Main Ingredient
::: Purple Twilight (Amanita Steward) is a mushroom whose spores are the essential component in Void+1 Cola :::
::: This organism entered the origin universe when its spores latched onto a Void+1 researcher during an expedition :::
::: It gets its name from the surreal, purple “twilight” effect produced by its spores as they drift out from the darkness of caves, glowing in hues that evoke an otherworldly atmosphere. Why it is classified as “Amanita”, or even called a mushroom is unclear :::
::: Life Cycle:
1 / Spore
Glowing, purple spores encased in a translucent, plasma-like sphere that drift in the air.
2 / Hyphae
Upon contact with rocky surfaces, the spores take root, growing into hyphae that anchor to mineral-rich stones.
3 / Crystal
If undisturbed by sunlight, the hyphae harness magnetic energy from the terrain and transform into crystal formations. Eventually, this energy compresses until the crystal bursts, dispersing its spores.
::: Properties:
* Biological access to the Aether.
* Instantaneous communication with all parts of itself through all space. /// This is how it is used as a means of influence via V+1 Cola ///
* Highly addictive.
* Flavor unlike anything found in the origin.
::: Monopoly:
Void+1 Laboratories hold a monopoly over the production, harvest, and utilization of Purple Twilight. Private possession, use or cultivation is strictly prohibited and severely punishable by law.
