neutron flux is an extremely volatile and rare liquid that can normally only be found inside a phial for sale. If a pure pool is found on the ground somehow, it will freeze at -100T. At a hot enough temperature it will be destroyed instead of evaporating.

You can wish for this liquid by wishing NeutronPool.

Volatility

neutron flux is a very strange liquid. Certain, specific actions will cause it to explode with a force of 15,000, causing ♥10d10+250260-350 (Avg: 305) damage to any creatures, items, or walls caught in the explosion. However, there are also many actions which can be taken that will not cause it to explode. Dying from a neutron flux explosion will grant an achievement.

Will cause an explosion

  • Pouring neutron flux into a pool of any liquid (including neutron flux)
  • Drinking neutron flux.
  • Pouring neutron flux into any container. ("collecting" neutron flux from a pool on the ground is completely safe)

Will not cause an explosion

  • Pouring neutron flux onto the ground.
  • Pouring neutron flux onto yourself.
  • Pouring a liquid other than neutron flux into a pool of neutron flux.
  • Pouring a liquid other than neutron flux into a container of neutron flux.

Sources of Neutron Flux

Uses of Neutron Flux

  • neutron flux can be used in a pinch as a very damaging thrown weapon if inside a fragile container like a glass bottle or a phial. However, note that a container shattering is similar to a distant pour, so it will only explode if it lands on another liquid.
  • At a commerce value of 1000 per dram, neutron flux is the most valuable liquid by weight, and the second most valuable item by weight.
  • Upon eating a meal which uses neutron flux as an ingredient, the player will either gain a permanent +1 to their AV, or they will instantly die.
