Water Of The Styx

The Water Of The Styx is lethal to mortals and some scions and gods, but to some beings it is a source of dark power.
Often used in the machinations of plots by Erebus.
First seen in Season 2.
Fionn Corvin had a particularly dangerous brush with this drink. In Season 2 Episode 4: The Four Horsemen, Fionn was offered the bottle by Death, the leader of The Four Horsemen. He drank from the bottle and instantly gained a rush of power, though it fouled up his moral compass and turned him into Dark Fionn. During this time he grew paler, found sunlight -any light- uncomfortable and wore sunglasses at all times. He drank it three more times, each bringing dizzying power but tugging at the very fabric of his soul, before he gave up the addiction. Drinking water of the Styx was also a part of Fionn's journey into Rock Bottom.
Simon Prince was addicted to a narcotic based on the water of the Styx in Season 2 Episode 13: Anansi. The trickster god Anansi was using Prince's addiction, and his influence over Clearwater, to flood Clearwater with an infestation of giant spiders, working on the mandate of Erebus.
