Bliss
Tis Folly To Be Wise
Bliss comes in many forms. These forms are often used for similar purposes that do not require a magician in order to use them. Apart from its standard liquid form, Bliss is primarily a preventative, rather than a treatment. Its liquid form is the only form that can actually treat Candlelight, but the lower forms are designed to prevent it from happening in the first place
Liquid Bliss
During the procedure, Bliss is used in a clear liquid form. This liquid enters the bloodstream through injection shortly before the procedure begins. This is regarded as the quickest and most efficient method of spreading Bliss through the body and is the only way to treat Candlelight.
Bliss Therapy
A common form of Bliss carried by many individuals is a small container filled with an aromatic form of the drug. By opening the container, one can simply inhaled the drug to achieve minor sedation and temporary alleviation of Candlelight. The goal is to prevent an increase in Candlelight while the drug is in the system, as anything that causes candlight will be forgotten when the drug wears off after about 3 hours.
Many have come to rely on this form too much and often experience short and long term memory loss as a result. It is recommended that one only uses this particular form once or twice a day, as it is incredibly potent.
The Blue Pill
Some of the larger organizations are able to afford medication given to those who operate within them. This usually comes In the form of a small blue gel capsule. This form of bliss is designed to give you 24 hour prevention of increased Candlelight. Very few people are able to afford it in the amount needed to truly sustain its effects but it is often considered a rare and valuable to those in the field who stumble across it. A common problem is that individuals often forget their stash of pills and leave it behind. It is also, sought when searching the bodies of fallen operatives of the web.
Effects
Side effects both long-term and short-term, sprung up during the time that Bliss has been in use. It tends to cause recurring nightmares in those who choose to retain most of the information from the memories. The worst side effects always occur to those who do not wish to have that procedure. Many citizens have been forced to take the drug and upon doing so either never survive the procedure due to the constant struggle of resisting the surgery, or are left with debilitating mental illnesses. Those who do not suffer these extreme side effects, but still resist often go through life with a different outlook.
Many individuals will feel a sense of impending dread or feel like something is missing and they can never truly figure out what. Their ability to experience positive emotion becomes heavily suppressed and they are unable to find much joy for the rest of their lives.
For this reason, Bliss is only used by the willing and several tests must be passed in order to determine whether the individual is truly willing or simply doing what they feel they should do. The resistance comes from the subconscious and not of the conscious mind. This fact alone means that detailed survey of the psyche is required before the procedure can begin.
