Comet's Tail
A Comet’s Tail is a bought ingredient: nothing makes it, and it has no alchemy runes. The town Apothecary stocks 10 a week from its first tier and Gunter, the astrologer at the port, 5, both at 10 copper.
Its uses are few. With a Dream Dust and a Tooth it summons the fairy for Chasing Fairy Lights, and it goes into both two-colour embalming injections, the Injection for Corpses and the Injection for Zombies.

Notes
- The Apothecary makes the fairy quest possible early. You do not have to wait until the port opens to Gunter.
- The game files also list it in two Organ Improver recipes that no workbench offers; Organ Improvers are made by alchemy.
- Studying one costs 10 Science and gives 30 blue.
