Changes

Fitz uses elfbark to make a strong, black, bitter tea that helps him to dull his [[Skill-hunger]] as well as help the [[Skill-headaches]] that he has after [[Skilling]]. [[Kettle]] was was horrified when she found out Fitz was using it, for it is said to extinguish the ability to Skill in the yound young and cripple its growth for older [[Skill-users]]. Fitz' s experience is that it can deaden the ability to Skill, but it doesn't kill the craving for that connection. In [[Chalced]] it it is used to drug the slaves, for it increases stamina but dulls the mind, so that the slaves don't try to escape. The low mood and morose spirit it gives is very familiar indeed to Fitz. It is said that the use of it can become a habit, but Fitz reflects that perhaps that only happens when the use of it is forced regularly.
