Basket of Devouring (Magic Basket)

Baskets of devouring are common items in ship studies and captain's quarters. They are small, 1' in diameter and 1' tall, and have a natural ability to always land open-end up. Anything large enough to fit completely into the basket disappears once its total mass passes under the lip. All items placed into a basket of devouring have a 5% chance per turn of disappearing. This can be helpful when an item or valuable piece of paper is thrown into the basket before its importance is revealed. (Unfortunately, it can also cause some problems when incriminating information needs to be destroyed and the basket doesn't operate for days.)
(It is rumored that items placed in a basket of devouring are not destroyed. The rumor has it that the contents are dimensionally shifted into the Astral Plane. There, the arcane have a special asteroid base where they sift through the refuse looking for valuables. All valuable information and items are catalogued and placed in a vast library.) This item does not function while a ship is in the phlogiston.
