Created by an Artisan who wished to aid his Fae-blooded daughter in gaining status in the Guild (the reason for this sudden busrt of kindness is unknown, and best not asked about), this simple spell was used to great effect, aiding the Changeling greatly in her bid for power in the whirlwind that is Nexus.

Using the item is quite simple: when liquid is consumed from the goblet (any liquid will do), the imbiber sacrifices some of himself to power the Essence wine that appears in a glass bottle nearby. Each dot of Virtue drained creates a glass worth of the wine, and each bottle can hold five glasses worth. As per Heart-Stealing Kiss, this spell could not be used on any mortal whose Willpower+Essence was greater than the owner's Willpower; also, the stolen Virtue dots return one per day.

If the Cup of the goblet's owner is greater than the imbiber's Temperance+Essence the imbiber had a chance of becoming addicted to the drink of stolen dreams as per Shiftless Untamed Beauty. For each glass that is consumed, the drinker must succeed at a difficulty 2 Willpower+Temperance roll; the difficulty increases by one for each glass consumed in the same scene.

If Sweet Wyld Elixer is used, the victim must immediately roll Resistance + Essence against a difficulty equal to the raksha's Essence once the wine is imbibed; this only effects those whose Temperance+Essence is greater than the caster's Cup. Failure means that the toxin begins to take effect, filling the victim's senses with delightful little tingles and flooding their minds with calm and relaxation. This effect lasts a number of days equal to (10 - victim's Stamina), and leaves them with a 3-die penalty to all violent or overtly physical activities. Once the high fades, the victim must make a Willpower check (difficulty equal to the Essence of the raksha who 'poisoned' them) in order to shake off the addiction. Failure means that the victim will most likely seek out the raksha they met before, although any raksha that can readminister the Elixir will do. As a final effect, addiction to the drug actualy erodes at the victim's ability to discern glamour from reality, and their final Attribute + Ability amount needed to resist any given glamour is reduced by 2.

The bottles of wine are permanent creations, as per Ordinary Object Conjuration.
