	During the maturing process that turns vinum into liao, around one dose in ten thousand matures to a radiant purple. This has come to be known as true liao, or Imperial liao. True liao is extremely rare, powerful, and valuable. The amount of pure liao produced each season varies; it has proved impossible to predict which doses of liao will mature into true liao. The most common use for true liao is to provide a human with a special vision of another time and place, which is held to be one of their [[past life vision\|past lives]]. There are several other uses, however. It can also be used in place of ceremonial liao to significantly empower the effect of a [[religious skills\|religious skill]], or used in the creation of an [[inspirational ~~tomb~~]], for example.
