Fragrant Oils
Alchemy, Magical mixture
Anointed on the forehead and sprinkled in the protective circle, it helps the user resist hostile beings he summons or evokes.
From the book
Fragrant oils are made by blending myrrh, cinnamon and olive oil (1 dr.). The user anoints his forehead with them and sprinkles some inside his circle of protection, gaining +1 on saves when he summons or evokes hostile beings. They are one of the optional precautions a caster can add to the offering that opens a summoning ritual. The oils must be kept in crystal cruets or vials.
Magical mixtures are prepared with a mortar and pestle, a small cauldron or crucible and a dependable heat source such as a lamp or furnace. Each takes a day to make, with a 90% chance of success plus 1% per level of ability (99% at most), and every one of them gives off a faint magical aura. Most sell for 100-200 G.P., the price depending on the quality of the ingredients.
