Agrimony: not actually the name of a Greek philosopher, Agrimony spends its time as the unsung hero of magical defense. If you’re out there trying to reverse curses or block negativity, Agrimony’s your ride-or-die.

Smells kinda grassy, like a meadow on a breezy day, if that meadow were secretly plotting to be the ultimate buzz kill.
