Powder of Ibn-Ghazi (artifact)
The Powder of Ibn-Ghazi originally appeared in H.P. Lovecraft's The Dunwich Horror (fiction).
Description
Those without the telescope saw only an instant's flash of grey cloud—a cloud about the size of a moderately large building = near the top of the mountain. Curtis, who held the instrument, dropped it with a piercing shriek into the ankle-deep mud of the road. He reeled, and would have crumpled to the ground had not two or three others seized and steadied him. All he could do was moan half-inaudibly.
—H.P. Lovecraft, The Dunwich Horror (fiction)
The Powder of Ibn-Ghazi is an enchanted powder that makes magically invisible things visible, by blowing the powder against or over the invisible thing.
