All That Glitters

From Curious Pastimes Wiki
Name All That Glitters
Form Powder
Onset 1 minute
Duration 1 hour
Ingredients 1 gentian, 1 hemlock, 3 powder
Cost 4 work units
Key words Imbuement
Description Said to have been created by an alchemist seeking the Philosopher’s Stone, this powder, if rubbed over one dagger-sized or smaller metal object, gives metal items the appearance of pure gold for the duration of the effect.


The ruse fools cursory observation, but can be detected by close investigation with the Jeweller or Evaluate skills, or by magic (e.g. the spell Identify Materials).
