Anesthetics of the Happy Tails Asylum: Mandrake Recipe

Kenelm wrote:Which part of the mandrake is used?
Mostly the roots, despite the fact all parts of a mandrake are poisonous. I would also use nightshade IC, but I'm not sure if it exists in Erinn and I'll just go off of what I KNOW exists instead.

What are these "other stabilizing herbs?"
Base herbs. Base potions. Unfortunately, the herbs in game have little descriptions to go off of, so these are the only ones known to be used in potions as a stabilizing 'base' of sorts..and one of those is a base potion, not a base herb. Typically, in the anesthetic, both are used to get a stronger result, much like both would be used with a mana herb to make MP100 potions instead of just MP50.

Assuming no training whatsoever, what are the chances of death due to miscalculations or adverse reactions by available dosing methods?
Chances of death is low, as the mandrake's poison is not fully concentrated. There is a chance of the patient going into a coma if the dosage is too much for their body. Death would occur if they're not fed, of course. I am not sure if people breath unassisted while in a coma, but if not..that's another way they could die. However long the coma lasts is up to the person that was placed in it, though it must be a base period of one in-game week(7 days in-game). If they wish it to last longer, that is up to them.

Such dosages would be 5+ concentrated consumed doses(7+ concentrated inhaled ) in one in-game day to an average young adult/adult(16+ years in-game age)
3+ in one in-game day for younger.
Possibility of coma for 1 dose if the person is 3 years of age or younger.
Weak dosages will not cause a coma, except in persons 3 years of age or younger.

Edit: Which character is this getting applied to?
Soifa in particular, though it'd be used in the Happy Tails Asylum in general, so she would be assigning it to the staff there. If this is a problem, let me know.

Which other nightshade did you have in mind? //Yes, I used "other." Do a little digging if you want to learn why.
Henbane was considered.

As long as no one biases success over failure, I should be a happy camper.
...If you could reword this I'd like that. I dunno what you mean here. >///>

The specific character isn't really a problem, given this use of the mandrake along with a handful of other toxic plants was common medical practice in the game's setting.
Well, a majority of my other characters won't be using it, but it will be a commonly used thing in the asylum, so people that work there could be provided with it, which will include other player characters, if that is alright. I made sure to do a little research on anesthetics in time periods like the one in Mabi so it would fit.

Which part of the Henbane would be used?

Using my phone to reply, so excuse if I typo or miss something. I looked into things in the nightshade family, but I stopped when I figured I couldn't prove they exist in Erinn and it's best to go off of something verified. Know what I meant?

Any other nightshades being considered? If so, which parts?

No others considered, though I continue research out of curiousity.

("Bias" is a synonym of "favor." You should know that! ) Successes would be the desired goal. Failures would be death, or something that forces an end to the dosing. The chances of success and failure are also completely dependent on how the correct dose is approached.

Makes..a little more sense, but are you asking a question or something? I can't tell.

This seems more of an application for "Anesthetic: Mandrake Solution" rather than the general field of anesthesiology. Title may be misleading, so feel it may want to be more specific. =D

You acknowledge the combat possibilities with such a potion, aye?

I would also assume that, as this is a general use sort of thing, anyone with potions making at a certain rank may create such a potion?

I always give my titles silly, yet slightly applicable, names..Though you're right. I'll fix that.

Not sure what you mean. I did include what could happen IF injected, but to my knowledge, syringes do not..YET..exist. It is a possibility, though very slight at the moment, and the information on injecting this recipe is already in the first post.

Anyone with potion making in general could try. I won't assign an actual rank to it, but maybe suggest at least rank potion making above Novice..

I like that suggestion Xeek, very nice.
