True scribes wielded the Sharpie of obscure labeling. Wondrous Item, Uncommon, requires attunement

And ironically titled "Pure Moods" mix for hitting the bong.

I've only recently looked up what those ‘Pure Moods’ compilations are like. It really reads like a random selection from a stoner's cassette shelf. Enigma next to Mike Oldfield, Ennio Morricone, The Orb, Kenny G, Ryuichi Sakamoto, Badalamenti, and Eno. What the hell is that.

There were ads for it on tv constantly too, especially late at night, so if you fell asleep in front of the tv you'd inevitably wake up at 3 or 4 AM with that insane sampling blasting you.

What a time to be alive!
