Elixir of Burning Blood

Potion, Rare

This is a thin liquid that smells slightly of herbs and vinegar. It is a clear, golden hue with a layer of white and green particulate sediment laying sparsely on the bottom of the bottle, and a label that says, “Do not chill. Shake well before drinking.” Shaking causes the liquid to froth quickly in the bottle until it takes on a milky sheen and a velvety texture. The potion has a mild floral scent when mixed, but the aftertaste of zinc is bitter and strong.

This potion begins to seep into the bloodstream on contact with the mouth, and continues protecting the hero for 8 hours. A vampire that drinks the blood of a hero protected by this elixir will take radiant damage equal to the number of HP they would have gained from the attack.

This potion freezes at 40°F. If frozen, it needs to thaw at room temperature for 1d4 hours before use.
