Phoenix Tonic
Mercure Elixers is an apothecary that makes extraordinarily powerful potions, but they always come with unintended side effects, requiring a counter potion to be consumed shortly after taking the main potion.
One of their most popular and expensive products is a Phoenix Tonic, made from an actual Phoenix feather, and able to heal virtually any wound imaginable. By any wound, it means literally any wound, whether its missing limbs, a hole in the head, a terrible disease, shattered bones, missing bones, and much more! The issue is that phoenix pinions gathered from hunting phoenixes are corrupted with the power of the dragon lord Xiralgus the Nova.
The effects of drinking one of these potions is similar to drinking an elixer of youth from the barony of Palma. An uncomfortably cold feeling will rise and persist for years after, and the counter potion Mercure Elixers produced does little to offset this effect. It can be cured with a regimen of Pure Potions or another similar item, and if you can afford a phoenix tonic, you can afford the necessary medicine to remove dragon corruption. Because of this, no one really sees it as an issue.
Phoenixes are very powerful firebirds, and most didn't even think it was possible to hunt such a creature. No one even truly knows how Mercure Elixers was able to come across enough phoenix pinions to produce these potions on a large scale. Some say they have a large hunting operation in the Xiral Islands, and others say they captured a phoenix and keep it alive, harvesting its feathers every so often. Rumors are that watchers will freeze the poor creature with ice magic if it attempts to end itself through immolation.

"Phoenixes are teachers and sacred animals to us healers and I just don't know why people think hunting them for their feathers is a good idea.A Phoenix will present its feather to you, but only if it wants to. If it doesn't, then the corruption of Xiralgus is overpowering and will quickly make you sicker than you ever were before you took these so-called potions!
