Pious Russula Dust

Tool - basic

Precious forest mushroom, powdered and laced with preservatives. Temporarily increases perception, reaction time, and pain tolerance.

The Parliament has faced armed insurrection from the province's forest dwellers since unification. Only under the Third Parliament did the military begin to investigate and reverse-engineer the various weapons used against them, the strangest of which were the mushrooms that transformed undisciplined foragers into berserk, insensate warriors deadlier than any foot soldier.

To their frustration, capital scientists have never fully reproduced these effects. This powder represents their most successful attempt.
