An alchemist shapes a clay golem beside copper furnaces and a homunculus in a jar, with whales drifting past a sunken city beyond.

Dust of Uncontrolable Itching

Alchemy, Alchemical dust

Has the same effect as the itching toxic powder, but lasts longer.

Also called Uncontrollable Itching

From the book

Mixed from 6 drs. of marsh crow's foot on the dust base, this dust acts like the toxic Powder of Uncontrollable Itching but lasts a full hour. That powder causes such maddening irritation that victims must save vs Will each minute or be unable to focus on fighting, spellcasting and the like. One dose covers a 10-foot cube, and a save vs Constitution avoids it.
