Oil of Petrification (Magical Liquid)

Hallam invented the formula for this oil after a fortunate (for him) encounter with a basilisk. Seeing the possibility of incapacitating foes without harming them, Hallam devised this recipe. The oil has the effects of a basilisk gaze on one person. When a full dose touches flesh, a save vs. petrification must be made. If failed, the victim is turned to stone; a successful save results in no adverse effects. The oil is typically sealed in a breakable ceramic flask and thrown as a grenade, though the bottle must be a direct hit to have any chance of being effective; splashes have no effect.
A successful dispel magic spell against 12th level magic negates the oil's effect. However, a successful system shock roll must be made to survive the transition back to flesh. A victim affected by this oil radiates magic under a detect magic or similar spell.
