Being the various potions that may be brewed by an Alchemist, and the skills and materials needed to create each.

General Functioning of the Skill

In order to make potions, an alchemist requires a mortar and pestle as basic equipment. Given reagents and bottles, the alchemist can make simple potions, Lesser Heal, Lesser Cure, Lesser Refresh, and Illumination by doubleclicking on the mortar to access the menu.

In order to make more potent potions, the alchemist needs to use an alchemist table, found in alchemy shops or in private homes. The mortar and pestle is still required but the options are accessed by using the alchemist table.

Fireworks, fuses, and dyes may also be manufactured. See below for details.

Chart of General Potions Types and Effects

Potion Category		Effect	Description
Illumination		Allows the drinker to see in the dark.	A trickle of energy from sulphurous ash is bound by the spider silk to the drinker, allowing vision in the dark.
Invisibility		Renders the drinker invisible for a time.	The hallucinogenic properties of nightshade coupled with the ability of bloodmoss to aid movement magics divert light around the drinker, rendering him invisible.
Protection		Renders the flesh of the drinker resistant to damage.	Garlics warding properties are increased and given force by the energy of sulphurous ash, protecting the imbiber.
Sleep		Gives a good night's rest to the drinker.	Nightshade separates the spirit from the body, but spider silk binds them together, preventing death. The result is a deep sleep.
Poison		A poison that can be applied to a weapon or food.	Poisonous Nightshade is the basis of most poisons, though the deadliest are said to also incorporate the Executioner's Hood mushroom.
Healing		Heals the drinker.	Ginseng serves to promote healing, while spidersilk binds wounds together in this healing potion.
Refreshment		Refreshes the drinker, removing fatigue.	Black Pearl provides energy to the drinker, but is prevented from doing damage by the healing properties of Ginseng.
Cure		Cures poison in the drinker.	The healing properties of ginseng combine with the warding properties of garlic serve to negate poison.
Hallucination		A poison to be used on food only.	The hallucinogenic properties of Nightshade are powered by Mandrake and carried through the body of the victim by the movement properties of Blood Moss. The potion is used on food, which is then to be eaten by the victim.
Hallucination Poison		A poison to be used on food only.	The hallucinogenic properties of Nightshade are powered by Mandrake and carried through the body of the victim by the movement properties of Blood Moss. The potion is used on food, which is then to be eaten by the victim. This potion is strong and can cause true poisoning as well as hallucination.
Explosion		A delayed blast detonation.	The volcanic force of energy from the sulphurous ash is forced outwards in an explosive blast by the black pearl.
Magical Protection		Causes the next offensive spell cast on the drinker to bounce onto the caster.	The protective properties of garlic against magic are bound to the drinker by the spider silk. Mandrake powers the whole to reflect spells.
Dispulsion		The imbiber of this potion is freed of the effects of most spells, beneficial or baneful.	Sulphurous Ash and Mandrake together provide a burst of energy that is focused by the Garlic to disrupt magic affecting the drinker.
Free Action		When drunken in advance, this potion gives protection against the effects of paralysis and related spells.	Bloodmoss enhances movement, while garlic wards against outside interferance, allowing movement. Mandrake gives the other reagents the power needed to resist a paralysis spell.

The Alchemy of Covetous

Before the current madness struck the mages currently working in the lower levels of the Dungeon Covetous, they made considerable progress in studying the unusual metallic substances found in the lower levels of the mine. Some of the results of that work may still be obtained therein at some risk to the searcher. The currently known details of such may be found here.
