Dust of Forgetfulness

Advanced Dungeons & Dragons Magic Items - Dragon Dragon #99

This dust looks exactly like other magickal dusts, and is stored and <link>
delivered in the same manner. When thrown at a character or other
living creature, the dust causes the victim to forget everything that
has happened to him in the last hour (including having the dust
tossed upon him). Enemies encountered during that time will be
forgotten, paths explored will look unfamiliar, and newly made
friends will be seen with suspicion. If a character's immediate surroundings
are similar to those the character was in an hour before,
the character won't even be aware of the difference without close
examination (if any differences in environment exist). After one
week, the lost memories will be restored, and no experience will be
lost.

PCs, if sprinkled with dust, should be forbidden by
the DM to use "forgotten" knowledge. No SAVE is given
against this power.
