Aqua Tofani is a highly poisonous substance when derived and wielded by the expert Alchemist. Upon impact, the spellball shatters and the target creature is mortally wounded from the poisonous fumes. The toxin is so intense that anyone coming into direct physical contact (including gloves and excluding weapons) with the poisoned individual received a light wound to the limb that came into contact with the individual. Any spell caster attempting to heal the affected individual is immune to this secondary effect.
