Potion of somnolence

A potion of somnolence was a potion that put the imbiber to sleep.

Description
The concentrated liquid that composed a potion of somnolence created a puff of white mist when the vial was uncorked. It strongly smelled and tasted like blackberries. Drinking the potion made one's mouth tingle as if biting into a mint leaf.

Powers
The potion of somnolence was an incredibly powerful and addictive substance. Just one sip of the highly diluted soporific liquid (one drop of the potion in a vial-full of drinking water) was enough to send the user to sleep in less time than it took to count down from ten. A typical dosage was just one mouthful and it was enough to last several hours.

History
Around 1396 DR, Japheth Donard used a dangerously concentrated potion of somnolence to create a sleeping-aid-like elixir to help Anusha Marhana, a young spell-scarred human noble, to access her unusual power of projecting a ghost-like astral form in times of danger. The ability was only triggered during sleep.
