Mandragora is a plant that grows in the wetlands and swamps of the realms. Normally only the top of the plant is seen growing with thick green leaves coming out of shallow waters. The 'meat' of the plant, which is underwater, is shapped like a turnip. This plant is highly valued by alchemists, yet it is also a dangerous plant which created some peculiar myths. It is said that if someone isn't careful when collecting mandragora, they may drown in shallow water, due to it's spores.

Effects on use

The plant is known for producing highly narcotic and hallucinatory spores. The spores are also highly toxic and death due to harvesting the plant while it is still in the spore production phase of its life can happen by the harvester lossing conciousness in shallow waters. When the plant reaches full maturity it releases the spores into the air around it. Two weeks after the spores are released is the plant safe for harvesting. The plant is fairly nutritious and provides a high amount of antioxidants. The leaves or “Head” of the Mandragora goes particularly well as a garnish for soups or tea’s. The “Meat” of the plant can be ground up and used for the creation of potions that revitalize the body and mind, as well as support Regeneration of damaged tissue.

Alchemical uses

Mandragora can represent a Moderate Symbol of Water when used in alchemy, representing Rejuvenation, Life, Rebirth and Regrowth. This plant is incredibly useful in healing and mending potions, and it is even necessary in some of the most powerful healing potions, such as the rejuvination potion. Other things that can be done with it are rejuvinating oils and salves.
