Saffron
Rank: "S"
Type: Uncommon, Tiny, Narcotic
Effect: Easily addictive, this narcotic gives many bonuses to the individual at a hefty cost of one’s sanity and mind.
Special: Preparation: 1 week; Duration: 1d40 + 20 hours
Drawback: ---
Description: After aestivating in spring, the plant sends up 5 to 11 narrow and nearly vertical green leaves, each up to 40 centimeters in length. Upon flowering, plants average less than 30 centimeters in height. The plant has a tuberous root, and large purplish flowers with yellow-red centers. The pistils of the flower must be pounded into a paste which is left to dry for 1 week. The resulting powder is taken as snuff. This herb raises all Skills by 5, movements by 1, Saves by 1 and gives a Temporary Armour Points of 5. Chance of Overdose: This herb is incredibly powerful. If the herb is used more than once in a 3 day period, the Character must make a save against the poison with a -5 penalty or die immediately from a severe brain hemorrhage. A 3rd usage in that period will automatically kill the character. Addiction and Withdrawal: Addiction automatically occurs if this herb is used more than once in a week. An addicted Character randomly loses 1 of 3 things, Loses 5 Skill Points, 1 movement, or 1 in a Save Type. Every day they will lose 1 of 2 things. Recovery From Addiction: The only cure for this addiction is powerful healing Chakra, although lesser Chakra will restore the Character's points back to their normal levels. If the character is cured of their addiction their scores will remain at their current levels, until some form of restoration Chakra is used. If a once addicted character ever has Saffron again, they become addicted with no chance of being cured. However this is unlikely to occur, because such a character develops an almost pathological hatred of the herb, and is likely to attack anyone in possession of it, and destroy it whenever they see it. This narcotic has enough 50ml doses equal to 2.
Availability: Autumn/Winter; Region: Forest; Identification: ; Cultivation:

[/i]. The drug plant. Said to leave on puffed up on a chemical high that could enhance the physical and mental attributes, but at a terrible price. He'd seen people addicted to it before, he'd seen animals addicted to it, attempting what he was, now.

He searched the forest floor, concentration rapt, looking for the odd purple flower with its yellow red center. There were many flowering plants that fit that description, but not all of them were Saffron. He would continue looking, nose sniffing furiously, eyes scanning the forest for his prize. However many he found would not be enough.

[/i] Saffron were only about 40cm, many of the plants in the area were simply the wrong size. He gathered some that seemed promising, but were perhaps too young, or were a slight variation not containing the same addictive chemicals, but he placed them into his pack nonetheless. He would take handfuls of flowers and plant, placing those nearest to the description he sought within the pack as well.

He kept his eyes out for animals as well, those who had taken Saffron and were now seeking it out in their own ways. He crawled inch by inch across the grass floor of the forest. Every few feet he would stand briefly and look around, staring at flashes of purple or red or yellow. He looked back down at the ground and continued. He picked several more flowers.
