By all outward appearances, the Cobra Lamp is a normal oil lamp, it even looks abused and cheap. It is, however, an enchanted item, originally made by wizards who sought secrets in dangerous, lost libraries, ancient tombs or other dangerous locations. Many say its original creator was a vizier who sought a collection of ancient scrolls, held by a band of thieves. He managed to bargain for them, but he was justifiably afraid that they would betray him. So, he devised this as a hidden weapon, to defend himself if it came to a fight. The Cobra Lamp has two effects. First, its wick will never burn down, no matter how long it is lit, a useful feature for anyone creeping around in dark places. Second, when a command word is spoken and the lamp is rubbed, it spits burning oil, which acts as “Alchemist’s Fire.” The lamp can spit up to thirty feet, and once it spits it cannot do so again in the following two rounds. Hitting an enemy with the oil requires a ranged touch attack.
