This strange and magical liquid appears to be some sort of minor oil or potion. Upon first examination, it seems to have the properties of both oil of slipperiness and a potion of delusion. However, if it is applied to any form of adhesive or sticky material, the solution will immediately dissolve it. Thus, for instance, the effect of sovereign glue will immediately be negated by this liquid, as will any other form of cement, glue, or adhesive. The area of effect of this liquid is one cubic foot per ounce, and a typical container holds 27 ounces.

If the liquid is carefully distilled to bring it down to one-third of its original volume, each ounce will dissolve one cubic foot of organic or inorganic material, just as if a disintegrate spell had been employed. To find if a target is affected by this concentrated solution, a normal attack roll is required, and the subject is entitled to a saving throw vs. spell. Inanimate objects are automatically affected by the solution, although if they are magical, a saving throw vs. disintegrate applies.

Also known as the ultimate solvent, this strange, magical liquid appears to be nothing more remarkable than some sort of minor oil or potion. In fact, upon first examination it seems to have the properties of both oil of slipperiness and a potion of delusion. However, it is applied to any form of adhesive or sticky material, the solvent immediately dissolves it. Thus, for instance, the effects of sovereign glue are immediately negated by this liquid, as are those of any other forms of cement, glue, or adhesive. The area of effect of this liquid is 1 cubic foot per ounce, and a typical container holds 27 ounces. If the liquid is carefully distilled to bring it down to half of its original volume, then each ounce will actually dissolve 1 cubic foot of material, organic or inorganic, just as if a disintegrate spell had been employed. To find if a target is affected by this concentrated solution, a successful attack roll is required, and the subject is then also entitled to a saving throw vs. spell. Inanimate objects are automatically affected by the solution; however, for such items of magical nature a saving throw vs. spell applies.
