Haszak 
("Mind Flayer") 
  
 Number of Doses: 1
Type: Injected, Special
Onset: Instant
Damage/Result: As the 5th-level wizard spell feeblemind for 1d6 days,
save as
Frequency of Active Ingredient: Very Rare
Cost per Dose: 1,500 gp
This is not strictly speaking a poison, but a very potent alchemical
creation. Using a certain nerve cluster in the brain of an illithid,
the potion is magical in nature. It's cost reflects both the rarity of
its active ingredient and its unusually long duration. It is an
effective, if expensive, toxin to use against a spellcaster, as it acts 
in almost all respects as the *feeblemind* spell.
 
It does have an interesting variation, though: rather than reduce the 
victim to a state of retardation, it causes hallucinations and paranoid delusions for its entire duration, punctuated only by interludes of 
catatonia. This is a potion dearly loved by the sadistic drow.
