Blinding Salt

One second of light is enough to lose a duel

Primary ingredient: White mica from Brazzant, ground into flakes and stabilized in clear oil.

This ampoule releases a metallic powder that ignites in a white flash. Throwing it is a general action of 1 tick. It illuminates a 10 ft radius around a point within 30 ft. Every creature that sees the flash makes a Reflex save against DC 15 to turn away or cover its eyes.

On a failure, a creature is blinded for 1 tick. A warned creature may close its eyes before the burst. It succeeds automatically but treats itself as blinded until the end of the current tick. Sightless creatures and those whose eyes are already protected are immune.

The salt produces real light, not an illusion; a Will save cannot see through it. In total darkness, the flash is visible from a great distance.
