The White Phial (Item)

The White Phial is an ancient relic in , said to contain the first snow to fall from the Throat of the World. Any liquid dropped within the phial is instantly amplified and purified.
==Acquiring the artifact==
Nurelion, proprietor of The White Phial sends the Dragonborn to seek the item and bring it back to him. Nurelion spent the majority of his life searching for the phial. During the quest, the Dragonborn locates the White Phial in the Forsaken Cave, as well as a Word Wall containing a part of the dragon shout Marked for Death. After recovering the item, they discover that it is cracked, but return it to Nurelion anyway. Upset, Nurelion only pays the Dragonborn 5 for recovering the artifact, although after talking to Quintus, the Dragonborn receives a further 500 making the total, 505 septims.
==Repairing==
After the Dragonborn completes The Throat of the World quest, a courier arrives with a message from Nurelion's apprentice, Quintus, telling you to go talk to him. After that he tells you the necessary ingredients for repairing the phial.
*Briar Heart
*Unmelting Snow
*Mammoth Tusk Powder
===Reward===
Recovering these ingredients, Quintus successfully reconstructs the phial. Nurelion dies shortly after. As a reward, the Dragonborn receives the phial, which contains an unlimited potion of their choice, that refills itself once per day.

==Trivia==
*The lasting effects chosen for the White Phial do not overwrite the same effects that are carried by other potions, the bonuses will stack instead.
==Bugs==
*Attempting to use the White Phial in the Character Menu when it is empty will cause the empty phial to duplicate itself. The Original Phial will continue to refill as usual, but duplicates will not. This may also occur when the Phial refills itself normally.
**Duplicated Phials have weight, and can be dropped, sold, or stored in containers.
*Attempting to place the phial on cupboards, wardrobes and other surfaces as decoration may result in the White Phial disappearing.
*If, after being given the 5 septims by Nurelion, you can tell Quintus that you were only paid 5 septims, you will receive an additional 500. Afterwards, you may also be able to tell him that you were happy to help, after which you will receive another 500.
*After Nurelion dies, and Quintus asks you which properties you would like the phial to have, selecting an option and immediately exiting dialogue with him will cause him to reinitiate conversation and reward you with another phial of your choosing.
*Extremely rarely, the White Phial might be sold by a random merchant, even if the player already has the White Phial and never sold it. It can be purchased and will function just as the "real" phial does from the quest, depending on which potion it is filled with.
*If one exits the conversation with Quintus without choosing what potion to be in the phial, there is a chance that the Dragonborn will not receive it and can no longer open the dialogue option to acquire the phial.
