Spellcaster’s Serum

Serums

Serums are vials of magic liquid that you can imbibe as a standard action or carefully trickle down the throat of a helpless or unconscious creature as a full action. Serums are normally 1 ounce of liquid (though it is possible to make serums with larger volumes, these are no more effective than standard serums), and lose potency if they are mixed with any other material. A serum can be used only once. Regardless of a serum’s actual item level, all serum vials have their hardness and Hit Points calculated as if they were 1st-level items.

A reaching spellcaster’s serum is red. The first time you cast a spell while this serum is in effect, you extend its range. If the spell has a range of close, the spell’s range is increased by 5 additional feet. If the spell has a range of medium, the range is increased by 10 additional feet. If the spell has a range of long, the range is increased by 40 additional feet. If the spell does not have one of these ranges, the spell is unaffected by the effects of this serum. If the spell affects an area, this increase to its range doesn’t alter the size of its area.
