Synth
Item from Crescent City by Sarah J. Maas
A synthetic drug that temporarily supercharges Vanir power to lethal levels — the street-level symptom of a much darker experiment into what the Asteri want from their subjects.
Also known as: Synth, The Drug
What They Know
- Synth is engineered, not natural — it was designed to test the upper limits of Vanir firstlight output
- The fatal crash occurs because the drug forces the body to generate firstlight faster than it can sustain — the user literally burns out
- Danika traced synth's origins to Asteri-funded laboratories operating through cutouts and intermediaries
- A modified version of synth was used in the kristallos demon — the demon's power comes from the same amplification principle
