These magical emulsions enable their possessor to create actual objects simply by depicting their form in 2 dimensions. 

The variegated pigments are applied by a stick tipped with bristles, hair, or fur. 

The emulsion flows from the application to form the desired object as the wielder concentrates on the desired image. 

One pot of Nolzur's Marvelous Pigments is sufficient to create a 1,000 cubic foot object by depicting it 2 dimensionally over a 100 square foot surface. Thus, a 10-ft x 10-ft x 10-ft pit, or a 10-ft x 10-ft x 10-ft room, or a large door with a passage behind it, etc. can be created by application of the pigments. 

Note that only normal, inanimate things can be so created—doors, pits, flowers, trees, cells, etc.; not monsters, people, golems, and the like. The pigments must be applied to a surface, i.e. a floor, wall, ceiling, door, etc.

From 1-4 containers of pigments will be found, usually with a single instrument about 1-ft long with which to apply them. 

It takes 1 turn to depict an object with pigments. 

Objects of value depicted by pigments—precious metals, gems, jewelry, ivory, etc.—will appear valuable but will be tin, lead, paste gems, brass, bone, etc. Normal armor or weapons can, of course, be created.
