    This is so weird. And i love weird.
    Here’s a random magic item for this kind of weird.

    The Backdoor:
    The backdoor is a 10x20cm wooden icon depicting a door. When pressed on a flat surface bigger than 3x3m, a 1,5x3m doorway appears at that point.
    Beyond the doorway an indefinite number of 3mx3m rooms with openings on each wall, illuminated by a series of torches nailed to the walls that crumble if touched.
    The silence is absolute, apart from the slow crackling of the torches.

    Once you have crossed the threshold, you can remove the Backdoor to make the doorway disappear.

    Crossing these corridors is equivalent to moving on a plane congruent to the material plane (1m of movement in this plane corresponds to 1m in the material plane).

    Positioning the Backdoor again on a wall or on the floor allows you to reopen the doorway at that point in the material plane, except if the path to the other side is blocked (example: the floor do not have a room below).

    Whenever a creature enters or passes into a new room, roll a D6, starting from the "Unsettling" table.

    Unsettling
    1: Something is moving. From now on this creature rolls on the "Weird" table
    2: Strange noises. The next roll on this table subtracts 1 from the final result
    (min 1).
    3: All the same. You are moved to an adjacent random room. (Roll a D8 clockwise where 1 is the room to the north. This move does not count for rolls on the table)
    4: That was close. A cry in the distance. You were lucky.
    5: One of the rooms reveals a humanoid skeleton. It won't be there the next time you return to that spot.
    6: Everything is silent. Nothing is happening.


    Weird:
    1: Movements close. From now on this creature rolls on the "Dangers" table.
    2: Disturbing noises. The next roll on this table subtracts 2 from the final result (min 1).
    3: All Complete. You are rejected from this dimension, returning to the material plane.
    If the point is occupied, take 2d6 bludgeoning damage and are rejected at the point from which you started.
    4: Chills. A cold shiver runs through your back.
    5: Shadows. Something is moving on the edge of your sight.
    6: Something is wrong. The lights become dim and remain so on each subsequent visit.

    Dangers:
    1: Marked. Exit. Don't return. Don't change rooms. Exit. Forget the Backdoor.
    2: Hunted. The next roll on this table subtracts 3 from the final result (min 1).
    3: Mind Freeze. You take 1d12 points of cold damage and are stunned for one round.
    4: Dark: For one round all the lights go out.
    5: Breathe. A cold breath blows on your neck.
    6: Something has changed. All walls have traces of humanoid blood.
