ENVENOM
General
TOXICOLOGIST VENOMS Lotus Scourge A potent, fast-acting venom derived from exotic lotus blossoms. It infects the target immediately, flooding their system with overwhelming nausea, fever, and debilitating agony. The poison spreads rapidly through the target's bloodstream, leaving them writhing in pain. Blackspore A highly potent fungal agent, delivered as a smeared residue on the tip of a dart. Once absorbed, it takes root in the lungs, causing persistent coughing progressive scarring that highly impairs breathing. Nettle Essence Distilled from vicious nettles. This clear, viscous liquid delivers thousands of microscopic barbs that embed in flesh and nerves. Highly resistant to standard cures, it requires specialized antidotes or powerful magic to fully purge, making it a favorite for drawn-out interrogations or prolonged revenge. Numbing Gel A slick, cold topical agent applied via dart. It induces rapid but temporary muscle paralysis, starting at the point of entry and spreading outward - first targeting and freezing limbs all together. Scouring Serum A corrosive, bubbling alchemical brew designed to bypass natural immunities and resistances to poison. It forces even hardy or magically protected targets to succumb, eating away at flesh like acidcausing skin to blister, crack, and sizzle while releasing thick, acrid smoke. Flesheater Oil An insidious, greasy substance that clings to skin on contact. It slowly dissolves toughened hide, calluses, or armored chitin, breaking down connective tissues layer by layer. Victims feel a creeping burn as their outer defenses soften and slough away, exposing raw muscle and making them vulnerable to further attacks. Living Death A sinister neurotoxin, venom from a specialized breed of spiders. The venom targets the mind rather than the body, draining mental focus. Victims describe it as being trapped in an endless gray fog, making it devastating against spellcasters. Slugwort Drought A foul, thick draught brewed from sluggish, swamp-dwelling herbs. It weighs down the limbs like frozen lead, causing extreme heaviness and fatigue that makes every movement and action be more laborious. Stonefoot Powder A fine gritty dull green dust. It rapidly drains strength from the legs and lower body, progressing from weakness to total paralysis of the feet and calves. At full effect, they can't even drag themselves away, leaving them easy prey for finishers or abductions.
