Sarigsbane

Sarigsbane is an ointment used to enhance the properties of Armor on Midkemia. It can be used in Betrayal at Krondor.

Description
Sarigsbane is a yellow ointment stored in a spherical sheep's-gut bulb and released through a corked glass tube. It is dabbed onto armor with a circular motion, and numbs the fingers of any person touching it. It is commonly attributed the ability to counteract enchantments placed on weapons.

Literature
Sarigsbane is mentioned in Chapel's Rmur n Whepuns as able to neutralize both Frosted Blades and the poison of the Silver Spider.
