Somnium
Type: Drug/Painkiller
The woman is distraught and wailing, from both the physical and emotional trauma she has just experienced. Evangeline says soothing words and tips the vial to the woman's lips, a silvery fluid inside. The woman's eyes go glassy almost immediately, her breathing slows, and she looks at them with a calm, detached expression.
Public Knowledge: Widely used both as a medical substance, and a recreational drug.
Description: This refined compound is based off of Eorzea's second most prevalent drug, somnus (The first being alcohol). While Somnus is lightly treated, and its potency can vary greatly, Somnium is a refined mixture, faster acting and far more powerful. Capable of being injected or ingested, the silvery fluid is a powerful painkiller, relaxant, and depressant, which is also highly addictive. The effects depend on the dosage.
- Small doses : Pleasant euphoria, freedom from worry, warm numb sensations
- Moderate doses : Absence of pain and anxiety, slurred speech and slowed motor response.
-High Doses : Dreamy, sleeplike state which is difficult to wake from.
-Overdoses: Body shut down and death due to lack of breathing.
Where to find it?: Drugdealers, smugglers, and surgeons. Somnium is a more glamorous version of the common drug, and can be found by criminals and healers alike.
