 If an acid splash causes 6 damage or more, the victim '''must''' retreat and make an attempt to treat the burn with clear water, abandoning the combat to do so.  For every three rounds this is not done, the victim will suffer 1 [[Hit Points|hit point]] of '''secondary damage''' until this equals the damage caused by the initial splash.  Therefore, if Nelson were struck for 7 damage, and was unable to apply water for 21 rounds, then over that time he would suffer an ''additional 7 damage'', one point occurring every three rounds.
-If '''blue vitriol''' is thrown, then the victim must make a [[Saving Throws|saving throw]] against poison or be blinded.  This blindness can be restored with either [[Cure Blindness (spell)|cure blindness]] or [[Regeneration (spell)|regeneration]].

 More acid than a single vial will cause considerably more damage if it can be applied; multiple vial-volumns are used in the making of extremely dangerous [[Trap|traps]].
