Text Cut: Book excerpt
Once planted, quasi-sentient vines with mesmerising flowers appear in the surrounding area, leeching life from all other plant life and becoming more aggressive as more time passes.

Only when the Pharaoh's Triumph reaches full maturity does it shed its disguise, at which point it releases the full force of its curse and can no longer be approached by a living being. Shrouding itself in a poisonous, magic-dissolving fog which spreads through the land, the plant itself can continue to thrive on the life force drained from all around it. Only one method of ending the destruction is known: the Pharaoh's Triumph must be burnt and itself destroyed, ideally before the fog can appear.


Ha! quasi-sentient! Violet knew it! Also the fact that it gave power to whoever planted it--it was a plot for sure, she didn't care how much the others twitted her about conspiracies. And....but wait...that part about the fog! Violet's heart sank--she had seen just such a fog out by the greenhouses the other day...

"But it's already started to put out a fog! Over by the greenhouses--I saw it just recently, it was leaking out from under the charmed barriers Professor Flamsteed had set up. It smelled awful--like something corrosive."
