Night Sap
|
Night sap seems to be found in deformed growths (probably caused by some type of insect) on the trunks of sturdy oak trees. A thick, honey like substance, it is as golden as an afternoon sunrise and as mouth-watering to behold as any substance one can readily find. The taste and smell brings back memories of blue skied, worriless evenings on grassy plains, eating fine meals with finer company; unrivalled in texture and taste by any morsel yet to devourer. Night sap can be used as an average earth symbol in alchemy or a highly addictive drug by those who are truly troubled. It can also be used in dire situations to sedate a patient in an operation, or to poison some poor fellow who wronged the wrong herbalist.
Location
Moist temperate forests, swamps with trees, and jungles. Only located in the branches of trees.
Raw Effects
When boiled down into a thinner consistency, a measure of nightsap can be mixed into a tea or syrup. When imbibed, this brings the user a sense of calmness, euphoria, and happiness for five narrative hours, which is followed by a moderate headache for two narrative hours. A decoction or syrup of two measures can be made which instead puts the user into a dreamless sleep for five narrative hours, which is followed by severe headaches for the same amount of time. Nightsap is highly addictive, and users often redose to combat the headaches, entering a loop of abuse.
Alchemical uses
Night sap functions as a Moderate Earth and Water symbol in alchemy, representing addiction (which is a form of connection). It can be used to create poisons, specially paralizing tonics and sleeping potions.
