Serpent’s Stalk represents a Moderate Water Symbol when use in alchemy. Another easily identifiable forest plant that grows near small bodies of water, such as ponds, and often within the water of the pond itself. Serpent’s Stalk can be identified by long, deeply emerald hued stalks, hence the name, with strips and ridges of a lighter green and brown along its length. This reed-like plant is easy enough to collect, just cut it as low as possible, and simple to use. Although the name may suggest a poisonous nature, this is not true for the most part. From my observations, and that of a few locals I have spoken to, the Serpent’s Stalk seems to only be poisonous to specific insects that come into contact with it. I am unsure why but it seems to be safe enough for human, and animal consumption. Through careful testing I’ve concluded that this could act as a powerful ingredient to potions based around the Water element and therefore could be used in antidotes, potions of calmness, oils, balms, and healing potions. In fact, a local remedy involves the crushing of the upper stalk of this plant, mixing it with water, and pouring it on burns to help soothe the pain. If this is the case, then it will certainly be useful for potions for the purpose of putting out fires, or numbing pain.
