Magic powders are scripted magic items that are used via EXHALE or TOSS. They can be stored in either a neckpouch or a special jar, which can hold 20 pinches (does) each. Magic powders debuted at the 2014 Midsummer's Night Festival, as part of the Premium Festival, in the Leafy Platform and returned with the tree sprites again in some later runs.
