Description: Fire moss is a redish moss that grows in clumps about the size of a grown man's fist. Its name comes from both its color and the fact that it gives off a slight glow at night. Some legends suggest that the moss is planted in swamps by some mysterious creature in order to lure in prey at night. Whether the legends are true or not, many young herbalists have gone into a swamp after Fire Moss never to be seen again.
Fire moss is used in potions to speed up the reaction time of other ingredients. The moss itself has no alchemical effect on the finished potion, it just speeds up the time it takes for the other ingredients to fully react with each other.
