100% in-combat heal, like scented massage oil. --Techrat (talk) 16:44, 28 July 2013 (UTC)

It's been a while since I read the book, but the description of the seed pod, with the motes, reminds me of the seeds (although not the wheel-like pods) in The Amber Spyglass.--Club (#66669) (Talk) 18:32, 28 July 2013 (UTC)

Also removes More Like a Suckrament, which (incidentally) might kill you. Perhaps it removes all debuffs? Has anyone tested it on the Dreadsylvanian curses? --CodeGorilla (talk) 10:49, 6 September 2013 (UTC)

Reference

Perhaps I should just add this... "Your vision goes kinda greenish" makes me think this is definitely a reference to the IF game Photopia, though there is a little bit of subtlety to it. That has a seed pod, and using it turns the world, and the text on your screen, green. The flavor feels very much like Photopia, too. Someone who knows Photopia... this is right, right? --Notsupposedtobehere (talk) 19:56, 16 November 2013 (UTC)

  • I don't know Photopia, but I know computer games. I remember my screen turning green when picking up all kind of healing items in all kind of games. This is not a new thing. If anything it's a reference to that general behavior which everybody knows. I wouldn't think it's even worth mentioning. --Yatsufusa (talk) 06:58, 17 November 2013 (UTC)
