Temporal Draught

A slender glass vial filled with a shimmering, viscous liquid that shifts with blue-silver motes. The liquid seems to bend light around it, as if time itself were twisted inside. The stopper is a brass cap etched with a tiny hourglass that shivers when touched.

Temporal Daze For 1 minute after drinking, time feels distinctly slower to you. Your speed is halved. You take a -2 penalty to AC and to all saving throws. You can't use reactions. On your turn, you can take only a single action or a single bonus action, not both.

Lore

This potion was brewed by chronomancers who sought to prolong moments of courage and clarity. Tales tell of a master of time who used it to buy a few extra breaths during a doomed battle.

History

Created in the clockwork city of Ephes, by a guild of time-smiths who blend alchemy with runecraft. Hidden in a sun-bleached temple beneath an ancient ruined hourglass, it has since passed through the hands of scouts, mages, and treasure hunters who swear the world slowed around them when they drank.
