A poisonedcreature suffers no additional effects fromthe poison, and any temporary effects areended, but the spell does not reverseinstantaneous effects, such as hit pointdamage, temporary ability damage, oreffects that don’t go away on their own.For example, if a poison has dealt 3 pointsof Constitution damage to a character andthreatens to deal more damage later, thisspell prevents the future damage but doesnot repair the damage already done.The creature is immune to any poisonit is exposed to during the duration of thespell. Unlike with delay poison, such effectsaren’t postponed until after the duration—the creature need not make anysaves against poison effects applied to itduring the length of the spell.This spell can instead neutralize thepoison in a poisonous creature or objectfor the duration of the spell, at the caster’soption.Arcane Material Component: A bit ofcharcoal.So it neutralizes the poison in an object for the duration of the spell.The big question then would be whether the salt in salt poisoning counts as poison here.I might allow it, particularly as there is a campaign point of the assassin using poison thematically. So the smith would then have the 10 minutes per caster level to work the metal unpoisoned and then it would be poisoned again so they would have to work with those constraints.In 4e it would be a fairly straightforward use of the arcana skill to modify the spell for such a sympathetic magic thematic nonstandard use. Arcana skill with something known to draw out poison might even be enough to do so without a spell.</blockquote>
