Ember Flower

Ember Flowers are large, thorned flowers in My Normal Obsession that can be used as a spice on food, as well as an ingredient in crafting several powerful items such as Flamestep Boots, Parsimony, and Robes of Armageddon. They can be found adjacent to the River Styx, although they are grown in limited quantities (usually 5-11), only regrowing after a Blood or Blighted Moon, or when a boss has been killed (not counting event bosses). Usually, killing a boss yields at least 7 Ember Flowers.
==In-game Description==
Ember Flowers (Borago Liquefactum), though often confused with flowers, are edible and easily spotted herbs, with Demons having feasted on them for thousands of years due to their rumored benefits for heart function. They are abundant in uses as well; they can be brewed into a pleasantly spicy tea, they can be used to make items for Pyromancy, as a homemade insecticide, as a dye in paint or fabric, or as a simple hair ornament. Seemingly only growing after Blood Moons, they sprout in small quantities, but that doesn't stop Demons from growing their own Ember Flowers and potentially selling them for a quick profit. Their fiery appearance is merely the result of them growing so close to lava, as the molten sludge often crosses paths with their roots to give them a benign, fiery appearance. As their name suggests, they are incredibly hot to the taste, yielding high capsaicin loads with an estimated maximum of 500,000-700,000 Scoville units; only they are dwarfed by most manmade peppers of the 21st century.
When put on food, they grant a 50% boost to Stamina, attack speed, and movement speed for 66% of the original food's duration. Just be careful not to burn your tongue.
==Trivia==
*Ember Flowers are taken from Terraria's fireblossoms, only Ember Flowers do not allow you to control gravity. Therefore, fireblossoms are superior.
*The Latin name for Ember Flowers, Borago Liquefactum, derives from the Latin word for "Molten" and Borago, the Latin name for Borage.
*Borage is an annual, flower-like herb with a distinct starry shape and a vibrant blue color. Borage is also medicinally versatile, as it is used as a sedative, and as a treatment for seizures and kidney disease.https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=2ahUKEwjgrIa54saGAxXu4MkDHYV1LTMQFnoECBcQAw&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.webmd.com%2Fvitamins-and-supplements%2Fwhat-to-know-about-borage%23%3A~%3Atext%3DIn%2520traditional%2520medicine%252C%2520borage%2520is%2Cis%2520used%2520as%2520a%2520supplement.&usg=AOvVaw1fSx8Ye00sM-hKD8GtxNrZ&opi=89978449 The annual nature of borage, coincidentally enough, lines up with the periodic sprouting of Ember Flowers.
*Borage seed oil can also be used in skincare, as it can be used as homemade treatment for skin disorders and scalp rashes.
