Lesson 7) Hazardous Herbs
Chapter 7
- W.H.I.P.S. is the classification system for hazardous magical plants
- There are six classes of dangerous plants, with some plants falling into multiple classes
- Class A is the "Odorous" class, with three subclasses: Level One, Level Two, and Level Three
- Level One plants can cause immediate death through difficulty breathing
- Level Two plants can cause death over time through poison or respiratory irritation
- Level Three plants can cause paralysis, disorientation, or deep sleep
- Examples of Level Three plants include the spider flower, which causes paralysis upon inhalation of its pollen
- Class B: Physically Aggressive
- Includes plants that can intentionally cause damage when threatened or for food
- Abilities include strangulation, biting, cutting, and pummeling
- Examples: Devil's Snare (strangulation), Fanged Geranium (biting), Spiky Bush (cutting)
- Class C: Toxic
- Plants toxic to humans, can be classified based on the amount needed for a lethal dose
- Two types: poisonous (chemical toxins) and venomous (inject toxins)
- Examples: Belladonna (poisonous), Venomous Tentacula (venomous)
- Class D: Infectious
- Two subclasses: naturally infectious (spread viruses) and diseased (contracted illness)
- Examples: Coughagus Ivy (naturally infectious), diseased plants vary
- Class E: Burning
- Plants that cause destruction of skin or materials they touch
- Burning can be caused by acids, bases, or extreme temperatures
- Examples: Fire Seed Bush (acidic burning), Arctic Aloe (freezing)
- Class F: Reactive
- Plants that react to other materials or touch, often resulting in explosions or smoke
- Examples: Gunpowder Gloriosa (combusts when exposed to sunlight)
