'''Title: Reagent Pathologies '''

'''Author: Jezebel of Britain '''


While it is true that 
reagents hold the 
power to heal the sick 
and vanquish your 
foes, they are also 
naturally occuring 
elements capable of 
transferring various 
maladies to those who 
overhandle them and 
fail to use proper 
precautions in storage.

Below I have listed 
several of the more 
common maladies with 
potential cures, though 
much remains to learn 
about the natural 
qualities of reagents 
and their effect on 
humans.


'''Black Fever''' <br>
''Cause:'' Black Pearl <br>
''Symptoms:'' Stained 
fingers and knots in 
the neck and groin; if 
untreated results in 
death. <br>
''Cure:'' Rest and fluids, 
leeching. DO NOT 
USE MAGIC TO CURE 

THIS FEVER! Black 
Pearl, as you know, is 
the most potent of the 
common reagents and 
reacts violently in the 
blood if any magic is 
cast on the patient.


'''Blood Fungus'''<br>
''Cause:'' Bloodmoss<br>
''Symptoms:'' Fingers 
turn red; mostly 
harmless<br>
''Cure:'' Wash hands 
daily in strong spirits.


'''Orc's Revenge'''<br>
''Cause:'' Overingestion
of Ginseng<br>
''Symptoms:'' loose 
bowels<br>
''Cure:'' Keep patient 
hydrated. The 
symptoms should pass 
in a few days.


'''Nightshade Poisoning'''<br>
''Cause:'' Nightshade 
ingestion<br>
''Symptoms:'' 
Disorientation, nausea, 
internal bleeding<br>
''Cure:'' DO NOT INDUCE 
VOMITING. Cast Cure 
spells once every full 
hours. Feed patient 
light foodstuffs.<br>


'''Travelers Despise'''<br>
''Cause:'' Frequent gate 
travel<br>
''Symptoms:'' Dementia, 
vertigo<br>
''Cure:'' No known cure. 
Aye?


This is all the 
information I have for 
now, and this 
information may not 
be entirely correct. 
Much of it was 
gleaned from my 
uncle, who is prone to 
drink but is otherwise 
an excellent 
apothecary. 

Thank 
you and feel free to 
tell me your 
comments.
