History & Usage

Everyday use

Skeletonleaf is commonly used as a cleanser to purge one's body of disease, poisons, and ideally any negative spiritual debris accompanying it. Among tribal folk, ragweed is also used as a way for the commoners to experience the effects of astral projection and visit loved ones from other tribes.

Manufacturing & Products

Sages favour skeletonleaf for its extensive medicinal properties, which a half-competent alchemist can harness and brew an incredibly effective cure-all draught.
Mystics also covet skeletonleaf for the mystical effects it can provide, and many have used skeletonleaf to brew dreamwalking potions and draughts that simulate death, allowing the imbiber to speak with spirits and cross the threshold into the land of the dead.

Hazards

Skeletonleaf's variety of effects means that careful instructions must be followed to achieve the correct potency for a potion. Many who have over-brewed skeletonleaf potions have accidentally activated its more mystical properties, and upon consuming what they believe is a healing potion have instead found themselves assaulted by the voices of the recently deceased.
