Nightshade

Introduced:

From Darkness, Light

Nightshade

• Value: 10
• Burden: 4
• Nightshade is a plant from the Isparian home world and has not been seen on Dereth. Nightshade has the ability to produce a potent poison that will weaken and kill a target over time. It was once common for warriors to coat their blades with the substance to ensure the death of their opponent even if they themselves should perish in battle.

Notes

• This spell component has not been, and is not currently, available anywhere in Dereth. This explains in part why Void Magic was not discovered until Leafcull, 21 PY and only became castable with the availability of the Foci of Shadow.^[1][2]
• This component can be seen in spell forumulae ID panels of some Void spells when no foci is held.
