Families
The magical spices and herbs are all grouped into different families and not all of them have made an appearance on the show. Each family affects a different property for which the recipe is used for; for example, the spice called Carnejian affects emotions. Each spice will affect the consumer in a slightly different way depending on the amount added and what else it's added with. The following is a table of the basic families that the Protectors commonly cook with and what they affect.
