Agloaphotis

Agloaphotis

By Tavaer, edited by Thunder

    An unusual tincture with powerful exorcistic capabilities, Agloaphotis is an odorless, thin, red liquid made from a rare subspecies of desert Peony or a kind of Morning Glory found growing by the water's edge near the town of Quiet Mesa. Few natural weapons are more effective against demonic possession: when ingested, the tincture will violently expel any demonic or spiritual malignancy, causing it to take physical form; this spirit may not take its eviction lightly and can thus remain hostile. No record exists of Agloaphotis' effects on unborn children, especially those of demonic lineage.

    Some rare alchemical case studies- long since forbidden in civilized magical societies, -may have found this tincture to be susceptible to corruption....Harvesting the the blooms to late...or by adding innocent blood to the mixture or the regurgitated distilled essence, mixed with Nightshade would do the trick, or so it was fortold by gyromancy.
   Corrupted Agloaphotis is rumored to be the color of dried blood and to be thin enough to suffuse and stain even non-porous surfaces to the core; though, it remains as odorless as its normal state. When consumed, the corrupted concoction supposedly has the reversed effect, forcing whatever dark spirit or possessor to take full control of its host. Said host would then take on the features of the possessing entity, making exorcising them safely a near-impossible task. If no dark spirits currently inhabit the imbiber, it is possible that Corrupted Agloaphotis would turn them into a beacon to any nearby non-corporeals, leaving them permanently vulnerable to possession., even by beings on distant planes.

    The purveyors and sources of these persistent rumors have all met violent ends, so perhaps it is best if you omit these from your studies?
