Slime Jam
"Ploop. Ploop. Ploop," the child laughs, "Sticky."
Slime Jam is the by-product of Slimes and Blobs. This sticky, thick substance is a special organ of the Amorpho creature minced into a jelly. This organ is easy to remove and contain inside a glass vial. A Slime may produce 1-2 vials while a Blob can reproduce 2-5 vials of this precious substance.
Slime Jam is a gourmet ingredient for many dishes, absorbing the flavors. Fruit and meats are particularly delicious when served in Slime Jam. Color variants of Slime Jam, as well as Arcane variants of Slime Jam, are even more treasured for their additional properties.
In Alchemical Items, Slime Jam is invaluable as an Alchemical component, providing excellent bases for potions, oils, glues and adhesives. Powerful solvents are usually required to move the glues and pastes made by the synthesized compound.

So what are the additional properties of the color variants?
Good Question! Colored Slime Jam has elemental/ magical affinities, so I'll have to give that some extra consideration! Thank you for the engaging question! Slimes are some of the oldest creatures in Pathon, so I'll be looking at them inevitably in the Ice Age!
