Alchemical injector
What is this piece of equipment?
The alchemical injector is an item capable of injecting a liquid under a surface that can puncture. Currently, it is exclusively used to treat patients infected by blight rot, but those around Tacillia who know this item are thinking of other use cases.
Who invented it and how it was invented?
It is the brainchild of the bugbear treasure hunter, Zank, who accidentally pressed down on a round, thin, hollow piece of equipment during one of his scavenger hunts, and that equipment injected some liquid under his skin. The blight rot ravages his home forest, and he was thinking about how this could help his people. He knew that the blight slime mucus could protect against the blight, and maybe if it was injected under the skin of an infected, it could do more good. He met with quite a few people during his hunts. With the help of an alchemist, a jeweler, and a mender, they created the alchemical injector and found the right amount of blight slime mucus that could help a contaminated patient.
What does it look like?
It has three major parts: a crystal vial that contains the concentrated and purified mucus; a sharp and hollow silver needle that can penetrate the skin and inject the mucus under it; and a bellows, a plunger, or something that has the necessary pressure to push the mucus from the vial through the needle into the patient's body.
How do you use it?
First, you create the purified and concentrated mucus. This can be stored in separate crystal vials or in bigger containers, and the vial can be filled before use. Alchemists usually create these vials. Then, you attach the vial to the silver needle. Jewelers create these needles. You push the needle under the skin, and with the help of the bellows that any handyperson can make, the concentrated mucus is injected under the skin. The patients say it is a painful process but still preferred to the blight slowly destroying the body.
What are its effects?
The alchemical injector itself doesn't affect anything. But the mucus it injects into a body can stop the spread of the blight or even cure it completely. Unfortunately, if the blight heavily taints someone, even these will not help to save the patient.
It is a genius piece of equipment. Hopefully, we will find other uses for it when we discover treatments for different illnesses
