Description
A small alchemical vial of pearlescent fluid that smells faintly of orange peel and ozone. As an action, the contents may be poured onto any adhesive substance, instantly dissolving the bond regardless of its strength or magical nature. Universal solvent is the only commonly accepted counter to sovereign glue, and it also dissolves tanglefoot, pitch, magical glues, ooze residues, and bindings of similar nature. The vial holds a single application; once used, the empty container can sometimes be re-enchanted by a master alchemist. Adventurers exploring temples, fey palaces, or ooze warrens treat universal solvent as both a key and a get-out-of-trap card.
