Infusion — see Artifice for the rules and the Infusion List for the full list.

By smearing this infusion on a creature or object the concoctor can extinguish a single ongoing spell or spell-like effect (including those caused by infusions, ceremonies, or techniques). If used on an unattended object, a willing creature, or an object held by a willing creature, the concoctor can choose which ongoing effect on that creature or object becomes the target of this infusion. If the counterspelling salve is used against an unwilling target (or object held by an unwilling target), the concoctor must make a successful attack throw. On a successful throw, one random effect on the target becomes the target of this infusion.

Once the target spell is determined, the caster must make an attack throw versus that effect, treating it as a creature with AC equal to the target’s caster level minus the concoctor’s level. If this attack throw succeeds, the spell or effect is extinguished. If it fails, the counterspelling salve has no effect.

Some spells or effects cannot be ended by counterspelling salve. These include spells or effects that are not cast on creatures or objects, curse spells or effects, petrification spells or effects, and quest spells or effects, as well as magic items with effects of permanent duration and diseases caused by spells or effects. Counterspelling salve can be used to extinguish spells or effects on a creature or object made permanent by ritual magic only if the caster is of higher level than whoever made the effect permanent.
