Meketta
The Meketta plant and the powder that could be made from it, thanks to it being lost and only existing for such a short time historical speaking, some scholars believe that the powder mentioned in the texts is just some regular drug like mane that is still in use today due to on the surface, similar effects it has on the mind of the user.
While its effects are commonly believed to be the result of the plant itself, it's also believed by some that the plant got its power due to some unknown knowledge about the magic that has been lost along with the plant.
