Ohm's Black Box (Magic Box)

Created by the famed wizard-naturalist Ohm, the box is a perfect 12-inch cube with a dull black finish. It weighs only one pound, and its surface is smooth with no apparent openings. The box was designed to carry creatures as large as 10' tall, as heavy as 2,000 pounds. The box is aware of the creature's needs and provides a habitable environment for up to five days. For example, the box provides a soft bed and a lounge (complete with a seven-course meat) for a pampered halfling, or a salt water pool with fresh fish for a kuo-toa. A creature left in the box for longer than five days is automatically released. Only one creature can be kept in the box at any one time.
The box's inhabitant is oblivious to the outside world; dropping or rapping on the box is unnoticed by those inside. However, destroying the box will dispel the magic and release the occupant. Creatures inside the box can escape only by means of a wish, or limited wish. All forms of teleportation and interplanar travel are nullified inside the box. However, magic resistant creatures can check their magical resistance once each time the box is used against them. If the roll fails, the creature can be trapped for five days, just as any other creature. Creatures trapped in the box cannot be detected by any form of scrying or divination except for contact other plane or commune spells, which work normally with respect to the trapped creature. Trapped creatures cannot communicate with the outside world via telepathy or other psionic abilities.
To trap a creature in the box, the owner must place the box within 10' of the it and speak the command word. The creature is transported into the box in a blinding flash. If more than one creature, including the box's owner, is within 10' of the box, all potential captives are allowed a saving throw vs. spell. Any creature that fails its saving throw is trapped. If more than one fails to save, the one closest to the box is trapped. A second command releases the captive from the box. The box's owner must be outside the box to issue the command. Each command can be stated once a day.
