Powder
| Main > Magic |
A powder is a single-use, use-activated magic item that is essentially a spell that has been infused into a handful of powder. The magical powder depends on the powder used to create it, ranging from sand to ash to dirt. Once created, powder is typically stored in a small glass vial 2 inches tall.
Activation: To be used, the powder must first be emptied into the user’s hand (a free action), where it is then thrown. Throwing the vial without emptying the powder first typically prevents the spell from activating.
The vial is not ammunition, and thus is generally retrieved in the same manner as a potion or scroll.
To use powder, the user must throw the powder at a target. The powder counts as a ranged weapon with a range increment of 10 feet. On a successful ranged touch attack, the spell is activated against the target. Due to the nature of the material, all penalties due to wind are doubled.
Creation: A powder may be crafted to contain a spell or a ritual. In either case it has a base cost of 50 gp.
