== Toxicity ==
Dried blackbane leaves are poisonous.
▲Dried blackbane leaves are poisonous. Ingesting them causes paralysis which in turn keeps the victim from being able to breathe. The dried leaves are said to become more potent the longer they are aged.{{book ref|sa2|48}} Victims of blackbane poisining have visibly darkened skin afterwards.{{book ref|sa3.5|10}} Blackbane is difficult to make.
