Oil of Fumbling: This oil will seem to be of a useful type--acid resistance, slipperiness, etc.--until the wearer is under stress in an actual melee situation. At that point, he has a 50% chance each round to fumble and drop whatever he holds--weapon, shield, spell components, and so forth. Only a thorough bath of some solvent (alcohol, etc.) will remove the oil before it wears off.
