The Swamp Tide Spider was a very unusual magical insect. Though it had only just reached Level Two itself, it was a magical insect countless wizards flocked to.

Wizards who controlled insects favored the Swamp Tide Spider because of its venom. It was extraordinarily adhesive and even carried traits of nothingness, making it exceptionally difficult to cure.

Other wizards favored the Swamp Tide Spider purely because of its symbiotic magical plant: the Bewitching Vine.

The Bewitching Vine was beloved by wizards not because it was a magical plant, but because its sap could be used directly as a Shulomon inducer, and at quite a high concentration.

There were three exceptionally natural Shulomon inducers in the Wizarding World: Mana Algae Powder, Black Charm Tea, and Bewitching Vine sap.

Because of their natural properties, these three Shulomon inducers had comparatively fewer side effects than artificially refined fragrances or other Shulomon potions.

Thus, the Bewitching Vine was highly favored by wizards.

However, the Bewitching Vine was far rarer than Mana Algae Powder and Black Charm Tea. Its defining trait was obvious: find a Swamp Tide Spider, and one would certainly find a Bewitching Vine.
