Francis Bacon's Pipe

Origin
Francis Bacon was a philosopher, statesman and scientist who advocated the use of the scientific method. He argued scientific knowledge should be based solely on observations and reasoning instead of superstition. Skepticism should be key to properly analyzing and proving or debunking a theory. Bacon’s specifics on scientific data collection quickly died out, but the overall idea of a rational approach helped provide a major framework for proceeding scientists. He was knighted and highly valued by King James I as a Lord Chancellor. Bacon reportedly died from pneumonia when he conducted an experiment on food preservation, stuffing a bird full with snow and eating it.

Effects
The user becomes an effective scientist in both theoretical and practical applications. They notice patterns faster, can perform calculations with extreme accuracy and are able to accept new evidence, even if contradictory to their theory. They will have something similar to an allergic reaction when they eat meat. Their skin will slightly swell and puff up and those areas will start to experience pneumonia until it worsens and they contact a lethal case of frostbite.
