Origin[]

Zygmunt Florenty Wróblewski (28 October 1845 – 16 April 1888) was a Polish physicist and chemist.

When Wróblewski was offered a chair in physics at Jagiellonian University, he accepted. At Kraków he began studying gases and soon established a collaboration with Karol Olszewski.

On 29 March 1883 Wróblewski and Olszewski used a new method of condensing oxygen, and on 13 April the same year—nitrogen.

In 1888, while studying the physical properties of hydrogen, Wróblewski upset a kerosene lamp and was severely burned. He died soon after at a Kraków hospital.

Effects[]

When lit, the lamp will cause any and all bodily fluids of the one(s) that ignited it to slowly transform into liquid nitrogen.

Collection[]

This lamp was collected by Agents Scott and Draco after it resulted in the deaths of two people who had used it for a campout in their backyard.
