About this mod
Inserts into the game a variety of weapon "oils" that you can consume like potions, which empower slightly your weapon attacks for a brief time. They are distributed to many stores in limited quantities and can be found also in some special creatures' loot.

This small mod simply adds a new class of items called "weapon oils". Essentially, they are consumable potions that apply a somewhat mild melee/ranged effect to your weapons. They are distributed to stores so far and a few select creatures. Compatibility with IWDEE not established yet, because I can't be bothered to check what stores there are and how to decide which stores make the most sense to place the items in. Feel free to offer feedback on this.
Note that you cannot stack oils with themselves or each other, they are all set up so only one of them can be active. This of course can be abused with any other mods that may add similar items. If any of you can think of another mod that adds stuff like this, I can add some code to handle it so balance is not broken.
Also, I'm not a good writer, so the descriptions are pretty boring, and most of the icons were lazily made, but I think they're visually distinguishable enough.

Compatibility
Should be compatible with everything as far as I know. Please offer feedback on balance and the supply of oils throughout the game if you try this.
Known issues
The noxious oil sometimes seems to not offer log feedback indicating whether the poisoning was resisted or not. I don't think it affects functionality though.
Additionally, applying the oils through the inventory will be through a button that states "drink potion", which doesn't make sense (trust me, don't drink them for real, you'll die), but I don't think that can be helped.
Note that you cannot stack oils with themselves or each other, they are all set up so only one of them can be active. This of course can be abused with any other mods that may add similar items.
