I’ve never actually gone to the abyss, but I did once brew a tincture from a little deep‑sea algae that my mentor found on a tide‑pool trip. The thing was a tiny, grayish‑white sheet that seemed to glow in the dark. I recorded every step in my journal—how I dried it, how long I steeped it, the color change—and I did notice my own arm feel less sore after a day or two of sipping it. I’m still very cautious, though. I’d love to try *Maritimus pallidus* if you have a sample, but I’ll need to test it on a small patch of skin first, and keep a detailed log of the dosage and reaction. How did you get the log?
