Slipdust itself appears as a fine, silvery powder. Its effect is revealed when ingested. After an onset period of a minute or so, the consumer will become extremely open to suggestion. The consumer can be easily convinced in to performing a wide variety of actions they otherwise would not do. The victim will follow the advice or orders of a person who would otherwise be ignored or detested. This state of mind can last anywhere from a few minutes to at most four hours, depending on the amount taken, and the consumer's composition.
As its name implies, Slipdust is meant to be slipped into the food or drink of an unwitting individual. Even when expertly administered, it leaves behind a faint grainy texture and distinct flavor in any drink or food containing it. This grainy texture could tip off the consumer.
If a victim realizes he has been drugged, he may be able to protect himself by avoiding all suggestions until the effect wears off. His efforts, of course, will fail if the drug takes effect and he is ordered otherwise. Regardless of whether the victim realizes he's been affected, his memory of the entire experience will be foggy. It is unlikely he will remember any details of what occurred between when he was drugged, and when he recovered.
Controlling others against their will is an abhorrent act and a crime in Hyrule. Thus, Slipdust itself may be considered an illegal substance, and crafting it may be regarded as a crime.
A sufficiently skilled Botanist can create a supply of Slipdust with 3 Hyoi Seeds, and one instance of Craving Powder.
