Fire Hummus (3.5e Equipment)

Fire Hummus
Summary::This fine paste glows molten red. In spite of that it is not hot, only a little spicy.

This hummus is actually made of ground up giant fire beetles, tahini, olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and garlic. It is eaten fresh (within 1d6 days) where it retains its characteristic red glow. It is often eaten with flatbread or chips.

Those who eat fire hummus begin to emit a dull red light akin to a torch for the next 24 hours. Many believe the glow is a sign of good health, and that one's condition or future can be determined by looking for irregularities in the strength and pattern of the glow on the body. Also, they're great for sweet rave parties.

Proper preparation is a DC 10 Craft (Cooking) check. Failing the check by 10 or more means the paste is spiced incorrectly. It will still have its effects, but taste bad.

If you manage a Craft (Cooking) DC 40, the eater can emit a blinding flash of light as a standard action out in a 30 ft radius centered on themselves, with a Reflex save against blinding for 1d4 rounds (save negates). Using this ends the glow prematurely. The DC is Constitution based. A meal's worth of fire hummus (not including bread or chips) is Cost::1g.
