Nubain (nalbuphine) is a narcotic agonist/antagonist combination that comes, I believe, in liquid form only. An agonist/antagonist combination means that it stimulates the opiate receptors (like morphine) and also deprives (for lack of a better word ) them like naloxone. If someone who is opiate dependent takes something containing an antagonist, it will induce withdrawal symptoms.
Now, Nubain is a VERY strong pain reliever because of the agonist/antagonist combination. Other similar drugs include buprenex (Buprenorphine) (comes in sublingual tabs) and butorphanol (Stadol) (which comes in nasal spray).

Without warning, the wizard walks by
Casting his shadow, weaving his spell
Funny clothes, tinkling bell
