Final Fantasy Dimensions[edit | edit source]

Final Fantasy Brave Exvius[edit | edit source]
A curious herb that can restore a person's voice, to the point of making one want to shout at the top of one's lungs. With chanting an essential part of spell-casting, losing the ability to speak can subdue even the most potent of magics. As such, the wises mages make sure to carry an ample supply of this herb, with many going so far as to grow them in their private gardens.
