Aqua fortis, also known as nitric acid, was a highly corrosive liquid substance known in the Realms.[1]
Properties[]
This substance was typically yellow in color,[1] but could range to orange-brown or clear.[2][3] Though highly corrosive, aqua fortis was not potent enough of an acid to melt through gold and platinum.[1] However, in a sufficiently concentrated form, it could inflict immediate injuries to a victim, especially if ingested.[2]
Crafting[]
Aqua fortis could be distilled from alum and nitre using oil of vitriol.[1]
Usages[]
- Aqua fortis was one of the ingredients needed for brewing aqua regia, a more potent form of acid, alongside nitre and sal ammoniac.[1]
- Aqua fortis was often used in the process of refining metals or giving them etchings.[1]
- The acid was also used for staining bone and wood.[1]
- Magic mirror used a sample of aqua fortis to cast.[4]
