Dust of Control (first listing)
Alchemy, Alchemical dust
Works like the matching Potion of Control.
From the book
Made with the ingredients of whichever Potion of Control the alchemist chooses, this dust behaves like that particular potion for 1 hour. Such potions let the user command 1-4 creatures of one specific kind, which obey until the magic ends and then turn fiercely hostile toward their former master. The dust is delivered by thrown vial, hand or blowtube over a 10-foot cube.
