Hidden Arsenal

This spell (Assuming (Refplace's) Path of Crossroads 20) would grant a 112lb. Payload, that could hold the subjects armor, weapons and gear (that are present at the time of the casting), any of which can be instantly ready to hand, and armor or clothing items worn. While stored, the items impose no encumbrance, and cannot be detected without Crossroads magic. While in use, the items extra-dimensional anchor make the items only count as half weight for encumbrance purposes. The strong mystical tether causes any item to return to the payload after 3 seconds should it go beyond a distance of 3 yards from the subject of the spell.

Lesser Create Crossroads for a (literal) Pocket Dimension. +6
Altered Traits (Payload 14 (BL Based on Path of Crossroads; Cosmic, Extra Dimensional +50%) [21]), +21
Lesser Control Crossroads to limit it to Subject's use. +5
Lesser Control Magic to keep items from scattering to the four winds if the effect is dispelled. +5
Lesser Control Matter to reduce weight for encumbrance and instant-ready from the payload. +5
Added Weight (Up to 100lbs) For lightening items external to the payload. +2
Duration 1 month +11

6+21+5+5+5+2+11 = 55

With Refplace's Hermit's worst path involved at 15, at -1 for three paths, +4 for the grimiore I'm buying him, that's affective skill 18. Assuming he uses his Mana Reserve, that's under his Safe Threshold.
