Researching poisons will allow you to carefully apply them to certain types
of weapons.  Creating poisons is done by GATHERING herbs and then
POISONCRAFTING them into poisons.

Once coated, a weapon has a chance of poisoning a target each round of combat.
During combat the poison will eventually wear off regardless if it actually
poisons your foe.  The poison on the weapon is permanent until used, or you rent
out or die. Also, there is a chance that you will poison yourself with this
skill. 

Poisoned foes have a much lower regeneration rate than normal.
Power level of the poison: <poison power>*5 + <level>/10 + rank*5
Power level of the poison on the foe: 1 + a number between power*6 and power*8.
To see the impact use IDENTIFY or DPOISON on your foe.

Usage: envenom <weapon> <poison>
