THE ENCYCLOPEDIA:
BASIC HERBOLOGY:
Herbs can be used for a variety of magic, from Mind control to sleep induction. Most herbs must be paired with sage that has been blessed beforehand for them to achieve their intended magical function. Humans and elves are the main practitioners of Herb magic, as most do not possess any magical abilities beyond a seventh sense and/or third eye abilities such as telepathy and telekinesis.
