Some of the items in this topic are dangerous to the user. Such items may either have no full documentation of their full effects on the human body, or they may have obvious risk factors involved. Use common sense and decide for yourself if the benefits are worth the risks
This will be an irregularly updated topic containing items easily bought or made at home for various effects related to night ops, to include enhanced mental and physical performance, sense extension, wound management, and even offensive use out in the field. Check in for updates, I will bump the topic whenever a significant edit is made. This may be included in an updated N/O guide if desired.
WEAPONS
Substances that can create a multitude of effects on an attacker, these have been optimized for ease of access, employment, and high effectiveness allowing you to escape.
Metsubushi

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metsubushi
As a formula, I would use crushed, dried pepper seeds. Try ordering a scorpion variety, maybe ghost chili at a minimum, and using these. Remember, you'll be relying on these to save your ass! Don't skimp, and be careful preparing the seeds. Wear full protection including for your eyes, breathing, and skin. Once you have your chili powder, I would personally mix with ash, fine sand, and crushed fiberglass slivers. Two parts chili powder, two parts fiberglass, part ash and half part sand by volume, evenly mixed. If this gets in your attackers eyes, you will have ample time to escape and should effectively stop them from even being able to properly aim a firearm at you. It should also seriously irritate their mouth, throat, and lungs. It shouldn't actually kill them or come close to, though. Just give them a really, really shitty week.

Psychlonic's Internal Salve
This is a special recipe of mine that I make when I need to increase my recovery and healing rate. It works by absolutely annihilating intestinal flora (read further for more info), increasing cellular regeneration, reducing inflammation, and boosting energy through multiple means all the way down to the cellular level. What you need:
- Black Pepper
- Turmeric
- Ginger
- Garlic
- Cocoa Powder (cocoa solids only, no sugar or additives)
- Cinnamon
- Tri-Allantoin Salve (another apothecary recipe)
- One Ceramic Pot
- One Sieve
So what you do here is add two heaping tablespoons of tri-allantoin salve into the ceramic pot. Then you add a teaspoon of turmeric, a teaspoon of ginger, half a teaspoon of black pepper, a teaspoon of garlic, a teaspoon of cocoa, and then another teaspoon of cinnamon. Top off with another two heaping tablespoons of tri-allantoin. Set the pot on your range and set to the lowest temperature possible. The idea is to simply let the pot be warm. DO NOT simmer much less boil. Then, you simply let the pot sit for a couple of days while all of the active chemicals mingle around in the oil.
After this waiting period, strain the oil through the sieve into a small glass container with a wide mouth and refrigerate. What will result is a bright, almost luminescent green/yellow waxy substance. Dosage is one half-teaspoon in the morning and another in the evening.
How does this work? Tri-allantoin contains multiple forms of its namesake which is scientifically proven to speed cellular regeneration and thus healing. This extends to micro-tears in skeletal muscle and thus speeds your repairs. Turmeric, ginger, and cinnamon are all known and also proven anti-inflammatories, plus with garlic eliminate any bad bacteria in your digestive system which could slow down healing. Keep in mind this destroys probiotics too, so if you drink kefir or use probiotics in another form make sure to take the kefir half an hour AFTER this salve. Finally, garlic, turmeric, and cocoa give you energy.
Tri-Allantoin is mildly hepatoxic (bad for your liver) with about the same toxicity as a beer a day, so it's pretty safe but you don't want to live off of the stuff.
FIRST AID
Medicinal items to be taken in the event of traumatic injury. These can provide pain relief, stop bleeding, or hasten the healing process.
Tri-Allantoin Salve
A natural, fast acting and absorbing salve that staunches minor bleeding, removes minor toxins, is anti-bacterial, but most importantly it speeds healing at the cellular level. It can even speed the healing of broken bones! To use, simply smear on a damaged location and follow up with more applications as healing progresses. What you need:

- Coconut Oil
- Cayenne
- Vodka
- Ceramic Pot
- Sieve
So making this is pretty simple once you have everything you need. Macerate equal parts of the three plants and place in the ceramic pot. Next, cover with coconut oil and a splash of vodka. Add a teaspoon of cayenne, stir, then cover the pot and allow to sit in a warm location where the coconut oil will stay in liquid form for at least two weeks. A month is even better. After it's done, strain the liquid through a sieve into a container and allow to resolidify. Optionally, you can add beeswax if it's not solidifying, just add enough melted beeswax to stabilize it.
MISCELLANEOUS
Items that just don't fit cleanly into the other categories.
Tea of Dischordant Dreams
A night time tea that will cause you to quickly fall asleep and experience vivid dreams. What you need:
- Wormwood/Mugwort
- Catmint
- Red Reishi Powder
- Cinnamon
- Orange Essential Oil
You'll need to load a tea ball as full as possible with wormwood. Then, place the ball inside of your favorite tea serving pot and fill with hot water - preferably not quite boiling. Add catmint immediately afterward and allow to steep for a few minutes. After, remove the tea ball and catmint leaves if possible and add a heaping tablespoon of red reishi powder and a leveled teaspoon of cinnamon. Stir well. Finally, add TWO drops of orange essential oil and no more. No less. That's it. Enjoy a couple cups and have a good night. You think I'm playing, but I'm not.
