Mage shot

Mage shot was a name given to a variety of types of magical and alchemical substances that were used as ammunition in catapults or other similar siege weapons. They included ceramic pots that were filled with potions or destructive oils or that were otherwise magically enchanted.

Description
The ceramic pots used to store mage shot were notably light and durable. They would seldom shatter when stored or otherwise handled prior to being used in combat.

Mage shot was often used as an offensive weapon aboard spelljamming ships, with several types designed to damage a ship's hull.

Varieties
Oil of fiery burning • oil of impact • shatter shot • shrapnel shot • skunk shot • termite shot • warp shot

Trivia
Due to their large size, giants were capable of throwing mage shot as a projectile weapon.
