Aquae Lucidius

Its venom makes the wyvern widely sought by potion-makers, alchemists, and crafters of potent liquor called aquae lucidius.

Those who drink a serving of the stuff must make a Difficulty 5/13 Special Skill: Drinking test, the result of which determines the drinker’s general reaction to the brew.
- Increase the Difficulty by 1 for each additional serving consumed after the first.
Any pony who fails the test passes out after 1d6 minutes of dizzying, ugly hallucinations that leave him rattled and uneasy (downgrade to Mind) for 1d6 hours.
Ponies who succeed react to the drink based on their Dragon Die result, compared to the table below.
- (No actual magic effects take place but drinkers may be difficult to convince of that.)

Roll the Dice

1	“I can see through time!”
2	“You’re all just made up of firelight and shadows, you know, flavored like blue and yellow. If I douse you, you might go out. Wouldn’t want that.”
3	“I had a brief vision of my great-grandmother, though she was eating turnips with a modest dragon and Andraste was there putting salt on everything.”
4	“It was as though my soul took wing and floated about my head.”
5	“I feel strange but also good!”
6	“That stuff works well enough. ‘Nother round, anyone?”

Crafting any sized batch of aquae lucidius requires an advanced Difficulty 6 Keen Knowledge: Brewing test; each roll represents about an hour’s work.

A miniscule quantity of wyvern venom remaining in the aquae after distillation results in a unique hallucinatory effect.
Just how effective wyvern venom is at enhancing potions and alchemical recipes is either a closely guarded secret or a continuing mystery; opinions differ.
