Duwyv
Magical, Originates in Litharia
-These are trees that look like humans and may speak out loud.
-Any type of tree can become a Duwyv although the occurrence is always very rare. There are grades of Duwyv as well (based on the color of the sap) and each seem to have a different effect on humanoids.
-Grade A (white sap): This wood can bind a shifter to one form (human or true) although to seems to have severe side effects on that Shifter’s mental health; usually agitation, aggression, bloodlust, short-term memory loss, and intense pains. Prolonged exposure worsens the effect. Grade A does not affect any other species.
-Grade B (gold sap): Wood becomes a repellant for Shadows as the Duwyv seems to have become something opposite to them. It will grow very hot if a Shadow is in the area and that Shadow will feel sick until they are a safe distance away. Grade B also weakens the magic of any Daemons in the area.
-Grade C (red sap): Anyone (humanoid or beast) touching Grade C will become completely mindless and will obey any command. Usually, Grade C would be made into a collar or bracelet of some sort and forced around a person to make them a ‘Doll’. In this state, they have no free will. When it is removed that person will have no memory beyond when they first came into contact with the Grade C.
-Grade D (black sap): At this grade, Duwyv will make it so a person touching it will no longer feel pain. Make no mistake, that person will still become injured but will be able fight tirelessly until their body literally falls apart.
-Duwyv grades can be mixed and it is extremely difficult to find a Duwyv that is solidly one grade.
-This wood does not rot and cannot be destroyed. The wood may be ripped, cut, or burnt but it will remain whole and unblemished. The only way to destroy Duwyv is to cancel out it’s magic with an outside blast of magic and render it to whatever its original state was.
-While touching Duwyv wood, the humanoid affected by it will not age. (i.e. If a 300 year old shifter touches Grade A for 100 years, they will still be 300 years old when it is removed, where as a human touching Grade A would age at the normal rate.)
