Frozen Fire
Description and Effects:
Frozen fire is a close cousin of the volatile substance known as Alchemist’s Fire. In liquid form, the substance has a pale green color that emits a faint glow and is usually slightly cooler to the touch than its surroundings. Frozen Fire’s primary function is to replicate the effects of Alchemist’s Fire, albeit in a more controlled manner. This is accomplished by the addition of various inhibitors during the brewing process, which make the substance almost completely inert and stops spontaneous explosions due to motion while they are present. However, the inhibitors blocking the reaction begin to break down with the addition of heat. Usually, the fire of a torch or candle or particularly bright sunlight will trigger combustion. When transported, it is best to keep it covered and away from sources of heat. When the inhibitors break down, the substance uses the air around it to combust. If in a container and activated it will most likely shatter and splatter the substance in the immediate vicinity, causing adjacent containers of the substance to combust as well due to the rising temperature. When activated, Frozen Fire burn at an extremely hot temperature, almost as hot as Alchemist’s Fire. Thus, the only one effective method of containing the substance once released, apart from letting it burn up, is to smother it with large quantities of sand with water having little to no effect.
For obvious reasons, one shouldn’t attempt to consume the substance in any way. In addition to its volatile nature, it is toxic and lethal ingestion will lead to a painful death within a couple of hours. This toxicity however can’t be used effectively as a discreet poison to kill another, as one must consume at least 4 mL of pure Frozen Fire to ensure death and it has a foul smell that can’t be masked. A lesser dosage will simply cause one to vomit and feel nauseous for a couple of days. While Frozen Fire seeps into materials such as cloth, wood, porous stone, and even hair to increase flammability, being covered in the substance is not a death sentence. In liquid form, the substance can be easily washed away by water, though one should dispose of the water as Frozen Fire will float to the top.
