Continued on the Path Wolfsbane Potion is a potion that relieves the symptoms of lycanthropy, allowing the afflicted to turn into a normal wolf and retain control over their actions.
Lycanthropy is when someone turns into a werewolf every full moon. A werewolf is distinguished from a normal wolf by the pupils, shape of the muzzle, and tufted tail. Werewolves have no control over their actions while in wolf form and, since lycanthropy is highly contagious (via the bite) and werewolves are very dangerous and can injure or kill humans and animals, those with this disease are typically shunned by society and unable to live normal lives. Wolfsbane potion at least gives the comfort, as long as they remember to take it, that they will not escape their holdings and injure or kill anyone during the full moon.
