Whimsical

Whimsical is a popular recreational drug in Castrella. The compound is illegal and use, sale, and purchase of it is punishable by law. The drug is said to "provide the visual wonders and feelings of whimsy corruption without actually corrupting" the user. The actual effects vary entity to entity.

Chemical Makeup

The actual ingredients of the compounds are currently unknown. The drug is typically in powdered form, but can easily be manipulated into other forms. It is common to be made into hard candy or liquid form. There are zero traces of any whimsy aether present in the drug.

Effects

For most entities, whimsical acts as a moderate to severe hallucinogenic with varying degrees of euphoria. Senses become confused and twisted, and the user sees things that do not exist.

The substance is mildly addictive and comes with harsh but short lasting withdrawal symptoms. Headache, fatigue, soreness, technicolor vomiting, upset stomach, and lingering hallucinations are common side effects. Further research is required.

When a being aspected to whimsy takes the drug, it has zero effect. Additionally, whimsy aspects that have tried it say it tastes like water or flour depending on the form.

Severe Cases

In the worst known cases, users have been known to see a being that describes itself as the "True Whimsical." In their severely hallucinated state, they wander to corrupted borders and attempt to enter restricted areas because they were "challenged by the True Whimsical." In these cases, the users have, unfortunately, had varying degrees of success. After enough cases of whimsy corruption emerged due to whimsical use, the drug was quickly marked illegal.

Alternative Names

Whimsical goes by many names colloquially. Due to the innate silliness of the drug, people tend to create new names often as a form of humor. The most common name for the drug depends on the region where whimsical is the official name recognized by the government and law enforcement.
