Mogrant Drugs
Native Lashunta have domesticated smaller and less aggressive strains of Harpy Jasmine to exploit its natural psychic abilities, even developing techniques for breeding and pruning the jasmine to coax out different spell-like abilities: mourning wreaths record memories of a dying loved one, the brilliant yellow blossoms of float canary induce a relaxing trance, and scream blossoms trap traumatic memories for psychiatric patients to confront in a controlled environment. Given these uses, biologists hypothesize that cousins of harpy jasmine—such as the desert-dwelling pyro flower or the leviathan lilies that grow in tropical lakes—were once domesticated by far older societies before being released into the wild.
Despite the thriving niche market, the most common industrial application for harpy jasmine remains the cultivation of psychic drugs called mogrants. These specialty pharmaceuticals contain processed harpy jasmine nerve clusters that temporarily bond with the user’s nervous system to grant psychic spell-like abilities. Once the drug’s duration passes, the user loses the granted spell-like abilities as their immune system destroys the foreign cells. The user’s immune system remains in a heightened state for 24 hours afterward; during this period, a creature can gain any of the non-spell benefits of additional doses of mogrants but no spell-like abilities. While they can provide relatively cheap and reliable psychic powers, mogrants also inflict narcotic side-effects, meaning they rarely see use except by criminals, reckless start-up companies, cultists, and adventurers.
