Word BottleSource Ultimate Equipment pg. 325 Aura moderate evocation; CL 7th Slot none; Price 1,500 gp; Weight 1 lb.DescriptionThis fragile glass flask encloses a single scrap of worn parchment
held in place by a taut metal wire threaded through its cork
stopper. As a full-round action, a spellcaster can cast a targeted
language-dependant spell of 3rd level or lower into the flask as
a full round action, which covers the parchment with magical
writing and charges the flask with power. The flask cannot be
used with spells that have a casting time longer than 1 full round.
Any of the spell’s variables that are determined by its caster
(such as commands given to the spell’s target) are decided when
the spell is cast into the bottle.
The charged flask can be thrown as a splash weapon with a
range increment of 10 feet. The flask shatters and is destroyed
upon impact, releasing the stored spell. A creature struck by the
flask is subject to the effects of spell contained within, just as if
it had been the target of the spell. Creatures within 5 feet of the
flask when it breaks hear whispery echoes of the spell’s words
and are also subject to its effects, though they receive a +5 bonus
on their saves to resist the spell. If the spell does not ordinarily
allow a save, creatures caught in the splash radius may still make
a Will save to negate it (with the +5 bonus).
