* Invoked in ''Literature/BlueCore''. The Anell house takes advantage of Void user's proclivity to addictive behavior, due to the inherent quirks of their affinity, to get their Ell sub-branch assassins strung out on drugs. In fact, the first of the Ells Shayma manages to wrest free of their evil grip is a man strung out on an extremely dangerous herb known as Heartroot, and can only think of where he's going to get his next fix. His handler ''actually hides'' the herb in question and then gives it back to him as "reward" for carrying out assassinations. Guiles is so addled, he has to be given the herb so he's clear-headed enough to ''attempt escaping capture'' when Nivir's royal guard, tipped off about an attempt on the entire royal family, comes at him.
