Restful Salve
Activate ◆ (manipulate)
A restful salve is a compound that can be applied to the skin to prevent undeath. If applied to a fresh corpse, the corpse doesn't decay, nor can it be transformed into an undead or otherwise controlled until the sun rises the next morning. If applied to a living creature, this salve lasts for only 1 hour due to the body's natural excretions. For that duration, the salve wards off effects that would cause undeath upon dying.
Traits
An item with this trait can be used only once. Unless stated otherwise, it's destroyed after activation. Consumable items include alchemical items and magical consumables such as scrolls and talismans. When a character creates consumable items, they can make them in batches of four.
Something with the magical trait is imbued with magical energies not tied to a specific tradition of magic. Some items or effects are closely tied to a particular tradition of magic. In these cases, the item has the arcane, divine, occult, or primal trait instead of the magical trait. Any of these traits indicate that the item is magical.
Oils are magical gels, ointments, pastes, or salves that are typically applied to an object and are used up in the process.
