Description: A purple-flowered member of the lily family. The flowers may be used as a protection against Vampires, but they are not nearly as effective as the plant's root which forms bud-like rhizomes that may be eaten or strung into garlands that offer the best protection against the attentions of such beings. See rule 142.2 for details. Sailors consider the eating or wearing of Garlic of use in preventing shipwrecks; but this is only a mere myth. The substance does have a slight repellent effect on Greater Undead other than Vampires, and no one wearing Garlic can ever be affected by the Evil Eye spell (S-9) of the College of Black Magics. Further, the resistance of the wearer versus all spells of the College of Black Magics is increased by 5.
