Potion of Memory Wipe

Charges: 1 (regains at never)

A small, pearly-glass vial filled with a shimmering liquid that shifts between pale lilac and silver as you tilt it. The stopper bears a wax seal etched with a wispy, cloud-like motif. When uncorked, the scent is faintly metallic and sweet, like rain on stone. The liquid swirls, and tiny motes dissolve into the air.

Memory Erasure (Witnesses) After you drink this elixir, for the next 24 hours any creature that has seen you within the previous 24 hours must succeed on a DC 15 Wisdom saving throw or have no memory of your presence during that period. Affected creatures cannot recall encounters with you or recognize you as having been present, though other facts remain unchanged. The erased memory includes your face, gait, and any obvious actions you took; memories return and normalize after 24 hours. If a witness is under effects that already alter memory, the save may have advantage or disadvantage as appropriate.

Lore

In the old city of Umbra, memory-smiths crafted potions to help witnesses forget their fear and to keep culprits from being remembered after a crime. This prototype elixir is rumored to grant privacy by erasing a target's presence from the memories of those who observed them, rather than erasing the memories of the witnesses themselves.

History

Created by a forgotten alchemist named Lysander Veil, who vanished after a failed coup. Some claim he drank his own creation to vanish from history; others say patrons erased him from public memory. A cracked vial surfaced with a thieves’ guild, sparking a string of mysterious amnesia rumors across the region.
