Glowpaste Item in Manifold Sky | World Anvil

Glowpaste

Glowpaste is a traditionally Verdial form of makeup or body paint incorporating the phosphorescent spores of fungi native to Caudal D. As the name implies, glowpaste glows once applied, so long as it has been exposed to sunlight or a continuous source of ultraviolet light is present (i.e. the daylight of the Distal Tesseract). A typical jar of glowpaste contains spores which only glow in a single color, though the rare admixture sometimes makes its way to the markets.

Significance

For the Vale Verdials, glowpaste serves a similar social function to tattoos, makeup, or face paint in other cultures. It is applied sparingly by both genders to accentuate one's features and as a form of self-expression, though it isn't considered a necessity in this regard. A deft application of glowpaste denotes the wearer as an individual of culture, moderation, and perhaps wealth, while overuse is regarded as vulgar.
