These effects are very pronounced if you are a member of the naga lineage.	Inhaling the steam from this infusion causes you to enter a trance during which you suffer a brief but intense vision. This vision is provided by a referee, and will contain information about things that are happening, have happened or may happen at the event. There is no way to direct this vision towards a specific topic.

Leaden Quicksilver	You become highly motivated to pursue and achieve your goals, whatever they may be. Anything that stands in the way of your success is an obstacle to be overcome, although you feel an urge to avoid personal physical confrontation. Other people should follow your advice because you alone know what is best for them. Anyone who refuses to heed your suggestions is probably plotting against you.	If you possess the Autumn lore skill then you can use up to 3 personal mana as if it were crystal mana on the next Autumn ritual that you perform within ten minutes.	1	3	1	2	1	0	0	0	8
Essence of Verdigris	You feel an urge to test your skills against others. It is easy to become contrary and stubborn, to try and force people into competing with you. Only the competition matters - winning or losing is irrelevant.	If you possess the Autumn lore skill then you gain three additional ranks to the next Autumn ritual that you perform within ten minutes, subject to the normal rules for effective skill. This is a tonic; the effect of any other tonic you have drunk immediately ends.	0	3	0	3	1	1	0	1	9
