Description

An Alchemist's creation, a Flash Vial is a thin vial of a white, thick liquid that is for the most part, harmless. When thrown to the ground and shattered, the liquid inside ignites in a bright, stunning flash.

Lore

Alchemists, while not necessarily possessing magical acumen, have discovered a number of ways to mimic magical spells, and in some cases create effects that not even a powerful wizard could hope to mimic. The Flash Vial has seen widespread use by military, adventurers and thieves since its inception.
