The Daily Jinx
Irrespective of the number of days composing it, each Saturnine: this day only exists in certain Moons and ei-
week is also divided into auspicious and inauspicious
days, whose names are derived from ancient and forgotten
draconian divinities:
Lunatic: the day of madmen and of angry outbursts, not
recommended for starting new enterprises that are not crazy.
Whatever the number of days of the weeks considered by be-
lievers and non-believers, these always start with a Lunatic,
when nobody wants to go back to work or do anything at all.
Martial: a good day for weapons, sieges, boarding races, and
campaign scuffles. Some poets of the past used to write their
ironic and scathing verses only on this day, giving life to the
“Martial Epigrams” genre, still in use today.
Mercurial: a day dedicated to science, alembics, and cle-
verness, but also to transformism and changes. Those born
on Mercurial in the Moon of the Twinettes are often Gifted,
turncoats, frauds and side-changers.
Jovial: a day of eating and drinking binges, and pleasures
of the flesh, on which it is difficult to be sad. Jovial is the day
that everyone tries to bring into their calendars.
Venerable: a day dedicated to wisdom, to closing the week’s
business, and to the high philosophy of life. In Penumbria,
this is called Venereal, and is rightly dedicated to the pleasu-
res of the flesh and diseases of the same.

ght-day weeks, when astrological tables admit it for reasons
best known to themselves. A day of sadness and shadow, Sa-
turnine is suitable for dark conspiracies and witchcraft, as well
as for throbbing, percussive music. Alternatively, the sixth day
of the six- or seven-day week is the Sabbatic, when nothing
is done from morning to night, and witches gather around
walnut trees and crossroads.
Uranic and Plutonic are erratic and intercalary days, de-
dicated to the twin cities of Urania and Plutonia, and ap-
pear at random in certain months and years of connection
and adjustment.
In the long run, nobody ever remembers them… they
merely serve to fill in ten-day weeks for heretics who count
days thus.
But all almanacs agree on the last day of the week: Solarist.
Like Sabbatics, Solarists are for celebrating, but in a more in-
timate manner, almost each for themselves. It must be said
that Solarist did not exist in the Draconian Calendar: it was
invented by the Creed, elected as the holy day par excellence,
and dedicated to the Godhead, the one and only ruler of he-
aven and earth.

aring chefs, cooks, herbalists and miraculists, landlords of dives, inn-keepers and
publicans, with much imagination and empty larders: behold the page this dispatch
offers you, thanks to the collaboration of Sister Altomanna, celebrated pantry
angel of the Convent of Saint Polenta in Tingoli, to help you on a thousand occasions
from today to all eternity. Not potions and concoctions purchased by mail order, but
recipes, cooking secrets, and new ways of preparing and serving monsters, beasts and
other magical ingredients!

Working with herbs, knowing how to mix them, extract
tinctures, or add them to potions, tonics, spirits and cordials, is
no joke, and the difference between soup and potion, magic and
cooking ingredients, delicacy and portentous arcane discovery,
is merely a matter of dosage, components and processing.
Hence we begin this column with an exceptional recipe,
combining herbal medicine, alchemy and tavern-keeper skil-
ls: thanks to our “benefactor”, Blond Cordial – the tord-boyaux
sherry that makes damsels merry – we can now spread the recipe
of this outstanding, all-occasion tonic.
In water saturated with alchemical frisson, and once the
mixture is ready (for which 5 to 6 hours are required), dissolve
the sugar at cold temperature, add tincture, filtered through
paper, of the following ingredients: Brewbarb, 2 oz; dry Wol-
fsbane leaves, 3 oz; Snoozy Berries, 1 oz; Stitch Leaf, 1 oz;
Saint Curatorial berries, half an ounce; Groggy mushroom,
half an ounce.
Then add, to your taste, aromas of previously-distilled and
fermented Zagarian essences: the original Blond cordial
foresees lemon, limonastrium or beatricottum, while the
green, orange, red and brown variants are obtained from
essences of oranges, serinducts, scolas, and other citrus fruits.
Finally, project into each bottle or vial a formula of Light as
an activator, then swiftly cork, tie and wrap up.
The tonic thus obtained is crystal-clear, its flavor unrivaled
amongst magic potions and aperitifs, and in medication lore.
Thus prepared, it faithfully follows the recipe for the Blond
(though the latter contains many other herbs whose exact nature
is secret), and causes neither colic nor malaise: you may partake
of it before luncheon, brawl or combat, in glasses administered
with intervals of a quarter of an hour.

When you drink this Tonic, you regain 1d4 + 1 hit points and
reduce your exhaustion level by 1.
Additionally, you gain temporary inspiration that vanishes
10 minutes after using the Tonic, even if not expended.
The Biondino Tonic remains stable for a week; after that,
it loses all its beneficial effects, becoming a simple yet
delicious soft-drink.
Note: you can get all Biondino recipe ingredients at any
local apothecary or herbalist for half the sale price of the To-
nic. You must have Proficiency with the herbalism kit or with
the artisan’s tools (alchemist’s supplies or brewer’s supplies) to
prepare the Biondino Tonic with the ingredients.
