Dust of Confusion
Alchemy, Alchemical dust
Leaves victims so muddled they seldom manage to act.
From the book
A cloud of this dust leaves its victims utterly bewildered and unable to make up their minds: each has only a 10% chance of settling on a course of action and actually carrying it out. The effect lasts 1 hour. The recipe adds 2 drs. of powdered mercury and 2 cts. of powdered amethyst to the dust base; one dose fills a 10-foot cube, and a save vs Constitution avoids it.
