Potion of Smoke-Seer's Clarity

by Frazer 👁 222 views

A small, perfectly round glass vial holds a pale blue liquid that swirls with pale, ghostly smoke. The liquid glimmers like morning dew when held to light. The stopper is a polished hematite cap etched with wind-glyphs, and the label reads 'Smoke-Seer's Clarity' in silver ink. When uncorked, a faint, fresh scent of rain and ozone wafts from the bottle.

Clear Sight Through Smoke For 1 hour after you drink this potion, you can see through smoke, fog, and mist as if they were transparent. The obscuring effects of smoke or fog are ignored for vision, and you can see normally out to 60 feet.

Lore

This draught was first crafted by a reclusive wind-sage who dwelt where the city met the sea of clouds. Merchants claim that it was used by scouts to pierce the smoke-plumes that shielded rival camps, while airships crews used it to peer through fog banks in harbors.

History

The formula originated in the Gossamer Alchemy Guild, where the alchemist Lysar Vane mixed powdered cloud-iron with distilled essence of rain. A batch was gifted to the Ashen Watch, a clandestine order of rangers who patrolled fog-choked passes. It vanished for decades before resurfacing in the vaults of a ruined fortress, still potent.
