Mandragora*
Challenge: N/A (I will figure this out before I post for a cert)
Art is finished and has been posted! (I will update this when I can but I don't have access to the file right now!)
Attacks: Sailor Scout Attack: Arnica Sprout
Arnica waves his hand and a three foot ring of Mandragora flowers sprout around a single target within his line of vision. Anyone caught within this ring will immediately feel themselves falling subject to Mandragora poisoning, which can include blurred vision, dry mouth, dizziness, headache, nausea, feeling flushed, vomiting, increased heart rate, hyperactivity or hallucinations. Players do not need to feel all of these symptoms but should be subject to at least two for the duration of his magic, but it is up to their discretion which symptoms they inherit as well as how severely they are affected by them. The target can leave the ring of flowers but will still feel the symptoms until the duration ends. He can use this magic three times and it lasts for 25 seconds.
Super Sailor Scout Attack: Arnica Blossom
Arnica waves his hand and a three foot ring of Mandragora flowers sprout around up to two targets within his line of vision. Anyone caught within this ring will immediately feel themselves falling subject to Mandragora poisoning, which can include blurred vision, dry mouth, dizziness, headache, nausea, feeling flushed, vomiting, increased heart rate, hyperactivity or hallucinations. Players do not need to feel all of these symptoms but should be subject to at least three for the duration of his magic, but it is up to their discretion which symptoms they inherit as well as how severely they are affected by them. The targets can leave the ring of flowers but will still feel the symptoms until the duration ends. He can use this magic two times and it lasts for 25 seconds.
Eternal Sailor Attack: Arnica Field
Arnica waves his hand and a field of Mandragora flowers sprout around him in a fifteen foot diameter, targeting everyone deemed an enemy within this radius. Anyone caught within this ring will immediately feel themselves falling subject to Mandragora poisoning, which can include blurred vision, dry mouth, dizziness, headache, nausea, feeling flushed, vomiting, increased heart rate, hyperactivity or hallucinations. Players do not need to feel all of these symptoms but should be subject to at least three for the duration of his magic, but it is up to their discretion which symptoms they inherit as well as how severely they are affected by them, however at this stage it is more potent than in his previous stages. The targets can leave the ring of flowers but will still feel the symptoms until the duration ends. He can use this magic once and it lasts for 45 seconds.
*Mandragora is a Genus of plant; Genuses are not typically allowed because they tend to encompass a wide variety of plants and it would unfairly cut off a lot of valid spheres by using something so large. I discussed this with two mod staffs, both last year and this year, to ask if it could be used as a valid sphere using the following facts:
Mandragora, while being a genus, only has 3-5 plants in it, most of which are distinguishable from each other strictly because of where they grow on earth; there are links to all of them in the wikipedia linked out, but the four that are officially listed are Mandragora autumnalis, (mandrake or autumn mandrake), Mandragora caulescens, (Himalayan mandrake), Mandragora officinarum, (mandrake or Mediterranean mandrake), Mandragora turcomanica, (Turkmenian mandrake). Because the differences between these plants is strictly based on the region on earth, individual mandragora plant species would not be valid. While I could choose 'Mandrake', which is a common name that typically applies to these plants, I did not want to take that name specifically because there is a mythological creature that bares the same name; I am focusing specifically on the plant and the toxins within it and didn't want to take the Mandrake name because I feel like someone else could make a completely different quest with it; if someone does decide to quest Mandrake, provided it is more based on the fictional creature, I am totally fine with this!
