Sparkroot
Sparkroot, also known as Hybraxia Obensitis, is found in Norsmus and Sephlar regions at the base of alpine mountains. It is a psychedelic plant outlawed by every kingdom except Vanveregund where it is used in brothels to help maximise the pleasure of clients. It has also been known to be used by the sex workers in said brothels at a higher potency to give to more abusive clients for their own protection. The high that Sparkroot promises to induce helps intice the abusers to take copious amounts of it and the overdose can be easily pinned onto them.

Uses, Products & Exploitation
Though Sparkroot is actually psychedlic flower that emits poisonous gases in the springtime, it is they petals they use to create into tonics and the roots is there to help with digestion. Only the high mages from Sephlar regions (comissioned by Vanvergunden borthel owners) can sow the flower on the least day of spring when their Lewardyn enforced robes and gas masks can handle the potency. However they may only do this once as the extraction process can potentially leave one or both of the mages' nostrils with hyposmia.
The Sparkroot is then marinated with Ifbar snot and preserved underground. After summer has passed, the mages then take Sparkroot, have the Ifbar digest it and then extract the remains from their faeces. The undigested petals are then sterilised by Umune drip which dries them out, allowing them to be crushed easily and sprinkled into honeyed water with it's roots.
Despite the process to making Sparkroot tonics is a dangerous and laborious effort, it is relatively cheap to purchase in Varvergunden and excess product can be sold by brothel owners to town doctors who will use the tonic to give to paitients as death's door before they euthenise them.
