The player may use the astral tadpole immediately, however other characters will have to be [[Persuasion|Persuaded]] ([[Minthara]] will want to use the tadpole, but she must be spoken to for the option to become available). A character can then choose to open their mind to the tadpole (or eat it) to undergo partial-ceremorphosis. Note that if any character chooses to eat the tadpole, others will not be able to use it.
