Dimmer Dust

• Cost: 50gp (or more, for higher level versions)
• Weight: 1/2lb lbs.

This small leather pouch is filled with a faintly glowing powder, with a small percentage of reactants that activate the dust. When used, dimmer dust may be sprinkled in a 5-foot square, which then becomes the center of the dust's effect. All bright or normal light within 30 feet of the activated dust is reduced to dim light, and any creature attempting to cast a spell that inflicts light damage or creates bright light in this area must succeed at a Caster Check versus a DC equal to a Challenging Skill Roll of the same Caster Level as the CL of the Dimmer Dust, or have spell's effect be negated. If dimmer dust is exposed to sunlight, it immediately becomes permanently inert. Each pouch contains enough dust for two applications.

If an application of Dimmer Dust is applied to creature, rather than a space, the alchemical magic interferes with the basic nature of the creatures fundamental makeup, rather than dimming or brightening light in a large area. This usage instead inflicts damage as noted below for the CL of the Dimmer Dust used

Higher level versions of this item offer improved damage and/or better saves (if applicable), but cost more, as described in the table below. The GM has final say over whether higher level versions are available in your location (or campaign).

You can purchase this item at a higher creator level than the minimum required to cast the spell. Doing so increases the potency of the item as described above, but also increases the cost, as follows:
