Ammonia was a gaseous substance that could be found in the Realms.[2]
Description[]
In its gaseous state, ammonia was semi-poisonous with a terrific smell that would induce tears in those exposed to it.[3]
Availability[]
Druids had alchemical techniques for creating gaseous ammonia by breaking down coal.[4] Crystallized ammonia could be distilled from the horns of oxen[3] and the antlers of deer.[5]
An alchemy jug could be made to produce liquid ammonia.[6][7]
Usage[]
- As a semi-poisonous gas, ammonia was considered useful for "smoking out" enemies in enclosed spaces.[3]
- Smelling salts were a crystallized form of ammonia used for medical purposes. Exposing an unconscious individual to gaseous ammonia or its salts would wake them to consciousness, even from a sleep spell.[4]
Creatures[]
- Foulwings could exhale ammonia.[2]
- Fungi produced ammonia by breaking down decomposing organic matter.[8]
- Gibbering mouthers gave off an odor that was reminiscent of ammonia, among other substances.[9]
