Theriac
Theriac is an ancient composition esteemed efficacious against the effects of poison, a certain compound of sixty-four drugs, prepared, pulverized, and reduced by means of honey to an electuary.
When consumed theriac will immediately neutralize all poison effects (this does not undo any damage already caused), the poisoned condition, the diseased condition and/or the lycanthropy condition affecting the imbiber.
Detailed Information
Poison can refer to several things in the game each with slightly different rules for how they function. Collectively each of these things is a "poison effect".
Poison Attacks Are Not Spells
When the poison call is added to any attack even a spell effect such as pin that attack no longer counts as a spell. This means that immunities to spell or compulsion effects no longer apply. The attack is now a poison effect.
Curing Poison
Typically the poisoned condition is removed by the spell Purify Spirit or an item such as a Theriac or a Catholicon.
Curing Diseases
The diseased condition is challenging to remove, there are no spells that accomplish this goal. Instead alchemical items must be used such as a Theriac, a Catholicon or a Rejuvination Elixir.
