Magnum Opus

"Magnum Opus (James Amaral) expands alchemy to make it something interesting for player characters to do. There are four influences, based on the mediæval humours but not opposed to each other, each with a potential range of -2 to +2 (the author suggests that this should produce 608 combinations rather than 625, for no obvious reason). Multiple ingredients can be stacked together, but the ones that only give +1 or -1 to a single value are hard work to produce. Then they can be combined to reach the appropriate position in the coordinate space to produce a particular alchemical effect. There's less to this than I'd hoped for, but it certainly has potential not just as something for PCs but as a generator of odd clues for investigators."
