Dust of Emotional Influence: Antipathy

Alchemy, Alchemical dust

Victims turn hostile and uncooperative toward the first creatures they meet.

From the book

The hostile form of the emotional-influence dusts: victims turn unfriendly and refuse to cooperate with the first creatures they encounter, for 1 hour. The alchemist mixes 2 cts. of powdered amethyst with powdered lichen and larch, 6 drs. of each, into the dust base. One dose settles over a 10-foot cube, and a save vs Constitution lets a target resist.
