The Olba vial is a lightly scripted roleplaying item that, when unlocked, allows the user to annoint the area around them in the name of their Arkati.

A similar vial may have been sold in Sister Olba's Wandering Wagon in Briarmoon Cove in 2020. The vial does not seem to run out of oil. A LOOK in the vial shows:

There is a modest amount of holy oil in the glass vial.
