one of four anesthetic mixtures and thev are saffron, bushgrass
and the dregs of the wine. Add a small amount to
any food or drink.
Then they add four other mixtures to the first four
mixtures and it becomes eight and that intoxicates and
anesthetizes any person till they loose their minds and
they forget where they are. The other four ingredients are
wild opium, mandrake seed, wild lettuce seeds and
anesthetic seeds. Ibn Wahshija has said in his book that
you need to keep this mixture a secret so your enemies do
not know about because the effect of it is so harmful and
fatal.
Ibn Wahshija also mentioned that rice has a significant
characteristic for magicians as they take a handful and
throw it in a basin that has snakes in it and that makes the
snakes stand on their tails and dance in that basin. This is
what the magicians; tricksters and the eye magicians (The
magicians that their hands are faster than their eves) use to
trick people. The rice plant's other feature is that the green
plant would burn under the sunlight through a
magnifying glass like the Sun bums thin cloth through the
magnifying glass.
Leguminous also has significant features if you mix it
with rye and soak it in wine vinegar for one day and night
and then throw them where the crows and ravens can eat

roove and will not resist if they get picked up by hand.
Also if any one has leprosy started in their body can take a
hand full of leguminous and face the Sun at it is rising in
the morning and say "Aye glorious and great god, here I
throw the leguminous behind my back to cure me of this
leprosy and take it away from my body, from my chest
