Drug: Duramax
The following poster was found near an old graveyard in the Harbor, written in the language of the Old Folk using the scripts of Mazhkazor and Magadhan. The note is 30 years old and the message is as follows:
What do you do if you've suffered a severe bullet-wound??? Or maybe you've been poisoned??? Perhaps you're just having a bad day??? Well, all your problems can be solved with the help of Duramax!!!
Duramax is a 100% organic polysynthetic drug costing 70 Stones per pill. A full bottle of pills costs 14,000 Stones. Duramax is an uplifter, a gateway to the heavens. Pop one pill and all your troubles fade away.
Duramax also grants the user the following special abilities: superhuman strength (strong enough to lift 50 tons or more), speed, endurance, agility, healing factor, enhanced intelligence, and enhanced natural attributes as well, the ability to negate damage caused by terminal illnesses and permanent injuries while not actually healing. These effects last for 18 hours.
Duramax Flavors include: Tang (has the fruity aroma of fresh strawberries), Lavish (has the decadent and rich taste of chocolates and dense sweets) and Extravagant (has the taste of "pure sunshine", more flavorful than Tang and Lavish).
With Duramax, start killing your problems with one pill a day!!!
Note: Take only one Duramax every 72 hours. Consuming more than one pill of Duramax daily will result in the following side-effects: ailments ranging from greater memory loss to seizures and/or heart-attacks. If the consumer takes too much Duramax, it will cause the person to suffer a memory loss episode and vomiting. It's also shown that it can cause users to become very groggy, as well as erratic. Too much Duramax has been known to cause severe changes to the user's chemistry: in the event that they do take the drug again after suffering effects, the user suffers paranoid delusions, vomiting, seizures and, in severe cases, death from internal-bleeding.
It is unknown whether Duramax is still being sold, although high prices for pills on the black-market have increased all over Heimland since 20 AE.

Daamn, Duramax sounds crazy! How easy is/was it to come by? I'm presuming (and hoping) this drug was illegal, but was it ever used for any military purposes due to the feats of strength?
I just finished some new art in my latest article: Pinecrest College of Aviation!
Duramax must have been really rare back in the day when the Folk were still around, especially since it must have been illegal for normal citizens to purchase the pill. But I suppose that after the Old Folk vanished, people were free to buy as much of the drug as they wanted, with only minor regulations from the Peacekeepers. Perhaps Duramax was once used by the Old Folk in their experiments when the use of Wild-Magic started to decrease. However, nobody actually knows where Duramax came from or who first made it. Perhaps it came from some other dimension. But no one really knows.
