Philosopher's Egg: This item is an enchanted retort: a long-necked piece of glassware in which substances are distilled. It is a highly prized addition to a wizard's laboratory, for it has two very important uses.

The first use of the philosopher's egg is in the creation of any magical or mundane fluid. The time required to create such a fluid is cut in half through use of the philosopher's egg.

The egg's second use is as a required component for creating the substance that turns lead into gold--the legendary philosopher's stone. Thus, it is sometimes said by wizards that "the stone hatches from the egg."
