Physicker Concoction Suggestion: Solis Occulum

Post by Squeak »

Solis Occulum is an ability that can be learned by Physickers.

IC Description: Due to intense studies into humanoid physiologies, the Physicker can create a potion that, when applied to the eyes, dilates the pupils to an extreme extent. As such, users of this potion have experienced an effect of heightened visibility in low-light conditions. However, they have also reported that the effect seems to blur their vision when attempting to focus on small or fine details. Futhermore, bright or sudden changes of light have caused extreme pain or disorientation for several minutes.

OOC Description: Physickers can create a small-dose potion that can be used in the eye via a dropper. When used, lighting conditions will increase +1 level, but grant penalties for sensitive, close up work (i.e. lockpicking and stealing). Light brighter than a candle or lantern can cause disorientation or stagger-like effects when introduced to a room (for example, when walking from a darkened tunnel to broad daylight, or someone carrying a large light-bearing piece of equipment).

Historically, atropos belladonna was used to cause dilation of the eyes (and to some extent, still used today). I don't know the flora of Cogg well enough to suggest IG replacements - suggestions helpful.
