Poisons

Poisons are harmful elemental substances.
Aomos - Aomos is a scentless gas that is not poisonous in and of itself, but has a history of being used in high concentrations to replace the ordinarily oxygen-rich air in a room, leading to asphyxiation, and is also at times used to dilute the scents of other poisons. Furthermore, Aomos can be condensed into a liquid and it is commonly used as an odor masking cleaning substance.
Choking Powder - Choking Powder is a type of dust that becomes incredibly effective at absorbing moisture once warmed to human body temperatures. In effect, this allows it to be stored safely at room temperature, but once it is inhaled by a warm-blooded creature, it will lodge itself in their lungs, throats, and mouths and begin to absorb their natural body fluids in order to expand in size to induce choking and suffocation.
Hemlock - Hemlock is a temperate, herbaceous plant whose petite white flowers are naturally poisonous. Those who ingest hemlock will gradually become more and more drowsy before slowly losing consciousness and then dying shortly thereafter. While it is not a particularly quick poison, hemlock is favored among executioners as the painless and gentle way it coaxes its victims into their eternal slumber is viewed as more humane than most other poisons.
Cyanide - Cyanide is a potent toxin that naturally occurs in the inedible seeds of otherwise edible fruits such as apples. While cyanide is generally not lethal in amounts that one may ingest accidentally from natural sources, it can be refined to be deadly in small dosages, though such potent cyanide concoctions are always accompanied by an overwhelming scent of almonds. The immediate effect of cyanide poisoning is physical weakness, which is soon followed by difficulty breathing and then cardiac arrest.
Lily of the Valley - Lily of the Valley is a temperate, herbaceous plant whose bright red berries naturally contain a mild poison. curious young Ib are often drawn to these berries, which induce high fevers, muscle cramps, stomach aches, vomiting, and eventually diarrhea. While Lily of the Valley poisoning is slow to take effect and is generally not a dire emergency, it does have the potential to be fatal if its symptoms are not properly treated.
Ricin - Ricin is a deadly poison derived from the oil of castor beans. It is slow-acting and causes symptoms similar to the flu, killing its victims through high fever and bodily weakness over the course of a couple of days.
Death Cap - Death Cap is an incredibly poisonous breed of mushroom that reeks of rotting flesh. Consumption of it causes extreme deterioration of the brain as well as other vital organs followed by total organ failure and death. It is notable that a small dosage of death cap may only result in severe brain damage, which will often not kill its victim but still tends to leave them in a vegetative state.
Skull Cap - Skull Cap is a breed of mushroom that has calcified, stone-like form. Its fruiting body can be ground into a powder that will supernaturally cause the effects of extreme dehydration, notably making its victims appear gaunt through an intense loss of muscle mass that causes their skin to cling tightly to their bones.
Terror Toxin - Terror Toxin is a substance that induces extreme fear in those afflicted by it by causing them to endure horrific hallucinations. Those afflicted will often suffer greatly as they experience repeated heart attacks before ultimately succumbing to cardiac arrest.
