A Merrig-Rose

Merrig was small, very thorny wild rosebush native to semiarid to temperate shortgrass

prairies. Its leaves looked like those of other roses; its flowers had five red-veined and red-edged white petals and yellow centers. A tea brewed from merrig thorns contained a drug which could increase the user's Presence for one day, so it was particularly prized by Mentalism spell-users. Unfortunately, merrig tea was highly addictive, and withdrawal caused the loss of Constitution, Reasoning and Memory; these losses healed naturally after several months.
