Alchemical Lantern 1-50

A round-bottomed glass flask with a stopper and a leather strap for tying to belts, harnesses, and the like. Inside is an alchemical solution that does not freeze, and emits a bright golden light if one gives it a vigorous shake. The solution retains its luminosity for a few hours when removed from the flask and can be applied to a variety of surfaces and objects to make them emit a faint golden glow. Technically, the contents of such a lantern can also be drunk, but that is as inadvisable as it is wasteful: while harmless, the liquid makes the drinker look like a jaundiced buffoon for months afterwards. A stoppered alchemical lantern removes BLACK added to checks due to darkness and sheds bright light in Short range. An open alchemical lantern or the contents of one spilled or painted onto an object or surface do not emit a strong enough glow to see by, but can be used for the purposes of deception and distraction.
