Today I snapped at a good friend of mine in the Elfsong. I'm embarrassed about it now. Not then. This prickly mood had come over me, because for the first time in ages I was thinking hard about my condition.


Ideas for elixirs came to me. It would have to be a very powerful elixir, since they usually only last until the drinker sleeps. Potions are much more limited in their application, not lasting as long. Though you can combine potions for simultaneous effects, whereas the digestive system can only handle one elixir at a time.
