    Name: Slipdust

    Fields: Disable, Single-Use (would have a Supply treasure), Enchant, Control, Illusion?

    PWC: N/A

    Appearance: A gritty, semi-soluble dust with a glittery appearance.

    Function: Slipdust is made from a collection of crushed substances including Craving Powder, Hyoi seed, and Zora eggshell. Shell Dust is used to make the taker much more susceptible to outside suggestions. The most common way of tricking a victim into taking Slipdust is in food or drink; the more diluted it is, the less effect it will have. It is noticable in the mouth, and victims will often note a poor taste or grit stuck between their teeth. However, Slipdust is a very potent substance that in high concentrations can even affect the senses. Those who take it are extremely vulnerable to influence, and can be tricked into doing almost anything if they've taken enough of it.

    Pros:
    -Slipdust can be used to control anyone, even someone who dislikes you
    -Slipdust can be hidden in commonplace food or drink, reducing the chance of being detected.
    -Slipdust also has an aftereffect of slight hazy memory, so it is hard to tell whether or not you have actually ingested it.​

    Limitations:
    -It has a distinctive foul taste and gritty texture, so it is impossible to completely disguise it.
    -It wears off rather quickly compared to most controlling methods, after about four hours.
    -Its ingredients can be difficult to aquire, especially through legal channels if you're trying to keep up a front (Seriously, try explaining why you need Zora eggshells to a market vendor).


    Seriously, this is pretty experimental. Change whatever needs changing, as long as the Zora eggshell and the basic function stays there. Yay!

    Here you go..

    Usually, minor details like what substances go into a treasure are not specifically mentioned, and left up to the user's imagination. Thus you could have "Zora eggshell" be a material if you like. (Do you still call them egg "shells" if the eggs are gooey?) Is it a problem that this is not specifically mentioned on the treasure page?

    Otherwise, it should be as you described.
