Universal solvent,[2][3][4][5] also known as ultimate solution,[1] was a magical liquid that was similar to a potion or magical substance.[1][2][3][4][5]
Powers[]
This item appeared to have the properties of both oil of slipperiness and a potion of delusion if examined with magic.[1][2][3][4] What a dose of universal solvent would actually do was to dissolve any adhesive or sticky material that it was applied to. This included cement and magical substances such as sovereign glue,[1][2][3][4][5] as well as the goo from a tanglefoot bag and the adhesive made by kuo-toa.[5]
A single ounce of universal solvent would work on 1 cubic foot (0.028 cubic meters) of adhesive material. A typical container held 27 fl oz (0.8 L) of fluid. If distilled to one-third of its normal potency, one ounce would cause 1 cubic foot (0.028 cubic meters) of organic and inorganic material to disintegrate.[1][2][3][4]
Creation[]
Creating it required skill at crafting magical items and the spell disintegrate.[5]
