## Description
Found in a small packet, this powder resembles very fine sand. There is enough of it for one use.
When you use an action to throw a handful of the dust into the air, you and each creature that needs to breathe within 30 feet of you must succeed on a DC 15 Constitution saving throw or become incapacitated for 1d4 + 1 rounds. At the end of each of its turns, a creature incapacitated in this way must make another DC 15 Constitution saving throw. On a successful save, the incapacitation ends for that creature.
**Curse.** This dust looks exactly like dust of disappearance, and an identify spell reveals it to be dust of disappearance, though it is not. The dust's true nature is revealed only when it is used or by a wish spell.

## Properties
- Action: throw the dust — creatures within 30 feet that breathe make a **DC 15 Constitution save** or become **incapacitated for 1d4 + 1 rounds** (repeated save each turn to end).
- **Cursed** — appears to be Dust of Disappearance; even *identify* is fooled.
- Single use; no attunement required.
