Mandragora was always known for its close connection to höd.It was used as a major ingredient for most of the alchemical brews, giving an amplification to any effect provided.

After some time and research on Mandragora it was discovered that the source of their magical abilities was it’s natural disposition to absorbing höd when planted on the ground. This sparked a golden age for potion brewing, trying to find a way to migrate the höd absorbed by Mandragora directly into the human body. And they succeeded they made a concoction that when injected directly to the bone marrow it allowed people to acquire incredible physical prowess, thus leading to the creation of magic knights.

The weird part was that magic knights couldn’t actually use höd, just as everyone else they couldn’t cast a single spell. Not even a cantrip nada. However they boasted extraordinary strength, stamina, memorization and reflexes. High-Ranking magic knights were even written in legends as demigods, and had many cults open in their name. But that is something very far off for a novice knight. I mean remember, they can’t even use höd....And that is where human ingenuity comes in place. Through rigorous research and countless hours in the forge the first magic weapon came into being.

This weapon uses Mandragora officinarum as fuel and through clever use of certain runes it produces spells. With that being said this only works if you activate mandragora’s disposition by letting it detect concentrated höd nearby. And höd absorbed by the body has a long duration of minimal activity even after death.

You could be reading stolen content. Head to the original site for the genuine story.

The macabre scene of a dead magic knight is revolting enough to cause someone to hallucinate, or so I have heard. There rumours that I heard from a young age were people would witness terrifying ghosts around magic knight carcasses....It does seem to calm down after a while though.

Anyway the most important thing about Mandragora officinarum is that different brews have different effects. For example Mandragora and Datura stramonium concoction when injected to the bone marrow offer a higher degree of memorization in the cost of a colder personality while Mandragora and Ilex aquifolium provide resistance to mental diseases and confusion in the cost of a self-righteous attitude. In some families they have even started adding a bone powder made of their ancestors bones in an attempt to save money on alchemical ingredients.

And this concludes today’s lecture on höd. I should first get Mandragora Officiranum though if I want to live past 21. I could go to polperro city. There should be a pawn shop to sell my books there , and then I will go to the local alchemist. The road to the city is not that long.. about half an hour if I go there by foot.

“Now we see a rare sight, the average human can pick up at most 18 books when wanting to travel a long distance but this specimen of peak physical health can pick up -5 more, IMPECABLE”

I’m really making a fool of my self talking like this.......

Anyway ONWARDS WE GO
