Charms (Single Use Magic Items that Are Not Potions)

Some of these items seem at home in an alchemist's lab (universal solvent), others are more like the surprisingly useful tokens given to heroes in fairy tales (feather tokens, wondrous figurines), and a few are wahoofuntimes (Marvelous Pigments!), and the rest seem to be emergent from exploring and logistics
in an imaginary world (Dust of Dryness) or one-use spell effects that don't grok as potions (salve of slipperiness).
