A phial is a single-dram liquid container which can carry any kind of liquid. It is well suited to carrying rare or dangerous liquids, and is especially suited to carrying lava due to the fact that the phial is immune to temperature changes. Ocassionally, neutron flux may span inside phials. However, they are unable to hold them unless poured into from a magnetic bottle.

Throwing Vials

This article has information that is missing or not up to par.
Reason: Add more information about throwing vials, and the usage of thrown vials of dangerous liquids as weapons

When thrown, a phial will shatter upon impact, pouring whatever liquid it contained onto whatever it collided with.

Obtaining

• Several phials will be sold by an ichor merchant, at least one of which is guaranteed to spawn in the Stiltgrounds.
• The alchemist is guaranteed to sell several empty phials.

Tips

This section is opinion-based. Your mileage may vary.

• Phials are not the only safe containers for lava; any liquid-fueled cell is not affected by the temperature of the liquid it holds, and therefore can hold lava safely. Both cells and phials weigh #1 while empty, but cells hold 8 drams and phials hold 1 dram of liquid per item; this makes liquid-fueled cells more weight efficient for holding lava.
• Phials do not stack in the player's inventory, and can clog equipment or trade screens. This might be another reason to use liquid-fueled cells over phials.
