Hangover

Recording of Selen Ard'Ragorn's lecture in Bar'Glingal: 'It is said that this saying originated in the taverns of the West Streets, but it could just as easily have come from any other disreputable quarter.
Its most important ingredient is a barrel of the worst wine; the cheaper and more unhealthy, the more potent the essence.'
The art of distilling this wine into its pure essence, far more demanding than an alchemist's simple recipe mixing, and of binding and preserving it in such a way that it doesn't immediately evaporate as is its nature—yes, this is something only a master of Cerddor can accomplish.
Now you possess a small vial containing a ruby-red shimmer—well, not liquid, but not quite mist either—let's just call it an elixir.
But this is not the real challenge; since its effect dissipates quickly, it must be slipped unnoticed into the victim's drink within a few days.
You masters of deception and seduction, here is your chance to truly demonstrate your art.
But beware, do not recklessly taste the elixir yourself, for whoever has tasted it will never be able to give up wine, and will surely drink for a full week.
However, the true danger inherent in the elixir is not the temptation to drink, but rather that the drunkenness will be followed as surely as day follows night by a truly terrible headache.
And he will almost certainly have forgotten some of his best abilities for a few days, even up to two weeks, of study.
One more word of warning: This is very time-consuming, and if you wish to cast other spells in the same week, they will be more difficult for you.

Miriams flinke Finger

The famous bard Miriam bhean'Meddaf was known for her extraordinary skill with the harp.

"In Weilersweide, near the Wythar harbor, there is a small inn that is rarely visited. It is not known to anyone that until a few years ago this farm was the home of the banished itinerant preacher Grauwolf. After recruiting almost the entire peasantry in one of his infamous fiery speeches, he was convicted of sedition and banished. He was only hesitantly willing to teach me the secret of his persuasiveness."
