Flask of Epilepsy

The first flask of Epilepsy was invented by Zeisure Epilepsor, a Magus-Tir of the Conclave of Magi. He tried to create a light source that can shine for long periods of time. assisting in explorations of caves and mines. Unfortunately for Zeisure, upon inspecting the flask under sunlight he fell to the ground, vomiting and foaming in the mouth, dying of asphyxiation moments later. One of his assistants was present in the laboratory when the experiment took place and reported nausea and disorientation.

Manufacturing process

First, one must prepare a vacuum crystal, a costly and complicated magical process. Creating the mantle is fairly trivial but not less expansive, as it requires a single solid piece of a high metal (such as gold or platinum) to shape.
With both halves, the artificer then needs to wait for a thunderstorm and climb to a high enough location. Once a lightning strikes down, the artificer captures it into the vacuum crystal and seals it in place with the conductive mantle.
Every Flask of Epilepsy may capture different number of bolts and with varying intensities, depending on its size, materials and the capabilities of its maker.
