It can be used to transmogrify all the items in your chest at once (also done automatically when you change level), costing 0 power out of 1000/1000.

This chest is an extension of old Sher'tul places of power. Any items dropped inside are transported to an other place, processed and destroyed to extract energy.

Simply go to your inventory to move them out of the chest if you wish to keep them.
Items in the chest will not encumber you.
