Ritualistic Hallucination

This little plant has some very powerful effects on the mind. Don't take too much, or you may not like the results. It is used for breaking the ties to this plane of existence and communicating with the spirits of the lands around you. Also I highly suggest that you only partake in a place where you are able to guarantee safety.
— Master Druid instructing apprentice in the proper utilization of the spirit mushroom
  There is a small mushroom deep in the mountain forests of Corrigenda called the spirit mushroom. It has Psychotropic effects, freeing the mind from the body and allowing it to roam the countryside and communicating with the nature spirits of an area. There is much a druid can learn from the nature spirits for they see and hear everything and are vicious gossips.   The amount ingested determines the length of time in which a mind can roam away from the body. The longer the mind is away from the body the worse the resulting headache and incontinence the ingester will have afterwards. If the dose is sufficiently small enough the headache will be mild and incontinence non-existent. The difficulty always comes in trying to determine the correct amount for each person in order to achieve the desired mind freeing effect. Too little and all you will end up with light tracers whenever you turn your head. Too much and well you will soil your britches in a horrible way while your mind is off wandering the countryside and the resulting headache could last for days.
