Infobox data from game version 2.0.201.72

Molten wax is a semi-hot, commercially worthless, and sticky liquid. Items containing or covered in wax are waxen or waxy. Drinking it will increase the subject's temperature by 100°. It weighs 0.5 lbs per dram.

If a creature in the same phase as the wax steps on it, they must make a strength and agility save of difficulty 10 + drams/100 * 5. If they fail this save, they will become stuck for a maximum of 12 turns with a strength save of 10 * drams/100 every turn to break free.

It is one of the few liquids that can never be required in a cure for any illness or fungal infection.

If a pool of primarily wax is on the ground and the temperature drops below 25°(the base room temperature), the wax will cool into a wax block if the volume is greater than or equal to 200 drams, or a small wax nodule if smaller.

Sources of Molten Wax

• waxflab generates molten wax every few turns
• Furniture which has candles in it (like candelabras) will generate wax every 50-100 turns in the surrounding squares.
• wax weeps and giant wax weeps, which can be found in fungal biomes, the Rainbow Wood, historic sites, or occasionally in other locations. In a fungal biome, the dandy caps and spotted shagspooks around wax weeps will be white or bright white in color.
• The alchemist is guaranteed to have one dram of molten wax for sale.

Uses of Molten Wax

• Molten wax can be consumed or poured on oneself to warm up and safely remove the frozen status.
• Cold Blooded (D) characters can temporarily increase quickness by drinking or pouring molten wax on oneself.

Consuming Molten Wax

Drinking molten wax returns the following message:

It's hot and disgusting.

Doing so does not influence hydration in any way.
