Snowcap is a drug in Pillars of Eternity.

Description

Snowcap mushrooms are known to be dangerous, for improperly treated samples are akin to poison. Once properly prepared, however, they can propel individuals into a trance-like state in which, it is claimed, many have received visions and portents of significance. The mushrooms feature primarily in important glanfathan rituals, for their elders hold the secrets behind their safe use.

Trivia

• According to Zahua in Ixamitl, they are known as the "malcachoa" and are renowned among certain sects for their hallucinogenic properties.
• Prior to patch 3.0, Snowcap had the effects: "+10 Will -2 Perception for 600 sec" and the crash effects "-2 Might, -2 Intellect for 300 sec." This was changed to the current version when Fatigue was reworked.
