My spells would have taken care of the normal poisonousness of mushrooms (the purification ones)...

But in the spirit of insanity:
/me dies
/me rises as a ghost to haunt the channel for some time.

Purification would make it pure and harmless for me to ingest.

Hmmm...
1) Disease resistance != poison resistance.
2) Purification -> pure, poison mushroom
Of course, the mushroom wasn't poisoned, itself... it was just poisonous to others. One creature's poison may be another creature's life-sustaining chemical.
And it dosen't seem right for purification spells to harm things.

But if it's pure poison...

didn't think of that angle.

Fyron · #**118** September 18th, 2003, 07:02 AM

Pure poison, dilute poison, whatever. Makes no difference at all to the purification spell. It makes it pure FOR ME to ingest. Anything harmful TO ME is nullified. That is the entire point of such a spell.

fun with words.

*Nitpick* What happens if you failed to cast the spell? Perhaps you believed the mushroom was harmless, but as your spell didn't work as expected, it was still harmfull. And what if a Minor Glyph of Anti-Purification was casted upon the mushroom, meaning it would dispel such spells? And finally, are you sure you pronounced the spell correctly? To poison and to purificate (that is, removing a poison) are effects quite similar, the second one is simply involving a negation.
