Brewed for the first time in the Metrobig Salvagestuff Platform, the Squibby Lifting Drink allows one to levitate once the drink is consumed for short periods of time. The proprietary alchemical process used by Utai Magic Circle makes it so that the Squibby Lifting Drink could achieve effects similar to those of grav-boots for a short period of time, up to 10 seconds (obviously, the heavier the drinker naturally is, the lesser the effects are expected to last for), activated by a jump made by the drinker, while retaining the blueberry taste of the original drink. However, it comes with serious drawbacks: it makes one's palms sweat much more profusely and it also makes the drinker's bones more brittle for the time the drink's effects are active. In addition, due to the amount of energy expended by the drinker's body for levitation, once the user has levitated under the effects of the drink, the drinker needs to recover for about 15 seconds for each second spent in levitation by the drinker.
Due to the alchemical process in use by Utai Magic Circle, the Squibby Lifting Drink carries all the usual weaknesses of dark side alchemy: the product is heavier than an equivalent unalchemized product and its dark side signature makes a person carrying a bottle of the drink easier to detect in the Force. It also limits the quantities of the milkshake that can be produced: the alchemical process forces the base ingredients to be pre-ordered prior to production. Also, no more than one half-barrel keg (7 standard cases of twenty-four 341 ml bottles of milkshake) may be brewed in a standard week.
Finally, two more notes of caution, regarding the Squibby Lifting Drink: the usage of Force-nullifiers (like ysalamiri, Yuuzhan Vong, etc.) as well as of Force-light would remove the allergic effects.
