Professor Veratismo's Quaff 'n Huff Snuff

This tiny compact holds a colorless powder with the slightest astringent smell.

Keywords: Potion, Psionic

Item Prerequisite: The roots of a just-budded nightshade

Project Source: Texts or lore in Caelian

Project Roll Characteristic: Reason

Project Goal: 45

Effect: As a maneuver, you sprinkle a dose of this powder onto food or drink, or blow it at an adjacent creature who is grabbed, restrained, or unconscious. A creature who is exposed to blown powder (even if they hold their breath) or consumes a dose of the powder must communicate in only true statements for 1 hour. Additionally, other creatures gain an edge on Intuition and Presence tests made to convince the target to communicate, or to read the target's emotions. Any such creature has a double edge on the test if the target doesn't realize they've been affected by the snuff.
