Name: Etherbane

Quick Facts: Siphons upon contact, dangerous to mages and wisps alike

Height: Less than 1 inch

Width: Less than 1 inch

Length: Less than 1 inch

Poison: Lackluster

Native to: Ivorian

Locations: Swamps and caverns

Appearance: Etherbane appears in clusters that some could easily mistaken for eggs when looked upon, as they're almost small pebble like orbs with a soft glow. Appearing mildly transparent when you look into them, the lichen's faint blue glow is both alluring and somber to behold.

Habitat: Mainly along walls and crevices of damp places such as caverns, but they'll also grow along tree trunks among the wilderness as well; however only in conditions where the lighting is incredibly poor.

Lifespan and Development: Etherbane is a lichen that manifests where as little lighting as possible occurs, and feeds of nutrients of minerals found in rocks or wood. Though it's impossible to tell where on Ivorian this lichen has manifested from, it's clear that slowly over the years it's begun to spread through other parts of the island.

Uses: Scholars have found it difficult to study as contact/prolonged exposure affects both mind and body. Overall they've discovered the lichen possesses a 'siphoning' quality quite unnatural, as the lichen saps energy from every source that comes close to it's presence. Granting it the name "Etherbane" as mages will find that the plant drains Ether rather quickly, posing a dangerous risk of Overstepping if prolonged exposure occurs.

Abilities: So far the only known properties this lichen possesses is the "Siphoning" aspect, which drains Ether from anything it touches and Ectoplasm from ghosts.
