Fumes of Favorable Aspect

One of the five common magical fumes, this is a powder of 7 drs. each of frankincense and myrrh that only works when burned in a brazier or other fire. It gives the user +1 on saves when summoning or evoking hostile beings, and like fragrant oils it can be burned as part of the offering before a summoning ritual for an extra bonus.

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.
