In SLASH'EM, The Wallet of Perseus is an unaligned artifact whose base type is a bag of holding. It works like any other bag of holding, only better. With the given BUC status below, where x is the combined normal weight of all items in the Wallet, the Wallet's actual weight will be:

  • Blessed (x + 5) / 6
  • Uncursed (x + 2) / 3
  • Cursed 4x

A blessed bag of holding uses the above formula, but divides its weight by 4 not 6, so The Wallet of Perseus can hold roughly 50% more than a regular bag of holding. For pack-rats (of the '@' kind, not the 'r' kind), this is an extremely useful artifact, though obviously not one which directly aids in survivability. For some characters (depending on alignment, and early game needs), it may even be worth spending a second or third wish to acquire. It is certainly a must-have for every self-respecting thief.
