Appearance
A poppet is a vaguely humanoid doll made from simple cloth stuffed with herbs and containing varied roots, herbs and other mystical ingredients: they are rather unintimidating in appearance unless one is aware of the mystical significance. Yet, it is also said poppets can maybe fashioned from such others materials as a carved root, grain or corn shafts, a fruit, paper, wax, a potato, clay, or branches.

Abilities
Poppets can bestow fertility and good fortune if used by neutral or benevolent mystics, but when used by evil-minded mystics, they become lethal tools of vengeance, much like a voodoo doll it is believed any damage done to a poppet will cause equal (or sometimes worse) harm to whoever the mystic wishes said curse upon.
