Hovering Gas (Alchemy)

Sometimes you desperately need to poison someone, and just can’t find the right moment to slip something into their food or drink. Chucking it at them will work, but only if you prepare properly.

Type: Apply

An improved version of the Gas Cloud formula, Hovering Gas creates a thick, heavy cloud that surrounds the target hit with the vial. When combined with any of the same herbal mixtures usable with Gas Cloud, a throwable chemical bomb is formed, able to release the substance directly upon whomever it strikes, even outdoors. Similar to Gas Cloud, when an herbal mixture is combined with a Hovering Gas, the call when it is thrown is “Alchemical [Herbal Mixture] Poison!” The Phys-rep for Hovering Gas (combined with an Herbal mixture or not) is an orange spell packet. Anyone can combine an Herbal mixture with a Hovering Gas mixture with a minute count. Once combined, the two mixtures are inseparable, and the tags for each should be attached together.
