To use: Put five drops of potion and one drop of the patient's blood into a dish. Do not stir. Do not consume.

Appearance

When properly brewed, completely clear. Do not use if cloudy or colored. Has a slight sweet smell when no blood is in it, but the smell will get progressively worse with how high the level of poison is in the blood. With lethal amounts in blood, it will take on a smell of rot.

Effects and Duration

Once the blood is added the potion will take on a color to show the level of poison in the blood. It ranges from clear, no poison, to black, lethal amounts of poison. Potion will take on a progressively darker shade of pink.

Do not consume. The potion is made to destroy any blood cells it comes in contact with so it can measure any remaining poison, so it can cause dramatic blood loss. If enough is consumed it can be lethal. Counter-act with a Blood-Replenishing Potion quickly after consumption.

Regulation and Skill Level

Controlled. Only certified Healers are allowed to make this potion. Advanced.
