Toad Stone Sacrifice:
Hallowed Salt Spring: In the place where the toad stone once stood now a spring of salt water bursts from the earth. Strange silvery lichens glitter on the stones like some hidden treasure, but the true worth of the spring is in its waters bequeathing blessings upon the dwellers of land and sea alike.
Ability: To be immersed in the waters of the spring is to be healed of the corruption of the Deep Ones, though any who make the attempt had best be ware for the Merling God is a god of death a not healing. For those most infected by the power ofthe Deep Ones the only healing that can be found is in the embrace of oblivion.
Note: There are no hard and fast rules here because posibile avenues of corruption are so many. So for instance someone who gets slimmed and dominated by an aboleth would be healed just fine, but if you say rolled someone in whose insides are half-tentacles they will probably melt. A skum would definitely melt.

The most important question; Can it be weaponized?

How about all our aberration-tainted people?

We can have all our Tainted citizens cleaned of Illithid corruption (one way or another...) and add Cerulean Sign to Dawn Age Tree isntead of one of the effects.

Not at the moment, the Water loses its potency if removed from the spring for more than an hour or so
Most could be helped by this, though the very worst off risk dying.
I'll get to that Qohor report after the next update.

Would dissolving enemy Aberrations in the spring count as a sacrifice to the Merling King?
Surprise dunking abominations should be a valid strategy.

How about stasis effects?

Technically works, but if an abberation fails a willsafe against a spell from Viserys he's down anyway.
We have too many save or die effects to make this really useful.
Similar for any mage with level 6 spells.

Compared to defense against all other aberrations?
Irrelevant as fuck.
But we can also spend a research action to make an effect to defend him, however pricey that will be.
You would have to test them. What stasis effect do you have in mind?

Yes, but this is instant sacrifice to the Merling King.
It shall be an amazing tourist attraction, like hot springs or mineral water springs.
You go there for your health like the other types of springs, and if you're lucky you'll get to see the emperor teleport aberrations into the middle of the pool to melt horribly!
10/10 excellent vacation location

Put a large amount of this water in stasis (bottle it) and then release it over an Aberrant enemy (or fling it at the enemy with Telekinesis or Control Water or something).
Easy say to kill high-CR aberrations, that we can distribute to weaker people.

So does anyone have an idea about the vote? Are we keeping the thing or killing it.
I mean what specific magical effect do you want to use as stasis?

Smoky Confinement

What if we cast Animate Water on it, then used Smoky Confinement on the resulting Water Elementals? That would get around the issue of needing a target to bottle. Four cubic feet of water is more than enough to completely drench a Medium-sized target.

The implications are the interesting bit, tho. That draconic beings, or at least true dragons and some other breeds, can inherently inspire mind-numbing fear.
You can have a society of alien beings whose heigh of cuddly-ness would be giant firebreathing lizards, and if you show then a TD or similar they will still be afraid. It's an out-and-out Ex ability.
