  • You can still achieve fire vulnerability by first making a character fire resistant, then applying Arsonist's Oil and then removing character's fire resistance. This can be done to an enemy at least by first throwing a Elixir of Fire Resistance and then later some other elixir at it or by applying Arsonist's oil on a target which has 1 turn of Wet Wet left and no native fire resistance.
  • One of several references to the gnome adventurer Lupperdiddle Swires. Others appear in the descriptions of the Potion of Glorious Vaulting, the Swiresy Shoes and Swires' Sledboard. "Swires" is a reference to the Discworld books.
  • This coating can be used by wild shapes but it does nothing on attack.
