Recommended Cards for DMG Wondrous Items (Misc)

Bags
IP45, HH91 - This black and white leather bag with a dragon clasp is the most common and attractive container, so I'd use it for the bags of holding.

RW89 - Plain leather and stained, this bag will serve for the bags of tricks and the handy haversack.

RW106 - Green leather with red felt lining and yellow ribbon, this quiver will serve as an efficient quiver and proxy for the scabbard of keen edges.

Adventure Gear will also be supplying us with a Sack, a Pouch, Saddlebags, and possibly a Backpack which may be useful representations of these items.

Books
HH93 - This sturdy book with parchment pages, a leather spine, and silver fittings seems robust. As such, it's a good choice for most of the golem manuals and manuals of bodily health, gainful exercise, and quickness in action.

RW91 - Crisp vellum with painted hardwood covers and a sun-like emblem, this book is suitable for the blessed book and the tomes of clear thought, leadership and influence, and understanding.

RW92 - This volume with the dried skin cover is warm to the touch, and most appropriate for the golem manual, flesh.

Various
HH96 - Glass with dark swirling liquid and a silver rune, this bottle could be a bottle of air, a decanter of endless water, an efreeti bottle, an eversmoking bottle, or an iron flask. AG 19 Flask will be another choice for some of these.

HH103 - The large dark crystal ball with an inner blue radiance is a natural for the various crystal balls, but it also works for the orb of storms.

HH105 - A rough-cut gemstone with an eroded center, this item suggests the chaos diamond, the gem of seeing, and the stones of alarm, controlling earth elementals, and good luck.

IP51 - Rough-cute amber with shining lights inside is probably the closest thing to the geometric ioun stones, and it's also my recommendation for the elemental gem and the gem of brightness.

RW 102 - This oblong, smooth, white pearl hums with power, and is perfect for the pearls of power.

RW103 - A perfectly round black sphere that absorbs light, this pearl is a good backup for the pearls of power, but it's also a possibility for a bead of force, a pearl of the sirines, a portable hole, or a well of many worlds. It is close to the DMG description of iron bands of binding, although the Adventure Gear Manacles are closer thematically. I'm also contemplating a foil version of it for a sphere of annihilation.
