Throwing Abjurer's Nightshade into Campfires

[LoveLess]

So having magic eaters spawn is always a fear for everyone. Would it be possible to make the effect extend to a small area for a limited time so that familiars cannot attract them? Or add some kind of "branch" version as to not use the already existing item and doubles as a bundle of Abjurer's?

Seriously just disable familiars triggering magic eaters.

I like the idea of this more for the general practicality than the specific use here.  It would be great if using a nightshade in a campfire made a cloud that protected everyone much like the OP suggests.  While I actually enjoy the need for little things like bedrolls, fires, food, nightshade...  I don't think it's really a big deal to make a 'camp preparation scenario' easier for everyone.
