Blindsnake Pouch

A good-luck charm fashioned by the Ratskin tribes of the Necromundan Underhive, the Blindsnake Pouch has been purported to possess many fantastical properties.[1]


Assembly

The Ratskins capture the poisonous albino blindsnake, and then milk its venom. This they mix with a collection of miscellaneous fungi, which is placed into a small leather pouch, tied with a strap to be worn around the neck.[1]

Function

The Ratskins who peddle these pouches in the marketplaces of the Underhive settlements claim that the spirit of the blindsnake watches out for bad spirits and guides the wearer in the dark. What is known to actually happen is that the mixture in the pouch leaches out and is absorbed through the wearer's skin. By some still unknown process, the mixture enhances the psychic sensitivity of the individual, granting them a rudimentary sixth sense.[1]
