    • The dragon permanently befouls 10 cubic feet of liquid within 90 feet. The liquid becomes undrinkable and unable to support water-breathing life. This destroys liquid magic or alchemical items if they're of a lower level than the dragon (a creature can attempt a 35 Will save to protect liquids in its possession). This doesn't affect the liquids in a creature's body.
