Anti-Jiāngshī Chocolate Mochi
Valentine's Day chocolate from Wu Zetian (Caster).
Glutinous rice is said to have evil-warding properties and these handy cakes' cost-performance ratio is second to none; throw them at a jiangshi zombie to deal damage, force-feed one to explode it from the inside out, or apply as a poultice to a bite victim's wounds to absorb the venom.
It's important to be environmentally conscious these days, however, so Wu Zetian makes sure to clean up after herself. Whether it's Hassan picking up his dirks or the Torturers cleaning up the sticky rice, all are exemplars of Chaldea's culture of thriftiness.
"So it's not like I gave you these for any particular reason... I'm just all about 'reduce, reuse, recycle!'"
It's unclear how exactly one is supposed to recycle sticky rice, but the cakes' delectable flavor and texture are beyond question.
All that's left is to pray that you don't become a jiangshi yourself.
