Pouch of Exalted Salts

Wondrous item, uncommon

A cheap leather bag that looks very much like a coin purse of sorts, a Pouch of Exalted Salts is a market staple! This small leather pouch contains mystical salts that respond to arcane energy. The pouch contains enough salt to sprinkle up to 5 times. If sprinkled on a magical or enchanted object or surface, the salts turn either green or red, to indicate a beneficial or harmful effect respectively. If three doses of salt are used at once, any 3rd level spell or lower is dispelled.

Lore

The commonfolk love their bazaars, fairs and markets, for it allows them to whiff the fragrance of the bountiful lands beyond their grasp. Pouches of Exalted Salts are readily used when farmers suspect their crop to be cursed or their cattle to be possessed. Hard-working miners delved these salts, pious priests exalted them and cunning swindlers keep the market stand, ready to take your coin.
