Legend

“Almost Divine after but a small zip…”

History

Aelthoria Luminara, a legendary alchemist and seeker of mystical knowledge, is renowned for her boundless curiosity and insatiable quest for rare and potent herbs. Among her many accomplishments, she is best remembered for her discovery of the mystical herb that came to be known as “Ethereal Enigma.” Aelthoria’s magical expeditions led her to uncharted lands and ancient ruins, where she unveiled long-forgotten secrets hidden within the natural world. Her incredible feats in uncovering the secrets of Ethereal Enigma earned her the title of the “Enchantress of the Verdant Mysteries.”

Aelthoria Luminara’s quest for elusive herbs and forgotten knowledge took her deep into the heart of the Enchanted Forest, a place whispered to hold the keys to mystical powers. There, amidst the ancient trees and ethereal glimmers, she stumbled upon the herb that would change her destiny. Guided by the mystical energies that seemed to emanate from the herb itself, Aelthoria named it “Ethereal Enigma” for its enigmatic nature and ethereal glow. As she plucked the purplish flowers with their mesmerising yellow-red centres, she sensed a powerful aura surrounding the herb, and she knew that she had found something truly extraordinary.

Product

The herb is used to produce Ethereal Enigma Powder.

Storage: The powder must be stored in carefully woven pouches made of celestial silk, sealed with ancient runes, to preserve its mystical properties and prevent dissipation of its magical essence.

Use: Inhale a small amount of the fine powder through the nostrils.

Effect: The Ethereal Enigma powder grants the user an ephemeral boost to their physical and mystical attributes, enhancing their strength, agility, perception, and magical prowess. The heightened state lasts for a short duration before gradually subsiding.

Caution

Ethereal Enigma is highly addictive due to the euphoric and empowering effects it grants. Overuse or prolonged exposure to the herb can lead to dependency and withdrawal symptoms, making it a delicate and potentially dangerous substance to handle.
