Description:	Also known as the Alkahest, the Universal Solvent is one of the great works of alchemy, a substance which will dissolve anything to its elemental constituants. While conventional alchemists argue this blasphemy cannot possibly be the true Alkahest, it remains the foremost manifestation of magical acid known to the Philosophers of the Knife. Similar to the rudimentary Acid Splash spell, this synthetic substance alters its makeup from one conjuration to another, thus making itself nigh-impossible to resist. As the catalyst, the caster is spared from the forces they have unleashed, but nothing else is.
Effect:	Puncture damage, Slice damage, Impact damage, Fire damage, Cold damage, Electrical damage, Cyclic AOE. Randomized damage types.
Example Messaging:	3rd person: <Necromancer> gestures. The air about <Necromancer> begins to bleed with bilious, deep green hues that oddly strain the eye. Alternating waves of hot and cold swirl through the area in abnormal patterns as greenish acid falls in a horizontal rain all around <Necromancer>! You lift your black shield too late, only blocking some of the acid. The wave deeply pits your chest as it blasts across you. You are stunned! 1st person: You gesture. You draw your spell matrix into a tight sphere around yourself, and the air about you shimmers with bilious, deep green hues. Alternating waves of hot and cold swirl through the area in abnormal patterns as greenish acid falls in a horizontal rain all around you!
Devices/Tattoos:	No devices or tattoos documented.

Notes

• Casting this spell inside a standard justice zone generates Social Outrage.
• Can be cast using TARGET [(area|all)|creatures|engaged]: when you are intending to attack [Everything and everyone | Only creatures | Only things that are engaged to you]

Messaging
Alternating waves of hot and cold swirl through the area in abnormal patterns as greenish acid falls in a horizontal rain all around you!
The hiss of bile-green droplets drowns out nearly all other sound as acidic showers erupting from around you soak everything in sizzling wetness!
A torrent of sizzling, bile-green acid sprays outward from you!
The greenish radiation around you burbles warningly before a sphere of hissing acid spews forth in all directions!
Sibilant jets of universal solvent spout from around you, dyeing the vicinity a fascinating shade of green!

Note: I don't believe the messaging reflects the type of damage done. I've had zombie stompers (who have full elemental resistance) get damage and fully resist from the same blasts. -TEVESHSZAT (talk) 11:49, 28 August 2016 (CDT)
