- STUDY: Recalling what you've heard about the slender phial, you believe you could hold or WEAR it for limited protection against the violent backlashes sometimes produced by sorcerous spellcasting. Additionally, you can occasionally CLEAN the phial to restore some of the absorptive capacity lost during the course of normal use.
- CLEAN (When not full): You gently buff your slender phial, and the liquid within glows softly in response. When the light dissipates, the phial is clearer than it was before.
- CLEAN (When timer isn't done): You gently buff your slender phial, but nothing happens.
- [The phial needs another few hours before it can be cleaned again.]
Focus
Although lacking a definite magical pattern, the liquid sealed within the slender phial seems highly reactive.
An inherent instability in its mana resistance indicates an ability to absorb the chaotic energies released during even the most severe sorcerous backlashes.
If Charged: You believe the phial has the capacity to absorb energy from up to X more backlashes, depending on their severity.
If Empty: You believe the phial has already absorbed as much backlash energy as it can, though.
Analyze
Upgrades
Use of a potency crystals with the phial will reduce the amount of time required between CLEANings.
The slender phial can be upgraded 4 times, and it has been upgraded 2 times so far. (possible bug, owner could not apply another stone)
The cooldown for CLEANing the slender phial cannot be reduced any further.
Recharge Info
An infuser stone can be used to remove some of the sorcerous impurities that accumulate within the phial during use, refreshing its ability to absorb backlashes.
If Full: An infuser stone would be ineffective now, because the slender phial is already perfectly clear and clean.
If Almost Full: You could apply an infuser stone to restore it to its original lucid state, but some of the infuser stone's potential will be wasted since the phial is already fairly clean.
If Not Full: You could apply an infuser stone to restore it to a hazy state.
