Liquid Blade

Alchemical Weapon

Price: 40 gp
Weight: 2 lbs.
Construction: Craft (alchemy) DC 15

Description

You can empty the contents of this palm-sized metal tube with a quick flick of your wrist (a Move Action), causing the bubbling transparent liquid within to instantly solidify into a jagged crystalline blade. By holding the tube, you can then use the crystalline blade as if it were a Medium short sword with the fragile quality. The blade lasts for 10 minutes, after which it evaporates, leaving nothing behind but the tube. You can add one dose of poison to the liquid in the bottle, which acts like applying a dose of poison to a weapon except it is a Full-Round Action; when the liquid turns into a solid blade, the weapon includes one application of that poison. When the blade evaporates, the poison does so as well.
