    Name: Poison Gland
    PWC: N/A
    Field(s): Disable, Poison (idk, what fields does poison fall under?)

    Function: Similar to the Curse of Gills in that this treasure represents a physical part of a character. This treasure gives the character a set of poison glands (the location of which is up to the player) which can be used as an offensive technique. Poison may be weaponised in either the teeth, fangs, claws, fingernails, or other assorted protrusions on the character's body (for example, a Lizalfos' tail spines or a Deku Scrub's thorns). However, it cannot be weaponised in multiple unrelated locations at once (for example, a character cannot have both a poisonous bite and poisonous claws.)
    The initial treasure would be Lower Cost and be only a mild poison- enough to cause disorientation, nausea and mild feverish behaviour.

    An augment could be purchased that strengthens the poison's effects, causing vomiting, high fevers, hallucinations and possibly death if enough poison is injected.

    A second augment might allow a character to weaponise their poison in two locations at once (for example, both teeth and claws.

    Here you go Ink. Let me know if there are any details you want to change.

    Name: Poison Gland
    PWC: Courage
    Type: Disable, Earth
    Cost: Lower Cost

    Whether through training or more natural means, the user possesses a poisonous gland on a location on their body chosen when obtaining this treasure. This location must be some sort of appendage or weaponized part of their body, such as claws, fingernails, teeth, or fangs, though more unusual body parts may also apply if the user possesses them(such as a Lizalfos' tail or a Deku Scrub's thorns). On command, the user may cause the poison gland to secret a mild poison, quickly coating the associated appendage. While the user is immune to the effects of their poison(but not the effects of other's), within a minute after direct contact this poison can cause light disorientation, nausea, and mild feverish behavior. Small doses wear off rather quickly once direct contact is broken, but larger doses require a longer resting period or magical restoration to remove. The poison is not lethal even in high doses, but is potent enough to incapacitate an individual.

    Augment: Enhanced Poison
    PWC: Courage(Or Power?)
    Cost: High

    The user can gain the Enhanced Poison augment simultaneously with the original treasure for an additional cost, or as a separate treasure at a later time. The potency of the poison gland's poison increases. Within a minute after direct contact, this poison can cause vomiting, high fevers, and hallucinations. Small doses wear off rather quickly once direct contact is broken, but larger doses require a longer resting period or magical restoration to remove. It is potent enough to kill in high enough doses.

    Augment: Extra Appendage
    PWC: Courage
    Cost: Lower Cost

    The user can gain the Extra Appendage augment simultaneously with the original treasure for an additional cost, or as a separate treasure at a later time. The user is able to choose an additional location to have a poisonous gland. This must be a different location than what the user has already chosen. This treasure may be obtained multiple times. Each time, the user chooses a different location to have a poison gland.

    Here you go. The page is mostly how SM worded it, with only minor changes to word flow.

    However, I did definitively change two things:
    * The costs are slightly different. I tried to make them comparable to other treasures with similar effects.
    * The poison now loses its potency if separated from the gland for more than a minute. (Otherwise one could, theoretically, farm gallons of this poison and bathe in it.)

    Let me know if that ain't good. :deku: Or whatever.
