Item: Beetle Gel
Activate 3 (manipulate)
This midnight-blue gel shimmers with rainbow hues when exposed to light. When you apply this gel on an unattended and non-magical object of 1 Bulk, the object grows iridescent insect wings and transforms into a Flash Beetle, keeping some of the same colors and patterns of the original item. This false beetle has the minion trait. It remains in this beetle form for 10 minutes before the wings fall off and it returns to normal. If the beetle is reduced to 0 Hit Points, the item returns to its original form, undamaged.

Magical: Something with the magical trait is imbued with magical energies not tied to a specific tradition of magic. Some items or effects are closely tied to a particular tradition of magic. In these cases, the item has the arcane, divine, occult, or primal trait instead of the magical trait. Any of these traits indicate that the item is magical.
Oil: Oils are magical gels, ointments, pastes, or salves that are typically applied to an object and are used up in the process.
