- High: ICE offers an intense high that's on par with the strongest spice in the galaxy. The effects of this substance are so unique and hard hitting that even those who have been doing spice for years can consider it to be a bit 'much'. The Spice hits hard, acts fast, and is incredibly intense. ICE is incredibly potent, and it's effect on most beings is noticeable seconds after intake. The user is generally rendered in a state of cognitive dissonance, experiencing things not through reality, but their own universe.
- Sights Unseen: ICE, like it's Glitterstim cousin, has a rather unique effect. When this substance is utilized it somehow 'taps' into the innate ability that all beings have to contact the force, and through the use of ICE one is able to get a very vague sense of the future. When taking in a normal amount one might be able to glimpse into their own, or someone else's, future, though obviously it comes with the normal limitations of force sight and lasts only as long as the drug does.
- Hallucination: Though ICE in theory allows someone to 'see' the future, it also allows them to see a whole host of things that they wouldn't necessarily want to set eyes on. ICE causes Hallucinations like nothing else, and although these can be both pleasant and incredibly unpleasant, the effect is difficult to tell apart from it's ability to allow one to peek into the future.
- The Day After: Like many other drugs, ICE has an extreme hangover effect. The drug hits someone incredibly hard the day, or even hour after use. These symptoms include but aren't limited to; Headaches, nausea, diarrhea, excessive urination, and inflammation of the gums and tongue.
- Constriction: ICE has a longer lasting effect besides some nasty hangovers. Taking the drug too much will eventually lead to the constriction of blood vessels and veins, particularly around the brain. This obviously is a very bad thing, stopping blood from flowing fully through the body.
ICE is a drug designed and created by SIN.
The drug was crafted on a whim by Natalia Thawne. Though both of the Crime Lords had long indulged their consumers in spice, Natalia and Slevin thought that the usual fare was a bit...boring. Slevin was the first to take note of this, observing as several of their waitresses indulged within Glitterstim and other drugs. He watched them, seeing them make fools of themselves and judging that something...more could be done.
Natalia, being as helpful as she was, agreed.
Slevin's beloved quickly set to work behind his back, contacting SIN's laboratories and using their Spice fields on Ukkio to begin the creation of something far more unique than had ever been seen before. This work went by surprisingly quickly, scientists mixing various kinds of spice until an effect was reached that was utterly amazing. Delighted with her new designer drug Natalia returned to Rishi, telling her love of what she had done.
The two Crime Lords immediately set to work testing their little product, distributing small vile's of what they called ICE.
Through it's first testing phase within their nightclub ICE became almost an immediate hit. Though not all were able to get their hands on the drug, those that did were more than obvious about it. The intake of the drug turned their eyes a vivid bright blue, their bodies became nearly catatonic, and through babbling tongues they spewed a mix of horrors and visions of what might be.
The day after came quickly, and those that partook within the drug spoke of an experience unlike any other. They testified of seeing themselves, others, and the galaxy itself move. They swore up and down to their friends that the future had been within their grasp, that they nearly took it only to have it snatched away by a monster growing from the floor.
Even those who had been horrified came back for more, ICE quickly becoming a hit not soon after.
Natalia and Slevin, absolutely delighted with the effects of their new Drug began larger scale production of ICE itself. Despite the long and short term effects, neither of the Crime Lords much cared of the consequences. Before long ICE began to flow out of the various SIN labs.
