Nevertheless, a thin, waxy coating usually appears on objects that a sislan has passed by or over, and when one of the creatures dies, it leaves behind a dollop of clear, syrupy much.  This ichor dries quickly, hardening with great strength; some cutters gather and treat the stuff so it can be stored and then used as a powerful adhesive.  One blood even discovered that skilled alchemists can use the substance to create long-lasting potions of flight or levitation.</blockquote>
