Stormy's Belt Of Reagents  (ITEM)
My father, a truely great mage, once had an item very similar to this.  Since he's resurrected himself more times than I can count, I'll never inherited his, so I figured I better just make my own.  The plus side to all of this is that I have yet another item that I can name after myself.  To get anywhere in life, you really do need to spread your name around.  I'd tell you my father's name, but you'd flee in terror...he had the right idea!  Ok, on to the item... 
Original Idea (Option #1):

A stylish belt which is worn by a magic user.  The belt would have several compartments which would house magical components needed by the magic user to cast any given spell.  The magic user would chant the magic words and the name of the spell they wish to cast, then the spell components would appear in the compartments.

DM/GM SET THE LIMITS:  We recommend setting a limit to the number of times each day that the belt could be used.  {Example: 2 or 3 times a day max.}  We also recommend limiting the spell level of the spells that can be cast using the belt.  {Example: Belt cannot be used to cast spells higher than level 5.}


Future Looks Bright Idea (Option #2):

Using the same idea from above, only the magic user would have to select a spell in advance and place the spell components in the compartments prior to the using of the item.  Once the components have been used and the spell has been cast, the magic user will find the components for the same spell have reappeared in the compartments.  To change the spell, the magic user would have to destroy the components in the belt, and start over with new spell components.

DM/GM SET THE LIMITS:  Again, we recommend setting limits to the number of times each day the belt can be used.  {Example:  4 or 5 times a day max.}  We also recommend limiting the spell level of the spells that can be cast using the belt.  {Example:  Belt cannot be used to cast spells higher than level 7.}
