Poisons

Because of the need to recognize the auras of animals, low magic is a prerequisite for this skill. Once you master a poison, you will be able to discern what creatures produce the poison. You will need to kill the creature in order to extract poison from it. Note that the more skilled you are in poisons, the more poison you will be able to extract.

Immunity

Syntax

IMMUNIZE

By taking a dose of poison, you will be able to train your body to become majorly resistant to poison. This is not an instantaneous process. Once your body is prepared to IMMUNIZE itself, you must take a sip of the poison you wish to be immune to. Then, at the beginning of the next month, you will find yourself greatly immune from its effects. Note that this only works against poisons, not against other spells that may give the same effect.

Additional Notes:

These poisons will cause these afflictions. Note that only unlinked astral creatures produce poison, though linked ones still give the same afflictions.
