Description

<Laurith looks you over as if to size you up.>

So we've got this pollinated bloodspore flower and nobody to test its effects on. Say, would you perhaps be interested in rubbing this on your skin and letting me observe? What's the worst that could happen anyway?

Don't you worry, <name>! Just take this sample and rub it all over your face.

LOL, this was great! You "use" the item in your bag and all of a sudden you double over as if you are having a horrendous stomach problem and then you shrink really small. You stay that way for about 5 seconds and then the effect wears off, at which time you return to normal size while letting out a raunchy belch that would rival the one in "Revenge of the Nerds" I was that far away from ROFLMFAO

My Tauren Warrior, who has faced demonic lords, Illidan himself, Naga, giant cyclopes, survived countless rogue assaults, taken down frost mages, and even ventured into the deepest, darkest realms of Azeroth....

Owned by some pollen. Ouch.
