Moonshade Extract is a rare and exotic substance derived from the petals of the elusive Moonshade Flower, which blooms only under the light of the full moon. It is coveted for its ability to induce vivid dreams and hallucinations, often of distant and eerie landscapes. Moonshade Extract is a favorite among mystics, seers, and those who seek visions beyond the ordinary.
=== Effects: ===
# Dreamwalker's Reverie (1 hour): When the user consumes Moonshade Extract as an action, they are transported into a dreamlike state for one hour. During this time, they experience vivid and surreal visions. They can use their dreamlike perception to gain insights into current events, solve puzzles, or seek knowledge.
# Visions Beyond: While under the influence of Moonshade Extract, the user can communicate with other individuals who are also using Moonshade Extract, sharing their dreamscapes and experiences. This allows for collective dream exploration and shared visions among those partaking in the substance.
# Ethereal Alacrity: When the effects of Moonshade Extract wear off, the user gains a temporary burst of insight and agility. They receive a +2 alchemical bonus to Intelligence and Dexterity for 10 minutes after the dream experience concludes.
=== Drawbacks: ===
# Dreamscape Confusion: While using Moonshade Extract, it can be challenging for the user to distinguish between the dream world and reality. This can lead to disorientation and difficulty in making decisions.
# Moonlight Dependency: Moonshade Extract only works when consumed under the light of the full moon. Attempting to use it during other phases of the moon results in no effect, and it can only be used once per night, as multiple doses in quick succession can lead to severe disorientation.
# Dreamer's Fatigue: After the effects of Moonshade Extract wear off, the user experiences mental and physical fatigue. They become drained and may require rest to recover fully.
=== Crafting: ===
Creating Moonshade Extract requires skilled alchemical knowledge and the ability to capture the essence of the Moonshade Flower's petals under the light of the full moon. The process is time-sensitive and delicate, making it a rare and sought-after substance.
