Well, technically it relates to the substance that when mixed with win makes it Spellslayer wine, for the covert supression of a Mage's Art. The article got me thinking, what methods have there been in use in the Realms to even the playing field, so to speak? We already had Mage Shackles for direct magic mitigation. And I remember Alustriel holding a meeting in a Dead Magic Zone to achieve much the same effect. And Halruaa's magic dead Jordaini were certainly a step in that direction. Were there others that people can remember? Just as a matter of interest of course. The blurb on the article gives enough of an idea about its function, the rest is (just) a rather good description of its discovery, preparation, effects and dangers as well as a couple of quite interesting conflicts (adventure hooks), so even those who don't have access to it (most of the people around here it seems) should feel free to pitch in. All responses appreciated!
