Queen of Poison

Queen of poison is a wolfsbane-based ingestion poison that causes a number of simultaneous detrimental effects that make it particularly lethal. Peculiarly, Queen of poison does have a psychoactive effect for those that manage to survive the onslaught of deadly effects first, bringing them close enough to the spirit world to commune with them. Unfortunately, in most cases an individual that reportedly survived the effects of this poison was also later revealed to have contracted lycanthropy. The poison is blue and bitter to the taste, which is unfortunately similar to orvietan, which can also be made from wolfsbane. Queen of poison must be ingested to take effect.
