Poisons

• Peach-pit
• Forkroot: Forkroot tea induces sleep and inhibits channellers from channelling. Forkroot affects channellers much more strongly than those who cannot channel and for that reason the Seanchan use it to detect and capture channelling men and women. In light doses forkroot can render a channeller unable to channel to their full potential or stop them channelling altogether.
