Wondrous item, uncommon major

The stepladder is a magical construction of wood that can function either as a 5-foot ladder or a 5-foot bridge. You can engage in 1 minute ritual to match with this stepladder, causing it to disappear into extradimensional space. The stepladder can only be matched with one creature at a time.
     When you walk or run into difficult terrain, a body of calm water, or obviously dangerous surfaces like a spiked floor, thematched stepladder instantly appears beneath your feet, protecting you from that terrain without impeding your movement. In effect, this creates a 5-foot square of safe ground over any hazardous ground. The stepladder will only appear in an otherwise unoccupied space.
     The stepladder is as buoyant as a raft, but it does not float in midair. Instead, it only lays directly on the hazardous surface from which it endeavors to protect you. As such, it may not protect you from pits, sudden drops, or other dangers devoid of ground or fluid.
     The stepladder disappears once you return to safe ground. If you step off of the stepladder into dangerous terrain, it will neither move nor disappear.
     You can use your action to speak the command word, causing the stepladder to disappear if it is present, or appear beneath you if it is not present.
