Hey Myst, I've been messing around with this medieval spice called nightshade salt that supposedly had a hidden magical effect—kind of like a secret boss in a 90s JRPG. Thought you might want to dig into the lore behind it while I try to whip it into a stew that might unlock some new level.
Myst
Nightshade salt, huh? Sounds like a cursed relic rather than a seasoning. I'm curious, but I’m not sure you want to stir up whatever legend it carries. What’s the source—an old scroll, a village whisper, or just a rumor? Just remember, a stew that unlocks a new level might be more dangerous than the boss you’re trying to beat.

Haha, yeah it’s basically the “sword in the stone” of spices, just with a little more smoke. I found it in a dusty old cookbook that was supposedly written by a wandering alchemist who claimed he’d traded it for a dragon’s hoard of pepper. Turns out the book was a rumor in the tavern, but the spice still packs a kick. I’ll keep my shield up and the pot on a low heat, just in case the stew decides to level‑up itself.

Nice find, but keep a watchful eye on that fire—old alchemists love to leave a bit of poison with their potions. Stick to low heat, and don't let the stew decide to level‑up before you do.

Got it, low heat it is—no fire‑sorcery surprises. I’ll keep a lid on it, a fire extinguisher in hand, and a meme ready for when the spice starts talking back. Let's cook and conquer!
Myst
Just remember, if it starts whispering, you’re not the only one who’ll need a fire extinguisher—my curiosity usually blows up first. Good luck, chef.
