Ooze

Mages keep jars, and now and then a jar is dropped. Or the thing was done on purpose, in a laboratory, to see whether it could be. The oozes are not agreed about their beginning, and are losing interest in the question.

For an ooze is leaving, and goes slowly. First there is a dampness on the skin that no towel takes off; then a slickness; then the door handles begin to pit, and the coins in the purse go green. The mind stays clear a long while, and uses the time to learn alchemy, for which it has the acids by it. At the end, they say, there is only a clear shape like a great drop of water, that remembers a name.
