Itching Powder

Itching Powder
Form Powder
Call Poison Command Scratch
Onset Instantaneous
Duration 30 seconds
Ingredients 1 beth root, 1 black mushroom powder, 3 powder
Cost 5 work units
Key words Poisoner / Combat
Description This recipe produces a small pouch of powder, represented by a foam ball constructed to safe guidelines as a throwing weapon. To use it, the poisoner – who must have the Thrown Weapons skill – must successfully strike their target, calling Poison Command Scratch.

For thirty seconds thereafter, if they have not resisted the poison (see the Resist Poison skill), the victim must scratch themselves uncontrollably, as though affected by the spell Command with the order to “scratch.” As with any Command spell, the effect ends if the victim is attacked, although ideally they should continue to roleplay squirming uncomfortably, etc.
