SPECIAL FEATURES
  • Enhances memory retention rates for up to 6 hours
  • Enhances the use of memory-affecting Force-powers (Memory Rub, Drain Knowledge, Memory Walk, Short/Long-term Memory Enhancement) for up to 6 hours
DESCRIPTION
The Utai Smart Pill allows an organic life form to enhance its memory retention rate, thanks to the base ingredient being mnemiotic drugs (Provigil 200mg being the base ingredient's commercial name as sold on Utapau), and a sentient's ability to use memory-affecting Force-powers (Memory Rub, Drain Knowledge, Memory Walk, Short/Long-term Memory Enhancement) for a 6 hour period with little side effects beyond those of repeated usage of the Force, by making the user's brain more attuned to the use of those powers, at the cost of increased consumption of Force-energy when those powers are actively used. Imbibing it too regularly, or in too high a dosage, however, can lead to an organic biological system to develop hallucinations, typically based on the content of what was absorbed/learned during the period for which the drug is in the user's body, until the concentration of the drug decreases to a safer level. Also the severity of the hallucinations depend on the degree of overdose, with the severity of the hallucinations scaling with the overdose level. On top of that, it is ineffective on inorganic species, alchemical effects or not. And finally, as with all things alchemical, the Utai Smart Pill comes with all the usual weaknesses of alchemy: Force-nullifiers, Force-presence, to name the main ones.

Strengths:
  • Enhances memory retention rates for up to 6 hours
  • Emhances the use of memory-affecting Force-powers for up to 6 hours (Memory Rub, Drain Knowledge, Memory Walk, Short/Long-term Memory Enhancement)
Weaknesses:
  • Overdose possible, creates hallucinations
  • Ineffective on inorganic species
  • Force-nullifiers: The presence of Force-nullifiers can render the Utai Smart Pill nothing more than an ordinary mnemiotic drug pill.
  • Presence: Force-imbuement presence means that unless you somehow hide it, Force-users can detect the pills.
  • Force-guzzling: With higher throughputs comes higher expenditures of Force-energy: it will effectively double Force-energy consumption when actively using memory-affecting Force-powers
 
Hello, I'll be judging your submission today. Interesting concept, only one thing I need clarification on.



Janick Beauchamp said:
typically based on the content of what was absorbed during the period for which the drug is in the user's body.
So from my understanding, if the user is draining information on say, starships, they could potentially hallucinate about starships? How bad are the hallucinations and do they last the duration of the drug life?

To boldly alchemize what no one alchemized before
[member="Adron Malvern"] I made edits to expand more on the hallucinations.
  • They typically last until the drug's concentration in the user's body decreases to a safer level, which may take up to six hours, but often doesn't take as long
  • For example, if the user is draining/learning information about starships, the user will likely hallucinate about starships
  • The severity of the hallucinations depend on the overdose level
