Infuse poison and other poison-based abilities


Rules Questions


Hello ! I've got a question (yes, I'm the obvious stating kind of guy)

Black Market introduce a new item creation feat that allow to cast a spell in a vial of poison.

Infuse Poison (Item Creation)

You can infuse a poison with a magical effect.

Prerequisite(s): Brew Potion, Craft (alchemy) 5 ranks, caster level 3rd.

Benefit(s): You can infuse an ingested poison with any spell of 3rd level or lower that you know and that targets one or more creatures and has a casting time of less than 1 minute.

Infusing a poison takes 2 hours if its base price is 250 gp or less; otherwise, infusing a poison takes 1 day for each 1,000 gp in its base price. When you infuse a poison, you set the caster level, which must be sufficient to cast the spell in question and no higher than your own caster level. To infuse a poison, you must use up raw materials costing half of its base price.

When you create an infused poison, you make any choices that you would normally make when casting the spell.

Whoever ingests the infused poison is the target of the spell.

My question is this : Is the poison so infused still considered a poison for other abilities ?

To be more specific :
Will an Alchemist be able to use Concentrate Poison or Poison Conversion (or any other poison-altering discovery) on the infused poison ?
Same question, different ability : what about Toxic Spell or Toxic Words (veneficus witch special ability) ? And once again same thing : if it's possible, will it trigger only the poison part or both the poison AND the spell ?

Thanks for any lead on this :-)


First of all, I think the feat needs to be read in context, which I can't do right now. But it seems that it's still a poison, and every poison-related ability should work.

eeeeexcept things like Sticky Poison and Lasting Poison; those should work too, except the magical infusion discharges on the first valid target, and only the base poison remains for more hits.
