Onwen Herbalist Notes

Clan Herbal Preparations
(Notes found in Onwens cellar – most of which are tedious ramblings)
The clans have a number of plants that they use in their rituals, I have discovered a number of alternative preparations that are of significant benefit and lay down the recipes here.
==Cinderoak==
The powdered tuber of this plant is used by clan shamans to enhance the quality of their trances.
===Salve of Divination===
Costs: 5gp of materials (including 200g of dried Cinderoak)
When the salve is applied to the eyelids and temples of the arcanist, all divination spells cast within the next 20 minutes will be enhanced as if the arcanist was double their current level.
Note: There is a potential side effect in that in 5% of cases the divination results can be hallucinatory or false.
Note 2: Through experimentation I have noted that Detect Magic augmented by this salve is capable of spotting items with runic magic embedded in them
==Silverleaf==
The very tips of this bush (think Rosemary) are dried and used by the clan shamans and arcanists.
===Potion of Spirits===
Costs: 20gp of materials (including 25g of dried Silverleaf)
An arcanist drinking this potion will benefit from the following effects:
* His Familiar/Totem will be healed	by 2d8
* If latent, the time delay before	manifestation is possible is halved
* If manifest, the familiar/totem	can act as if it was 2 levels higher
Note: There is a potential side effect in that in 5% of cases the familiar is driven latent immediately and must remain so for a period of 2-8 days
==Asarum==
The petals of this spring flower (think Daffodil) are crushed and mixed with honey and used by Clan healers.
===Asarum Salve===
Costs: 5gp of materials (including 25g of fresh Asarum)
This salve can be applied by any character with the First Aid skill and will have the following effects:
* The recipient is healed by D4+1
* Any bleeding effect is stopped
* If poisoned within the last 5	minutes, the recipient gains another saving throw vs. poison. This	benefit only applies if the salve can be placed on the poisoned	wound.
==White Nightshade==
The white immature leaves of this Ivy like plant can be preserved in alcohol. Clan warriors in the East are known to use these leaves when fighting undead.
===White Nightshade===
Costs: 1gp of materials (including 5g of Nighshade leaves)
A character who chews on a White Nightshade leaf, gains the following benefits for 2 turns:
* +2 to hit and +2 to damage vs	undead
* +2 to save vs undead touch effects
* Immunity to level drain, once such	immunity is invoked the effects of the leaf expire
Note: Using more than 1 dose of White Nightshade in a 24 hour period has a 10% (+10% for each additional dose) chance of having no effect and inducing severe vomiting (-4 to all activities) in the user for up to 3 turns
