An oil is a magic liquid that produces its effect when applied to an item. Oils vary incredibly in appearance. An oil can be used only once.
Oils are like spells cast upon the object. The character applying the potion doesn’t get to make any decisions about the effect—the caster who brewed the oil has already done so. The person applying the oil is the effective caster, but the object is the target.
Activation: Applying an oil requires no special skill. The user merely removes the stopper and smears on the oil.
