    Name: Cloud Seed (Eat your heart out, Clooby)
    PWC: Flat.
    Description: This small seed appears in the form a white fruit, that looks quite similar to its namesake. Upon breaking, the fruit releases a white gas, not unlike smoke, that forms into a cloud at the point of impact. Once fully formed, the cloud becomes partially solid and will hover in place for about a minute, before fully dissipating. During this time, the cloud is able to support weights of up to a hundred pounds without sinking, but will begin to descend at varying rates with weights exceeding this amount.

    Potential Seed Effects for Botany:

    Invisible Mule: When breaking open a seed from a supply with this effect, the user can rub the oils from the seed an some inanimate object. Small wisps of clouds will surround the object and lift it into the air, and will closely follow the user for several hours. The other effects of the seed will take their normal effect on said object.

    Gravity Punch: After one seed is eaten, the next the next physical contact the eater makes will cause the enemy to be promptly lifted into the air a few feet, and slammed back into the ground. Indirect hits, such as from a sword or projectile, are unaffected.

    Bridge: Similar in effect to the base seed, a supply with this effect can be used to create a line of solid cloud, as opposed to a platform. Upon cracking open the seed, the user indicates some area within 30 meters, at which point a cloud bridge will arc to that point from where they are standing. The bridge is wide enough only to accommodate one person's passage at a time, but its weight limits are effectively doubled.

    Walk: By holding a seed with this effect tightly, the user's feet are surrounded by protective clouds, allowing them to cross dangerous or otherwise unstable surfaces, such as water or lava. The seed is expended of energy after a minute. Note that this does not protect from other hazards, such as the residual heat from molten lava.

    Mind: Ingestion of this seed lightens the thoughts of the user, allowing for greater concentration of spellcasting. For a minute's time, the ingester is treated as if they had an additional level of Magic Power with respect a single spell they can cast. Repeated ingestion of a seed with this effect is dangerous, causing crippling migraines if a second is ingested within an hour of the first. No more than two should ever be ingested within a single day.

    Roil: By cracking open this seed into water, up to three cubic feet of that liquid will begin to quickly boil, until it has all boiled off into steam.

    Potential Elixir Effects:

    Choking Mists: [1 Cloud + 1 Smoke] By uncorking this bottle and aiming it in a direction, a billowing cloud of mist will be expelled forth, covering an area of roughly fifteen cubic feet. The mist is nearly impossible to see through, and those unfortunate enough to breath it in are overcome with the need to cough inconsolably.

    Thunder Cloud: [2 Cloud + 2 Crackle] Uncorking this bottle unleashes a tiny thundercloud, which will follow the user for an hour. During this time, the user may indicate a target in range by merely pointing at it, at which point the cloud will relentlessly fire [[Magic Bolt]]s at the target every 90 seconds. Like the spell, these projectiles can be reflected and rebounded by strikes against them.

    Air Walk: [2 Cloud + 2 Pegasus] By ingesting this potion, the user is able to walk through the air as easily as he might walk on the ground, for a duration of ten minutes. Running, however, does not appear to have any effect.

    Bottled Cushion: [1 Cloud + 1 Compaction] By breaking this bottle open against a surface, a large billowing cloud is released, covering a circular area with a diameter of twenty feet. Any objects to fall within this area are gently caught, and let to the ground.

    Mobile Baba: [2 Cloud + 2 Baba] This bottled fertilizer can be spread across an area up to thirty feet (or 10 meters) across. Seconds after it is placed, up to three carnivorous Deku Baba plants will sprout up, each about as tall as an adult Hylian. Each springs up from the ground, rooted deeply in a cloud, granting the Babas mobility. Each is able to move at roughly the walking pace of a Hylian.

    This seed is actually fully formed with Botany effects and everything. :rpt: I like it.

    The closest thing I can see to a problem is that they arguably resemble Breath Seeds in their appearance: one is a white cloud, while another is white cotton. Ideally the appearance could change slightly, somehow--or specifically be something solid like a cartoonish cloud, instead of wispy like cotton.

    I'll need to clarify a few things when I add it to the library (e.g. what the limit is on Invisible Mule), but for the most part this seems like an excellent treasure. I particularly like the Thunder Cloud and Mobile Baba potions. Expect it to be added soon!

    The new material has been added, as well as its supply. Relevant pages have been edited to include the new elixirs, too.
