False Will-O

False Will-O
The False Will-O, or Geum Incarnata, is an uncommon flower that can be found in the Desert of the Dead and the Enchanted Jungle.

General Information
The False Will-O is a particularly large flower with a thin stem that stands about 4 to 8 inches above the ground. The False Will-O is a red, orange, and yellow flower that turns an ashy grey upon death, much like an unkindled fire.

Name Origin
False Will-O’s received their names from the myth of will-o’-the-wisps, or small spheres of light believed to be hovering over the ground or, more commonly, a marsh or swamp. Many would see these flowers at night, convinced that they had spotted something rather magical, only to discover that it was simply a flower, thus being dubbed the False Will-O.

Further Information
The False Will-O actually produces heat and light, and can be very dangerous. Many forest fires are caused by these mischievous flowers. While False Will-O’s are unable to directly set fire to anything, they do produce sparks, which can occasionally drift hazardously far from the source.

Consumption of the False Will-O is quite dangerous, but usually not immediately fatal. Rather than causing any instant side-effects, it simply reduces lung function, damages internal flesh due to its heat, and causes coughing and asthma attacks.
