Holy Coating

Holy Coating is an oily, foul-smelling substance used to coat melee or ranged weapons so that successful hits set targets ablaze with an interdimensional golden flame. Weapons treated with this coating ignite struck enemies on contact, producing a distinctive luminous gold fire that originates from beyond ordinary planes. The item’s description emphasizes both its physical properties (viscous and malodorous) and its supernatural effect (cross-dimensional ignition).

Applied to a weapon, Holy Coating changes the weapon’s hit effect from a plain physical strike to one that causes immediate ignition; the flame is described as “interdimensional” and “golden,” marking it as a unique elemental or supernatural fire rather than mundane burning. The coating’s sensory details—oiliness and foul odor—are consistently noted across language sources, indicating the substance is tangible and offensive even as it grants a powerful incendiary effect.

• Use: Equip or apply Holy Coating to a weapon to grant fire-based ignition on hit. The primary mechanical outcome described is that targets struck are set on fire by the golden interdimensional flame.
• Visual and thematic notes: The resulting flame is explicitly golden and interdimensional, differentiating it from ordinary flames; this can be used to identify coated-weapon attacks at a glance.
• Tactical considerations: Because the coating converts attacks into incendiary strikes, it is naturally paired with weapons or attack patterns that reliably land hits; items or builds that increase the number of successful strikes per engagement will make more consistent use of the ignition effect.
• Limitations: Sources describe only the ignition effect and physical qualities of the coating. No specific numbers, durations, damage-over-time values, stacking rules, or interactions with status immunities are provided in the available descriptions.

Holy Coating functions as a straightforward but thematically striking modifier: it turns a weapon’s physical impact into a supernatural incendiary hit, trading nothing explicit in the descriptions for a clearly observable and flavorful gold flame effect on struck targets.
