Wyrmwood Medicinal, Arcane

Description: Wyrmwood is a twisted, dark green shrub with thin, needle-like leaves. It has a strong, pungent odor, similar to anise, and grows in the deeper, darker parts of the forest.

Uses: The leaves of Wyrmwood are used in potions and salves to treat fevers and infections. When burned, it produces a smoke that repels insects and wards off evil spirits. It’s also a key ingredient in certain arcane brews and elixirs designed to enhance vision and perception.

Collection: Wyrmwood must be harvested during the twilight hours, when its magical properties are strongest. Herbalists often perform a simple protective chant while cutting the leaves, as the plant is believed to be favored by the forest spirits.
