Encyclopedia Magica: Amulet of Two Fingers

 

Amulet of Two Fingers

Wondrous Item, Uncommon (requires attunement)

Aura: Minor Transmutation

These amulets, normally made of obsidian or hematite, represent the two fingers of Horus, the god of the sky. As an action, you can command the amulet to transform into a ladder, which extends 100 feet in a direction you choose. The ladder is anchored in place, allowing it to be placed safely at any angle (even horizontally) without risk of falling. The ladder can hold up to 1,000 pounds at a time. If the ladder ever carries more weight than that, it transforms back into an amulet.

The ladder transforms back into an amulet after 1 hour or if you command it to do so as an action.

One more magic item converted from the 2e Encyclopedia Magica into 5e. So, hooray for portable ladders. Not exactly slippers of spiderclimb or boots of flying, but also probably not as much of a wrench in the gears of a DM who wants to use walls as a serious obstacle.
