Greek Fire

Greek Fire is a powerful magical substance that one can brew if one needs a diversion (or smething else like a diversion).

Description
The potion, when brewed correctly, is a bright green, odorless, gel-like substance. It is usually stored in easily breakable clay or glass jars.

Effects
When thrown, the potion will EXPLODE into a bright green flame, creating an effective distraction and evasion tactic. Also, the explosion makes this an effective weapon as well.

Ingredients and tools

 * The pitch from five (5) old torches.
 * Eight (8) ounces of nectar.
 * One (1) ounce of alcohol.
 * One (1) ounce of salamander blood.
 * Twelve (12) grams of pine resin.
 * Seven (7) grams of sulfur.
 * Nine (9) grams of niter.
 * Fifteen (15) grams of calcium phosphate.
 * Five (5) grams of quicklime.
 * Three (3) ounces of lard.
 * Seven (7) ounces of napalm gel.
 * Eight (8) ounces of fireberry juice.
 * Three (3) drops of pure ichor (Greco-Roman is preferred, but any will do).
 * A catalyst (usually lightning/electricity).

Recipe

 * 1) In a copper cauldron, mix the nectar, alcohol, and ichor together and bring it to a boil.
 * 2) Add the pitch, pine resin, salamander blood, and sulphur.
 * 3) Mix the lard, gel, and berry juice into a paste, then add it to the potion.
 * 4) Add the niter, calcium phosphide, and quicklime to the mix, then run about one lightning strike’s worth of electricity through it.

Note
This is the only potion known so far that doesn’t need a Latin incantation to finish it. Anyone that uses storm and/or lightning and/or electric magic can create it.
