Some believe that there must have been other mages doing the same thing as they in the past. While the Vikings regarded poison as foul, some of the modern asa-mages use it in the defence of their homes and traditions. By boiling together a foul mixture of blood, salt, yeast, earth, iron, ice and some drops of snake venom under invocations of the powers of death, they create a potent and untraceable poison. The poison can be applied in food or drink, placed on weapons or even on surfaces. The poison will seek out the weakest point of the victim and make him very sick or kill him.
Typical effects can be heart attacks, allergic reactions or food poisoning.
It will find the weakest point in the body of the victim using an effect like Dim Mak and then strike. By adding special herbs and some blood to mead and then brewing it together, the priestess can create a mead which will infuse the drinker with the emotions of the her choice. This is used to create the mead drunk during the blot, or a subtle way of influencing people. Now the mage can experience what the animal feels and see through its senses. He has no direct control over it, other than emotional impulses and telepathy.
