The Starleaf Herb is a unique and mystical plant found in secluded groves or hidden celestial gardens. Its leaves possess an otherworldly quality, shimmering with a soft iridescent glow that resembles distant stars in the night sky. When touched, the leaves emit a faint, soothing hum. The Starleaf Herb is a rare find, typically located in sacred groves or celestial realms. It is guarded by mystical guardians, nature spirits, or celestial beings. Obtaining the herb often requires a quest or journey to a hidden location known only to a select few. Those who seek the Starleaf Herb are usually adventurers, seekers of enlightenment, or individuals who desire protection against illusionary magic.
The Starleaf Herb is delicate and must be handled with care to preserve its magical properties. It is commonly harvested by experienced herbalists or those with a deep understanding of celestial flora. Once collected, the leaves are carefully dried and stored in protective containers to maintain their shimmering quality and potency. When brewing the tea, the leaves are steeped in hot water and infused for a specific duration to extract their enchanting essence. When brewed into a tea, the Starleaf Herb provides temporary protection against illusion magic and enhances the imbiber's senses, allowing them to perceive the world with heightened clarity.
