Arsonist's Oil

Arsonist's Oil is a Consumable (Coating). It can be applied to a weapon to give it special properties for ten turns.

'It was then that Swires tossed the oil. It splattered the cambion, and all at once its skin of brilliant carmine dulled to dark, a red like cheap wine, and the fiend vented this sound of anguish I almost pitied, for its very affinity to fire was now undone.'

Notes

• Fire vulnerability against a target can still be achieved by first making it fire resistant, then applying Arsonist's Oil and then removing its fire resistance. This can be done by first throwing a Elixir of Fire Resistance, and then some other elixir at it (thus overwriting the prior elixir's effects) or by applying Arsonist's oil on a target which has 1 turn of  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.
