How Barvius Got It:
One foggy morning after a hangover nap in a goat pen, Bar-Bar was approached by a sketchy traveling merchant with a big hood and no eyebrows.
"Psst.. want a Bag of Magic Missile?"
Bar-Bar blinked. "Heck yeah I do!"
The merchant handed him a small canvas pouch filled with a fine, glimmering white powder. Bar-Bar didn't question it. He was told, “Just throw a pinch and shout the words—you’ll see.”
The next time he got into a scrap, Bar-Bar shouted “MAGIC MISSILE!” and hurled a fistful of the stuff. The enemy started sneezing uncontrollably. A confused chicken ran into a wall. Bar-Bar was convinced: it works.
He has no idea it's just finely ground salt—possibly mixed with flour or powdered bone.
To this day, Bar-Bar swears it’s real magic and uses it theatrically, usually to no real effect—unless you count blinding or seasoning people.
Notes: Blinded, Contains 20 pinches of fine salt. When thrown, creatures within 5 ft must succeed on a DC 15 CON save or sneeze, cough, or tear up briefly (no mechanical effect unless the DM wants to homebrew it as disadvantage on next Perception or ranged attack). Bar-Bar insists it deals arcane damage and will argue with anyone who disagrees.
