Distillation

Distillation is an alchemical process that separates components or substances from a base. There are two types of distillation:
* Liquid distillation is the process of separating the components or substances from a liquid mixture by using selective boiling and condensation.
* Dry distillation is the heating of solid materials to produce gaseous products (which may condense into liquids or solids).
==Methods==
===Liquid Distillation===
In terms of alchemy, this is the art of placing a liquid into an alembic and watching as the enchantments on the alembic bestow certain properties onto the liquid as it distils into the second chamber. Some liquids can have side effects, causing a build up of noxious gases or sometimes and increase in pressure.
===Dry Distillation===
Much rarer than liquid distillation, this method attempts to extract magical liquids from solid objects. This is sometimes needed to extract bile, venoms, toxins and blood from creatures, as well as a necessary step when attempting to create a potion with a solid ingredient.
