Flora - Magical

Echo Moss is a magical moss that captures and replays sounds, used in acoustic magic and communication systems.

Physical Characteristics

Echo Moss forms soft, velvety mats in caves and ruins. It glows faintly when exposed to sound and can store echoes for days or weeks.

Primary Uses

Used in acoustic magic, communication systems, and as a reagent in sound-based spells. Its ability to store and replay sound makes it valuable for magical surveillance and memory preservation.

Hazards and Toxicity

DANGER LEVEL: MODERATE

Overexposure to stored echoes can cause auditory hallucinations. Spores may induce temporary deafness. Magical resonance can amplify dangerous sounds.

Seasonal Risks

Spring: Maximum echo storage
Summer: Peak glow and resonance
Autumn: Dormancy, but echoes persist
Winter: Risk of echo overload

Safe Handling Protocols

Use ear protection and sound-dampening spells. Avoid exposure to loud noises. Monitor for auditory side effects and use silence wards if needed.
