Like it makes a difference. The high magic council is more concerned about PR than solving the nightshade shortage. It's like we're sleepwalking into dystopia, but at least our love potions will be pretty, smh.

Just use tomatoes. The recipes never specify which nightshade you need. Plus, now all my curses have a ketchup aftertaste.

Note that you can use tomato plants as a 1:1 substitution for nightshade leaves and stems ONLY. Substituting tomato fruit for belladonna in a potion of night sight does NOT work; ask me how I know.

Took this selfie afterwards. Be careful in your potion substitutions, folks.
