Blight Stabilization
Several of the ingredients in the bundle can be combined into a cleansing wash, absorbent powder, and bitter medicinal draught useful when treating exposure to the strange oily sap found in blighted Palakar timber.
The blight can enter the body through prolonged skin contact, contaminated cuts or wounds, contact with the eyes or mouth, or by ingestion. Early symptoms are usually minor, but untreated exposure can worsen over time.
An Alchemical Reagent Bundle can be used to thoroughly clean an exposed creature and prepare a stabilizing treatment. Doing so consumes the bundle.
- Fresh Exposure: The reagents can wash away oily residue before it works deeper into the body, greatly reducing the danger of continued exposure.
- Developing Blight: A creature already showing symptoms can be stabilized, preventing the blight from worsening for 24 hours.
- Existing Symptoms: Stabilization suppresses further progression but does not remove symptoms that have already developed.
- Not a Cure: The ordinary reagent mixture cannot remove an established blight infection. Additional treatment or investigation is required.
