Amberglass Reagent Case – The Price of Prophecy (Production)

UncommonMagical

Price 30 gp

Usage held in 2 hands during activation; Bulk L

A leather field case stamped with a Macridi apothecary’s seal holds a balance, brass pipettes, and amber-lined measuring vials designed to resist contamination from blighted sap. The reusable instruments fit into padded compartments.

Activate 10 minutes (exploration, manipulate)

Frequency twice per day

Requirements You have the advanced alchemy class feature, have a formula for a 1st-level alchemical consumable in your formula book, have access to your alchemist’s toolkit, and are performing your daily preparations.

Effect Using the advanced alchemy process, you prepare one additional 1st-level alchemical consumable whose formula is in your formula book. No additional raw materials or Crafting check are required. The consumable gains the infused trait, is separate from your normal advanced alchemy allotment, and remains potent for 24 hours or until your next daily preparations, whichever comes first.

Limitations The case creates one additional item per activation, not a batch or multiple copies. It does not produce versatile vials or change Quick Alchemy, your maximum versatile vials, or their regeneration.

Alchemist

Prerequisites trained in Crafting

Item benefit While you are an alchemist trained in Crafting and are carrying the reagent case, you gain the benefits of Alchemical Assessment. If you already have this feat, the benefits do not stack.

Effect When you use Crafting to Identify Alchemy on an alchemical item you hold, you can do so as a single action rather than spending 10 minutes.

This ability does not identify an item automatically, waive the Crafting check, provide new formulas, or increase your advanced alchemy allotment.

Range 10 feet

Targets 1 object (Cook, Lift, or Tidy only)

Duration sustained

You perform small magical effects, choosing one option each time you Sustain the spell.

Cook Cool, warm, or flavor 1 pound of nonliving material.

Lift Slowly lift an unattended object of light Bulk or less, 1 foot off the ground.

Make Create a temporary, crude, fragile object of negligible Bulk from magical substance. It cannot be used as a tool, weapon, or spell component.

Tidy Color, clean, or soil an object of light Bulk or less. Cleaning an object of 1 Bulk requires 10 rounds of concentration; larger objects take about 1 minute per Bulk.

The spell cannot deal damage or impose adverse conditions. Changes other than the listed exceptions last only while the spell is sustained.

The case casts this cantrip at rank 1. Prestidigitation cannot replace alchemical reagents, prepare an infused item, or neutralize an infernal seedling.

Special No investment is required. A creature without advanced alchemy can use the instruments as ordinary equipment and activate Prestidigitation, but cannot use Measured Reserve. The Alchemical Assessment benefit requires an alchemist trained in Crafting. The case grants no extra versatile vials or class resources. Measured Reserve’s daily uses belong to the item and do not reset when it changes hands.

GM Placement A guarded reagent cache in the Lower Works, or a gift from Morwenna Iron-Root.
