Addiction Type: Psychological
Effect: Astral projection Exotic Ingredient: A natural herbal radical of pollen from the red orchid of Southeast Asia. This compound forces the user, even a mundane, to astrally project. This grants all users, including mundanes, access to the metaplanes if they are in the company of a spirit guide or initiate. At the end of the duration, the user suffers 10 boxes of Stun damage (unresisted). Characters must return to their bodies before the duration ends or they die. Shade allows Awakened users to retain their astral form longer than normal, adding the duration of the drug to their normal astral time.
