Pharika

==Summary==
Pharika is the God of Affliction on Theros. The god worshipped mostly in Setessa's Winter Nexus, Pharika is associated with grief and aging—the stretch of life and the approach of death. Pharika is the keeper of apothecary knowledge and the source of dark magic, potions and poison. She is the mother of all Gorgons, and she herself is thought to take the form of a gorgon. Prayers to her are usually letters rolled up in ceramics and dumped in bogs. Stories say that the secretive god has hidden medicinal knowledge within the natural world, such as in basilisk blood, although most die trying to learn them. To those who would oppose her, Pharika is a fearsome enemy, but mortals she favors are hard to kill. She bears a potion cup from which she dispenses draughts that simultaneously strengthen her servants and slay her enemies.
