Otherspace pocket

A commonly used casual name for a small personal-use claudication. (Sometimes otherspace pockets are referred to (out of habit) as temporospatial claudications, but most wizards building them omit the temporal component in a personal claudication due to power issues unless there are specific special requirements involved.)

Generally a wizard using an otherspace pocket will link the spell which constructs and operates it to their physical presence in a given volume of space. This way it "follows them around" and is always at a specified distance from them and in a specified location. The standard personal-claudication spell defaults to a "closed" status and only opens on command, to keep it from accidentally enclosing objects as the wizard moves.

The "ïnternal" size of an otherspace pocket is limited only by the amount of energy a wizard is prepared to spend on it each day. Most pockets used by human wizards for casual day-to-day purposes seem to average out in the 5-10 cubic foot range, as maintaining much more interior volume than that quickly becomes draining. However, in emergencies a claudication can contain much, much more, though the energy price for this is considerable.
