Fire Grease

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

Fire Grease ignites sluggishly when it is waved around, such as when it is applied to a weapon used in combat. Note that fire grease will magically ignite and burn even under water, but it burns slowly and is unsuitable for use as a splash weapon or as ammunition in an alchemical weapon.

A creature can apply a flask of fire grease to a weapon as a standard action in combat, wreathing the weapon in dull reddish flames until the end of the combat. If sheathed, the flames die away, but will appear again when the weapon is drawn, and so the grease may be applied between combats if desired.

Fire grease deals 1 point of bonus fire damage per CL of the item on each successful attack made with the weapon until the end of combat. If the grease is applied to a creature's or characters natural weapons or unarmed strikes, the creature or character ALSO takes 1 point of fire damage per CL of the grease each round (though its fire immunity or resistance still applies).

For low level examples, this is a minor effect, but can be extremely useful for applying fire damage to trolls, or burning away webs, for example. If a more deadly effect is required, higher level versions of Fire Grease can be purchased, and since they inflict one point of fire damage per CL of the vial, although this can get expensive quickly...although inflicting dozens of points of bonus fire damage on every hit adds up quickly!

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:
