A tindertwig is an alchemical tool used to easily light fires. [1]
Description
It is a tiny wooden stick with an alchemical substance applied to one end. [1]
Powers
When the alchemical substance is struck against something rough, it ignites automatically, much quicker than a flint and steel , let alone with a magnifying glass , and without additional tinder. They make lighting torches and other fires easier and faster. [1]
Creation
Related to alchemist's fire and smokesticks , tindertwigs require skill in alchemy and spellcasting to make. [2]
A burglar's vest can produce two already lit tindertwigs. [3]
Users
Tindertwigs are commonly carried by House Cannith magewrights [4] and Wayfinder Foundation explorers. [5]
The monk Groh had ten in his possession while aboard the Laughing Lady . [6]
Rrregla the Gasper usually has ten tindertwigs on her person, most likely for smoking her cigars. [7]
Notable Uses
Tindertwigs are commonly used in traps. The laboratory aboard the Golden Dragon [8] and in Victor Saint-Demain 's residence [9] were both trapped by attaching tindertwigs to the doorframes, so they would ignite when the door was opened and cause the gases released inside to explode. [8] [9]
Availability
Tindertwigs are worth 1 gp each. [1]
