Katia's Addiction Treatment

Four-Drug Detox

A staged treatment using two market cures, two crafted antidotes, a blitz patch, and temporary stabilizers while Katia remains operationally active.

Story so far

Mordecai and Imani identify four dependencies. Two antidotes are readily available from the market, while Mordecai crafts the remaining two at the guild alchemy station.

Imani begins with the Travis Priest cure, producing severe rainbow-colored vomiting. The blitz cure is a skin patch applied next, followed by buffs intended to prevent Katia from losing consciousness during the operation even if they make her sick again.

Creamsicle Charm receives a precautionary antidote despite lower dependency. Glory Bound requires a modified dose and forced bad memory, but the main cure must wait. Mordecai provides a temporary method to suppress hallucinations through the phase-two key attempt.

Treatment can remove addiction but cannot cleanly reverse every stat change, forgotten spell, lost skill level, or permanent susceptibility to future addictive magic.

Appearance

Four antidotes arranged around a patient: vomiting cure, skin patch, crafted charm tonic, and ominous modified memory dose.

Role

The treatment keeps Katia alive and briefly functional but leaves lasting mechanical damage.

Relationships

Katia Grim — She receives the staged treatment.
Mordecai — He diagnoses, crafts, and plans the protocol.
Imani — She obtains and administers the cures.
Astrid Assassination Plan — Temporary stabilizers are chosen so Katia can still act.
