Wax Tree - Plants of Hot Springs Island
Wax Trees have
large, fuzzy, almost white leaves that grow in bunches at the ends of twisted,
dark brown, woody branches that are 1-3 inches thick. While most commonly
growing to a height of 2-3 feet, some Wax Trees have been known to grow as
large as 8 feet tall. A shallow and spreading root system robs nearby plants of
food and moisture causing these trees to be found with few neighbors, even in
areas of otherwise dense vegetation. The branches, if broken, ooze a
translucent purple, viscous fluid that smells vaguely of citrus. The wax burns
cleanly and evenly making it a good alternative to beeswax, and alchemists
often seek it out as a foundation for magical glues and thickeners.
Exceptionally skilled alchemists are able to use this wax to create a putty
that can *permanently* change the shape and structure of facial features. The
would-be master of disguise should be cautious however as minor, even
accidental, tweaks to this formula will create a putty that causes organic
matter (like faces) to dissolve and melt away in a matter of seconds.
