Herbalists excel in the identification and use of a plethora of plant life in order to create cures to different illnesses and diseases. Of course, knowing how such plants work on living creatures and the different effects of them, some Herbalists can use them to cause harm as well. The true testament of a great Herbalist is knowing when and where to ply their trade and how to identify the best ingredients to create tinctures and poisons.
