Dead

Created by Summon Worlds creator

This potion carries the essence of ages long past, its murky liquid swirling with the weight of centuries. When consumed, the drinker's body grows cold and pallid, as their vitality seems to drain away into shadow. For the next hour, the imbiber appears as though they have been touched by death itself, gaining the ability to move undetected among undead creatures who perceive them as one of their own. Their heartbeat slows to an imperceptible rhythm, and their breath becomes invisible even in the coldest air. Any living creature that observes them closely may notice an unsettling absence of warmth and the faint scent of grave earth. The potion's effects fade gradually, color and warmth returning to the drinker's flesh as the hour concludes. Some say this draught was first brewed by necromancers seeking passage through the lands of the dead.
