Powder of LifePowder of Life is a magic substance from the Oz book series by L. Frank Baum. The substance first appears in The Marvelous Land of Oz .It is a magical powder that brings inanimate objects to life. The witch Mombi first obtained it from a Dr. Nikdik, however later in the series it is reveiled that the substance is made by a Dr. Pipt. In order to make the substance, Dr. Pipt had to stir four large cauldrons for six years. Only a few grains of the powder could be made at a time. It is always described as being carried in a pepper box
UsageAfter the subject is sprinkled with the powder, an incantation must follow. Text from The Marvelous Land of Oz: "Then, putting the pepper-box back into the basket, Mombi lifted her left hand, with its little finger pointed upward, and said: "Weaugh!" Then she lifted her right hand, with the thumb pointed upward, and said: "Teaugh!" Then she lifted both hands, with all the fingers and thumbs spread out, and cried: "Peaugh!" Jack Pumpkinhead stepped back a pace, at this, and said in a reproachful voice: "Don't yell like that! Do you think I'm deaf?" Old Mombi danced around him, frantic with delight. "He lives!" she screamed: "He lives! he lives!"" List of Ozites brought to life by the powder
