Potions

A catchall term for consumable substances, usually liquids, that have been imbued with magical properties through spellcasting, psionics, alchemy, herbalism, or other similar practices. It is often used to refer to such items that heal the consumer or restore their Mana. There are a truly massive range of Potions, with virtually any Spell or Power that can be directly applied to a person available, if not readily so.
Crafting Potions takes a modicum of skill; the more powerful the product, the more difficult it is to produce.
Potions are an especially important part of most Adventurers' equipment.
Many Potions can be boiled down to a paste or dry powder after their initial creation, allowing them to be refreshed at a later date by adding water or liquor. Most Potions can be made more potent by including alcohol in their initial creation, at the cost of making them mildly intoxicating. Honey is also often an amplifier, particularly for medicinal potions such as those of the Cure, Restoration, and Regeneration Spells.
Some individuals have been known to snort powdered Potions as a means of consuming them... particularly enhancement types such as Bull's Strength or Bear's Endurance. This can actually be harmful, but is said to often provide an intoxicating rush that many find enjoyable.
