As a subject, RTC can add "lifetime" to new object that item is disappeared or be executed action when its lifetime is expired. I made a code that magical item appears when you cast specify magic, and disappears when spell duration is expired.
Here are two different sample codes.(Behavior is almost same.)
Sample code:

I wish I could made these codes with adding lifetime like RTC, But I am not sure if DSB has it and tweak it.
Does DSB has object "lifetime" like RTC?

You'll want to use an expire message. You have to do a bit more work than in RTC, but it's also more flexible.

By default, an object receiving an expire message simply disappears, which is often what you want, but you can write code to do anything else, too.

Wow! This is what I REALLY want to!
Thanks to add utility on_events for DSB!
P.S.
What a shame! Item disappearance with these on-events has some trouble while watching the item on eye-icon.

It keeps trying to view the item even though it is now nonexistent. I'll fix that.
