Sketchy Stimulant Earth Misc. +50 Dex/Int (Stimulants help you think more quickly and enhance your reflexes). Reduces damage taken from Earth. MC: Compresses a skill: Stimulant Injection Stimulant Injection: Inflict -5 End Fragile permanently on yourself. +10.2 BtH for 5 turns. Like Lvl1000, I am using Shinyaro's skill for the calculation of Fragile's worth. Shinyaro's skill pays 25% damage (50% Melee) for a +0 roll to inflict -50 End for a turn. Since this is a neutral roll, this effect is worth 100% Melee (divide by 0.5). Since we assume a battle to be 10 turns, I divide this -50 End effect over 10 to get a permanent -5 End Fragile for 100% Melee. I used New Year's Surprise as a guide for the calculation of the BtH. Since we're effectively dealing +X/85 damage for a +X BtH boost, a 100% Melee boost would have X=85. To make the numbers nice, I made it last for 5 turns, so it's +17 BtH for 5 turns. Because this effect affects all 8 elements, I applied the *0.6 omni-elemental penalty to get 17*0.6=10.2 BtH. Description: We found this substance in a meteor crash site. It appears to a stimulant of some sorts. The label on it states that it contains caffeine, ephedrine, modafinil, and creatine. It also has the following warning: while these medications have been confirmed for use individually, studies have yet to show long-term effects when taken together, so please beware of any potential contraindications. While we do not know what these ingredients are exactly, you are the Chosen. Surely, you can handle whatever side effects there are, right? This is an item that's completely antithetical to my playstyle. I love my End, and my beloved Healing spells autohit. However, the idea of paying for an effect by inflicting a permanent downside on yourself was just too interesting to let pass. I originally thought Celerity would be a apt choice for a stimulant, but honestly, I have too many items that give Celerity already. BtH also works as a reasonable benefit of taking stimulants, and I envision this as something for the people who missed Helm of Frostval Past.
