MET Mechanics:

This ritual allows the Hougan to create a sack capable of holding more than its size would suggest, much like that of the legendary Uncle Gunny Sack. Once the bag is created, it becomes capable of holding the same amount of stuff as a standard car trunk, regardless of its actual size and possessed of an unquenchable hunger.

To create the bag the Hougan must take two naughty children between the ages of 6 and 14 and stuff them into a sack. Then they must beat the sack, submerge in in water for two minutes, and then bury it, all while telling the children that Uncle Gunnysack has come to punish them for their misdeeds. The sack remains buried until sunset the next day absorbing the souls of the two dead children and dissolving their bodies entirely.

Once created, any living (or once living in the case of the undead) matter stored in the bag for more than 30 minutes starts to be dissolved, taking 1 level of aggravated damage every minutes or so until it dies. Any dead matter in the bag is dissolved over the course of a day, during which time the bag cannot be opened. The bag will not eat the ashes left behind by a kindred.

In order to retain its magic, the owner of the bag must feed it another naughty child each year. If the bag is ever damaged or destroyed, all the souls of the children used in its creation and maintenance escape and attack the owner of the bag. Any time the bag breaks, the Hougan who creates it gains 1 point in the Enemy flaw to represent the now free angry spirits that wish their destruction.
