'''Sage's Grass''', also called '''Sage Grass''', is a famous magical plant and an integral component in many magical recipes. It is sought after by [Mages], [Alchemists], [Witches], [Tattooists] and generally any class that worked with magic.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2020/02/16/7-07/ Chapter 7.07]</ref>

== Biology and Cultivation ==
It grows in clumps in some meadows and forest clearings. It's long leaves are red and green.<ref name="6.36E"/><ref name="6.39">[https://wanderinginn.com/2019/08/20/6-39/ Chapter 6.39]</ref>

Sage's Grass needs fertile lands to grow, but also ambient magic. It feeds on that [[Mana]] of its surroundings, which is then stored and amplified inside the plant.<ref name="6.36E"/> The older the Sage's Grass, the more magical it is; some ancient Sage's Grass will have more magic than a year-old stalk.<ref name=":0">[https://wanderinginn.com/2023/07/16/9-54-c/ Chapter 9.54 C]</ref>

While it is not the ''most'' magical stuff, large concentrations of Sage's Grass attract monsters, and it turns animals that feed on it into more monstrous versions. Thus, inattentive Farmers of Sage's Grass need to watch out for dangers: normal rats can turn into [[Magical Rats|monstrous rats]] and then turn into a plague that also infests other crops.<ref name="6.36E">[https://wanderinginn.com/2019/08/10/6-36-e/ Chapter 6.36 E]</ref> Some farmers use nullifiers so animals can't detect it.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2022/08/27/9-11-w/ Chapter 9.11 W]</ref>

It grows abundantly in the [[Floodplains]].<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2019/07/13/6-30/ Chapter 6.30]</ref> Other areas rich in Sage's Grass are the Himalt Swampland near [[Reizmelt]], and [[Celum]] where [[Wailant Strongheart|Wailant]] grows it.<ref name="6.36E"/> But the grass also grows in small amounts at various places near Riverfarm.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2019/08/27/6-41-e/ Chapter 6.41 E]</ref>

== History ==
Sage's Grass was created and bred, according to [[Octavia]]'s knowledge, more than 5000 years ago by a [Sage] (hence the name), and obliterated the need to kill Unicorns or other magical creatures for their magical properties. It was, as one of the rarest magical components, traded for gemstones in these ancient times.<ref name="6.39"/>

The [Sage] [[Velzimri]] created it by combining basic herbology with magical powers worthy of an [Archmage]. He held a monopoly on his creation, which attracted the unwanted attention of monsters and treasure seekers. He was ultimately murdered by an assassin in his hidden home, dispatched to end his monopoly.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2021/05/11/8-22-he/ Chapter 8.22 HE]</ref>

A long time ago, the ancient [Stitch Witch] [[Belavierr]] traded a perfect Cloth-Warrior to a [Sheik] for three seeds of the Grass, then hoarded that grass for its power.<ref name="6.45E" />

In contemporary times, collecting and selling wild Sage Grass pays in coppers per pound at the Celum Adventurer's Guild.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2019/05/21/6-18-h/ Chapter 6.18 H]</ref>

== Usage ==
* ''Sage’s Grass Water'', which is produced by keeping Sage's Grass in a nutrient solution, can be used as a booster component in [[Potions|potion making]], especially [[Healing|healing]] potions.<ref name="6.39"/><ref name="6.45E">[https://wanderinginn.com/2019/09/17/6-45-e/ Chapter 6.45 E]</ref> The glow it gives off is indicative of its magical strength.<ref name=":0" />
* [[Wiskeria]] used some handfuls of Sage's Grass for her magical soup intended to strengthen and mend the community of Riverfarm.<ref name="6.36E"/>
* As food to make Sage’s Grass Chiffon cake.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2022/01/16/8-62-k/ Chapter 8.62 K]</ref> Unknown if it has any effects, if at all, on the one who eat it.
*Sage’s Tea.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2022/03/15/8-72/ Chapter 8.72]</ref> Effects Unknown.
