Powder of the Black Veil (Magic Powder)

Powder of the Black Veil: This sooty, black powder causes temporary magical blindness to all those in the area of effect. If a creature's saving throw is successful, he suffers no effects. If the roll fails, the creature is blinded and suffers a -4 penalty to attack rolls, a -4 penalty to Armor Class, and a +2 penalty to initiative rolls. Blindness persists each round until the victim succeeds at a saving throw vs. spell, at which time the effect is instantly negated. An entire packet or blow tube must be used for each application.
Powders: Magical powders are usually stored in small paper packets, cloth pouches, or hollow blow tubes made of glass, wood, metal, or bone. A packet or pouch can be shaken out to cover the area all around the user to a radius of 5 feet. This action lasts an entire round. Note that powders used in this manner can affect the user.
Alternatively, powder in a tube can be blown outward in a ten-foot-long cone shape that is one foot wide at the apex and five feet wide at the end. Used in this manner, the powder has no chance of affecting the user (unless it rebounds on him due to wind or similar circumstances).
Powders may also be blown from the user's hand, but can only affect a single individual within five feet of the user.
