[QUOTE="Mythos Enthusiast, post: 8587539, member: 7035277"] I probably wouldn't but it's such an edge case that I would try and find for an interpretation of a similar spell that would allow it. To me, this use of the word 'poison' is significantly more metaphorical than what I take the spell neutralize poison to be concerned with. If this was allowed, would you allow neutralize poison to negate dishonest debating tactics during a trial that had 'poisoned the well'? I think it also bares to say that it seems like the intention/idea behind what a 'poison' is is that it effects a living thing. So, this is why chocolate can poison a dog, but not a human and why salt can't poison metal in the same sense. tl;dr: what counts as poisoning is specific and it doesn't apply to every metaphorical/allegorical mode of "poisoning" something. Which is just to say "poisoning the weld" is just a turn of phrase, it does not mean that you are literally poisoning the weld in the same sense that you would poison an animal. [/QUOTE]
