	As a nation dominated by [[magical skills#magician\|magicians]], Axos produces a large amount of crystal mana. Sometimes there is sufficient surplus that it is available to purchase, but increasingly Axou merchants are dealing in ''tomb dust''. This is a consumable that takes the form of dust or sometimes resin that is either snorted or burned in a flame and the smoke inhaled. It allows the user to tap into their personal reserves of strength to power their magic in a manner familiar to [[apothecary\|apothecaries]] who make a study of ritual [[potion\|potions]]. There are several varieties of tomb dust depending where it is gathered and how it is prepared, effecting what kinds of rituals it can be used with, but they all apparently bear a touch of ''necromantia'' about them.

A pouch of Jarmish spice flavours a single serving of food or drink, and bestows its effects on whoever eats that portion.
