platform that fills a 20-foot burst or the entire body of water, whichever is smaller. Any creatures or items in the area are lifted on top of it, and it's anchored in place, unmoved by the current. You can use a single action with the auditory trait to instantly return the lily pad platform to its original size, dropping any items or creatures on it into the water. This happens automatically if the total Bulk of items and creatures on the lily pad platform exceeds 100 Bulk.
Activate—Plunge 2 (concentrate, auditory)
Requirements The lily pad platform is expanded
Effect The lily pad platform wraps around everything on top of it and plunges 60 feet beneath the surface for 1 hour, after which it returns to the surface. While submerged, items take no damage from the water, and creatures can breathe normally but are engulfed (Escape (DC 19)).
Trait Effects
Magical: Something with the magical trait is imbued with magical energies not tied to a specific tradition of magic. Some items or effects are closely tied to a particular tradition of magic. In these cases, the item has the arcane, divine, occult, or primal trait instead of the magical trait. Any of these traits indicate that the item is magical.
Wood: Effects with the wood trait conjure or manipulate wood. Those that manipulate wood have no effect in an area without wood. Creatures with this trait consist primarily of wood or have a connection to magical wood. These planes consist of trees and other flora latticed in organic patterns. Wood planes are often perfectly constructed to match their desired purpose or environment but aren’t usually outright hostile to visitors.
