Osssra

Osssra were oils mainly used by Yuan-ti for a plethora of different practical and recreational purposes. There are several kinds of Osssra with different scents and effects.

Usage
Osssra were burned in pots or braziers and were inhaled as an ember-colored smoke. Yuan-ti would use them while laying in recreational basking chambers.

Properties
Its uses were varied and many, however, only the Yuan-ti tended to use them, as they were poisonous to humans and could enfeeble the mind, cause unconsciousness or be outright fatal. Properties of Osssra included:


 * clearing the mind
 * healing the body
 * purging enchantments
 * stimulating dreams and memories (smells of mint, burning moss and sap)

Using Osssra to induce dreaming was used for recreational purposes and was believed to bestow prophetic dreams and help in divining the location of desired people and objects.
