Widgeium

Widgeium is a very commonly known poison used throughout Cogitatio. It was invented by Widget Waldorff, father of Mabel and Basil  Waldorff. It has many different uses in places like the hospital wing to the weaponry Cogitatio praises so much.

Medical Uses
In the hospital wing, Widgeium is not so common, but still very used. It has multiple purposes in this field, whether it is to put people down or to bring their temperature up from a dangerously low temperature. It is a replacement to the old remedy for these things, Morientum. They replaced Morientum due to a mix with another antidote, causing a very big population loss in Cogitatio.

The hospital wing does not only use Widgeium, but sees people everyday due to Widgeium infection. Few have lost their life due to Widgeium, due to not getting the serum cure within six hours of contact.

Weaponry
Though Widgeium can be a lifesaver, it can also be the thing that ends your life. Widgeium isn't used in many weapons -- the most famous being a poisonus tazer -- but if you slip up, you're sure to get that poisonus burn. There is only one known cure to Widgeium, and if you are to not get that serum on within six hours, you're gone.

Students in advanced placement weaponry are allowed to use Widgeium tazers on each other, and then cured right after. Only on one occasion has a student died of the poison and burn because of incorrect serum applying. Only the high up are allowed to arm weapons with the poison, and to use it only on dire situations strictly.

Symptoms
Symptoms of Widgeium deposit:
 * a burn with two pierces
 * dizziness
 * nausea

Cure
The only known and fully functional cure to Widgeium is the Widgeium serum, invented by Blythe Waldorff, wife to Widget. It is a creamy, transparent mixture much like vaseline, which soothes the burn -- though the burn shall stay there forever -- and withdrawls the poision.
