Reaper's Shadow
Activate ◆◆ (manipulate)
Derived from duskwood sap tapped during the winter solstice, this toxin erodes the connection between body and soul, tricking the latter into assuming the former has already died. Survivors of this near-death experience report ominous tunnel vision, as if the Grim Reaper lurks in their peripheral vision and awaits their final breath.

Traits
Alchemical items are powered by reactions of alchemical reagents. Unless otherwise noted, alchemical items aren't magical and don't radiate a magical aura. Alchemical creatures are partially powered by alchemical reactions.
An item with this trait can be used only once. Unless stated otherwise, it's destroyed after activation. Consumable items include alchemical items and magical consumables such as scrolls and talismans. When a character creates consumable items, they can make them in batches of four.
An injury poison is activated by applying it to a weapon or ammunition, and it affects the target of the first Strike made using the poisoned item. If that Strike is a success and deals piercing or slashing damage, the target must attempt a saving throw against the poison. On a failed Strike, the target is unaffected, but the poison remains on the weapon and you can try again. On a critical failure, or if the Strike fails to deal slashing or piercing damage for some other reason, the poison is spent but the target is unaffected.
An effect with this trait delivers a poison or deals poison damage. An item with this trait is poisonous and might cause an affliction.
Afflictions with the virulent trait are harder to remove. You must succeed at two consecutive saves to reduce a virulent affliction's stage by 1. A critical success reduces a virulent affliction's stage by only 1 instead of by 2.
Effects with this trait heal undead creatures with void energy, deal void damage to living creatures, or manipulate void energy.
