This device is about ¾ inch across and can be made of ivory, bone, or any hard mineral. It enables its possessor to put up a special force wall 4 yards on a side around her person. This cubic screen moves with the character and provides semi-ablative DR 10. When an attack strikes this screen, every 10 points of basic damage rolled removes one point of DR, regardless of whether the attack penetrates DR. Lost DR “heals” as at a rate of 1 per day. The possessor presses one face of the cube to activate a particular type of screen or to deactivate the device. The usage drains FP at a rate of 1 per minute.

Cubic Gate

Cubic Gate – as a metatronic generator (using Pyramid 3-46)
This item is fashioned from carnelian. Each of the six sides of the cube is keyed to a plane, one of which is the Material Plane. The character creating the item should choose the planes to which the other five sides are keyed.
If a side of the cubic gate is pressed once, it opens a gate to a random point on the plane keyed to that side. Pressing the side a second time closes the gate. It is impossible to open more than one gate at a time. Keeping the gate open costs 1 FP per 30 seconds.
If a side is pressed twice in quick succession, the character so doing is transported to a random point on the other plane, along with all creatures in adjacent squares. (The other creatures may avoid this fate by succeeding on a Will roll). This use costs 1 FP.
Statistics: Jumper (Alternative Enhancements (Affects Others 6, +300% and Emanation, -20% or Tunnel, +100% and Extended Duration, 3x, +20%), +304%; Cosmic, No roll required, +100%; Extra Carrying Capacity, Extra-Heavy, +50%; Magical, -10%) [544].
TL3 Cost: 2 x 544 x $175 = $190,400.
