Alchemy Flask

An alchemy flask is a magical hip-flask that could produce a variety of liquid substances on command. It will create up to two types of liquid per day, with a daily total of 4 cups (806.4 grams) Typical alchemy flasks were made of pure silver. They had an apparent capacity of 2 pints (4 cups / 0.94635295 liter) and always made a sloshing sound when shaken, as if they were always filled with liquid. Upon speaking the name of the substance, the user could uncork the flask to pour it, at a maximum rate of 1 cup per minute. Once an alchemy flask produced its maximum daily amount of any liquid, it could only produce more after the following dawn. If you were in a place or plane that did not have a sunrise, a standard 24 hour day would still trigger the new use.

NOTE: 1 cup = 200 grams || A typical throw-able flask contains at least 450 grams (for example: a flask of acid or a flask of lamp oil)

The flask could produce the following substances:

ACID: Acid was a caustic liquid that could cause major and permanent scarring and possible death. The fumes of most acids were poisonous to breathe. It was more damaging to most objects than either fire or electricity. You can create two types of acid: Common and Aqua Regia.

Common Acid: As an action, you can splash the contents of this flask onto a creature within 5 feet of you. To do so, make a ranged attack against a creature or object, treating the acid as an improvised weapon. On a hit, the target takes 2d6 acid damage.

Aqua regia, otherwise known as royal water, was a type of highly corrosive substance in the Realms that was prized by alchemists and chemists. Only thick laboratory-style glass containers with glass stoppers can hold Aqua Regia safely. This substance was orange in color. Aqua regia was so potent an acid that it could melt through even gold and platinum, one of the few, if not only, known acids in the Realms capable of it. The acid was extremely dangerous to touch or consume, and tasted terrible.

Usages:
Aqua regia was used to refine and purify gold, and could completely dissolve gold to make dragon's blood. It was also used to dissolve alloyed platinum ore and refine it into the pure metal.
Small, safe amounts of aqua regia were used in various potable potions.
Finely-detailed metalwork such as coins and mechanisms were often etched using aqua regia.
Aqua regia was one of the ingredients needed for a complicated concoction that could magically preserve cockatrice feathers.
Besides its use as an alchemical agent, aqua regia could be used to weaken metal objects, such as iron door hinges, bars, or locks, allowing them to be easily broken or bent.
Aqua regia was used to refine tree resin into purified pitch.

As an action, you can splash the contents of this flask onto a creature within 5 feet of you, making a ranged attack against a creature or object, treating the acid as an improvised weapon. On a hit, the target takes 3d6 acid damage for two (2) rounds. NOTE: IF YOU DO THIS, THERE IS A RISK OF SPLASH DAMAGE TO EVERYTHING AND EVERYONE WITHIN 5 FEET OF THE TARGET, INCLUDING THE THROWER AND THE FLASK ITSELF, BOTH OF WHICH WILL HAVE TO BE ROLLED FOR WITH DISADVANTAGE. THE THROWER WILL HAVE A DC 14 (DEX w/ disadvantage) AND THE FLASK WILL HAVE A DC 18 (DEX of the thrower w/ disadvantage). A FAILURE ON EITHER THROW RESULTS IN THE DESTRUCTION OF THE FLASK. [Yes, this is extreme and the flask will most likely be destroyed if you attempt this, and this is to prevent the abuse of such a potent item.]

As an action, you can pour the contents of this flask into a thick laboratory-style glass container with glass stopper available. Unless you are also using a laboratory-style glass funnel to transfer said contents, you must roll a DC 15 (DEX) against spilling, otherwise the table, the contents of the table, and the floor beneath the table, and anything on the floor all take 3d6 acid damage for two (2) rounds. (NOTE: DM/GM's discretion if that includes the player's feet.) If you are doing this on a floor where there is ANOTHER floor below you, it is at the DM/GM's discretion if anything located on the lower floor ALSO takes damage. [USE THIS CAREFULLY!]

Regular lamp oil usually came in clay flasks that could hold up to 1 pint (473 ml) of oil. This amount was sufficient to power most typical lamps and lanterns for 6 hours. If a creature was covered in oil, its flammability increased the efficacy of attacks with fire upon it considerably. Food-based oils were also common. Types of oil you can create:

POISON: Poison was a substance that damaged or affected the abilities of a creature, either instantly or over time. A poison could be administered by contact, inhalation, ingestion, or through a wound. The ability to use poison effectively was a skill that had to be learned and a person utilizing such substances had a small chance of poisoning themselves. The effects of poisons varied widely, but common ones included paralysis, sleep, loss of ability, injury, or death. (NOTE: These are not ALL the types of poisons, just what are typically LIQUID. You CANNOT make powdered poisons come out. The prices are listed should you want to make money from the sale of said poisons. DM/GM's discretion.) You could choose from the following types:
