====== Fornaxian Spore Cap ======

Fornaxian Spore Cap is a fungus originating from the fungal cave ecosystem of [[system:Fornax#Fornax XII]], the homeworld of the [[Free Union#Yelk]]. Within the hard chitinous exterior of the mushroom is a dense parcel of spores, which have a profoundly energising effect on musculature.

====== OOC Game Information ======

Fornaxian Spore Cap is a type of [[Exotic Biotics|Exotic Biotic]] - an [[Exotic Substances|Exotic Substance]] related to [[Life Science]]. A physrep of a jar of dried mushroom or other solid substance like a hard-shelled nut can be used to represent a few measures of this substance, but particularly large physreps can hold more.

When applied to a character, a measure of Fornaxian Spore Cap grants a short burst of increased strength, and allows them to use a single special call with a Melee Weapon.
  * When using a small weapon, then may call [[calls_effects#STRIKE]]
  * When using a Medium Weapon they may call [[calls_effects#STRIKEDOWN]]
  * When using a Large Weapon they may call [[calls_effects#SUNDER]]
Once the call has been used, the effects of this Exotic Biotic fade.

As with all [[Exotic Substances]], a character with at least 1 rank in the relevant speciality ([[professional skills#Life Science]] in this case) can spend 1 minute of appropriate roleplaying to apply 1 measure of Fornaxian Spore Cap to a character. After this roleplaying, they should unpeel the sticker that represents this substance, stick it to target's character sheet and record the current date on it.

The boost provided by this substance wears off when it is used, or at time-in the following day.
