The Deck of Manny's Things

Wondrous item, not exactly legendary

The great wizard Manuel the Mildly Mad sought a more convenient way to store his lesser magic items to reduce clutter in his tower. He transmuted them into magical cards, and stored them in an enchanted deck. He didn’t write down which card did what, though. He was mildly mad, after all.

You can draw 2 cards from the deck every day, resetting every dawn; attempts to draw additional cards will produce nothing as the cards fade back into the deck. When you draw a card from the deck, it turns into a temporary magical item. This item is identical in all respects to a real version of the same item, but will disappear after ten minutes from the moment the card was drawn. Any effect with a duration longer than 10 minutes produced by an item drawn in this way has a duration of 10 minutes instead.

When all 22 cards have been drawn from the deck, roll a d20. On a roll of 1, the cards fly into the Astral Plane and the deck is destroyed. On any other roll, all the cards are returned and re-shuffled into the deck.
