  • Purpose: Panna Cake Batter melts Durasteel.

• Panna Cake Batter comes in liquid form which expands quickly when exposed to air. A single liter of the substance can spread into large enough of a mass to melt the durasteel off a modest single family home. It will not touch devour any other substances though, so any other building materials used will remain unharmed (though collapse may occur of the durasteel parts were keeping the foundations standing).
• Panna Cake Batter efficiency depends on its age. It is the most potent in the hours after release, capable of eating through three feet worth of a wall of durasteel in a matter of an hour or two. After three days, it's just dry crust that does nothing. The levels of efficiency decay gradually during the three days until it becomes useless.
• Once released from its container and is exposed to air, the Panna Cake Batter will take 2-3 minutes to expand to maximum size.
• Panna Cake Batter also comes in spray form, akin to the colorful foam-sprays that are beloved by festival lovers in certain areas. The quantity in that case is much smaller and isn't enough to cover more than about two feet worth of things (for example, the armor on someone's legs). For these containers, each container offers two single uses before it empties.
• Panna Cake Batter was named after the batter you get when you make Panna Cakes.
• Panna Cake Batter has no distinct smell, though a few test subjects described it as lightly sweet with a touch of bleach, but that it still is incredibly light and easy to miss.

• Panna Cake Batter, once it hits durasteel, will start splitting the five alloys that make it, essentially undoing its bonds. The visual effect of this is that the durasteel is melting into five different colors. Once they reach the bottom and the substance stops affecting them, they will harden back together.

• Useless pretty much against everything that isn't durasteel.
• Panna Cake Batter requires oxygen to expand and then work, so you can't dump it on ships in space and expect it to work while they're there. Breaking atmo' is required.

Panna Cake Batter is the new ruinous method brought forth by the mastermind behind Whimsy and most of its products. While looking for ways to create new uncommon means of mass destruction, time was spent looking into various common metals around the galaxy and how they could be seriously karked with.

Durasteel, made of carvanium, lommite, carbon, meleenium, neutronium, and zersium, seemed like a perfect place to start.

For months, the scientists of Whimsy toiled to find a way to keep the five from remaining together as well as create a comfortable way of carrying it around efficiently. The first part was the easiest one, and a substance that could separate the bonds between the alloys, effectively making durasteel look as though it was melting, when in fact it was splitting back down into the five compounds that made it, was achieved.

The second part, of finding ways to transfer it from location to location, or storing it, was somewhat harder and more time consuming, and was what most of the time was spent on. The team found a way to condense the substance in such a way that it could remain incredibly liquidy, until they exposed it to air. This way, they managed to shrink it do crazy amounts.

A single liter of the substance, once exposed to air, can expand wildly and cover an average modest home made for a singly family. Large ships filled with the stuff, could incredibly tall towers and skyscrapers.

The name was given because once expanded, the stuff looks like the batter you get when you make Pana Cakes.
