Mercury Patch

Created by DigbeytheNomad

These innocuous-looking adhesive patches appear as ordinary medical bandages, each measuring six centimeters square and sealed between protective wax paper backing. When activated by peeling away the outer layer, the patch's adhesive surface reveals a carefully contained measure of quicksilver that reacts violently with a specialized chemical catalyst embedded in the inner lining. This alchemical reaction produces an extraordinarily potent corrosive effect capable of consuming nearly two kilograms of aluminum in less than five minutes, leaving minimal trace evidence of sabotage. The patches are designed to be applied discreetly to structural elements, hull plating, load-bearing beams, or mechanical components, where they work silently and efficiently to compromise integrity and cause catastrophic failure. Their diminutive size—weighing merely a third of an ounce each—combined with their mundane appearance makes them nearly impossible to detect through conventional magical detection or trained beast companions. Mercury Patches are sold in convenient quantities of four, ten, or fifty units, priced at sixty credits per individual patch, making them an economical choice for those seeking discrete sabotage capabilities.
