  • Effects; The stems can be manipulated and easily tied around a stick or rush to create a sort of splint for a wolf with a broken limb.

• Broom;

  • Location and Description; Tall, bush like shrubbery, with tiny leaves and yellow flowers. They grow in groves with large sun in the forests.

  • Effects; While it doesn’t heal anything, it is used as a base to create poultices for splints and wounds.

• Cobwebs;
