Nolzur's Marvelous Pigment (Magical Liquid)

These magical emulsions enable their possessor to create actual objects simply by depicting their form in two dimensions. The pigments are applied by a stick tipped with bristles, hair, or fur. The emulsion flows from the application to form the desired object as the wielder concentrates on the desired image. One pot of Nolzur's marvelous pigments is sufficient to create an object of 1,000 cubic feet by depicting it in two dimensions over a surface 100' square. Thus, a 10' x 10' rendition of a pit would result in an actual 10' x 10' x 10' pit; a 10' x 10' depiction of a room would result in a 10' x 10' x 10' room; and so on.
Only normal, inanimate things can be created-doors, pits, flowers, trees, cells, but monsters, people, golems, and the like can't be created. The pigments must be applied to a surface (a floor, wall, ceiling, or door).
From 1d4 containers of pigments are usually found, normally with a single instrument about 1' long with which to apply them. It takes one turn to depict an object with pigments. Objects of value depicted by pigments, precious metals, gems, jewelry, ivory, appear to be valuable but are actually made of tin, lead, paste gems, brass, bone, and similarly worthless materials. Normal armor or weapons can, of course, be created.
In a Dragonlance Campaign: Nolzur's marvelous pigments are called Branchala's paints on Ansalon.
