An alchemist's glass is a beaker usually constructed
of green or blue glass with several small spouts near the bottom. Arcane
writing frequently covers the sides of the glass and sometimes includes the
command words required to use the glass to its full potential.
Whenever the glass is filled with fluids, powders, or
leaves, it mixes them together evenly. This occurs even if the materials in
question normally don't mix, such as oil and water (although in this case the
fluids separate normally as soon as they leave the glass). Infusions and teas
can be made in a single round if placed within the glass.
Additionally, each alchemist's glass has two command
words associated with it. The first command word causes the glass to break down
any liquid or potion it contains into its component parts. This effect
immediately destroys a potion but also reveals what ingredients were used in
the potion's creation. This command also removes the salt from seawater,
separates poisons from any liquids they're mixed with, and is sometimes used to
check the purity of fresh water.
The second command word causes separated materials to pour
from the bottom of the glass, each from a different spout. This can be helpful
when identifying unusual ingredients or when trying to purify a potable liquid.
If there are more components than spouts, as many components
as possible will drain out. When the second command word is spoken again,
another round of components pours from the spouts.
The second command word can be used repeatedly until all of
the components have been separated.
