Potion (Ingredients)

Potions are one of the forms of magic that Atheirdinians use.

## Potion Making

* Each potion is crafted by using a base and then adding different ingredients.
* To start with, the spellcaster will choose a base that corresponds with their potion intention. You can also mix multiple bases together. They’ll fill their container with the base liquid, and then add the ingredients after, stirring it in as they go.
* When adding ingredients, they’ll choose ones that go with their desired intent. Adding more of an ingredient will make that correspondence stronger, and adding less will make it weaker.
* There’s no limit to how many or how much you can add to a potion, so it’s up to the caster to choose their own personal recipe and amount.

## Bases

The base of a potion is the liquid that all the ingredients are added to. Each has different properties that can 'set the scene' for the rest of the spell to be cast from.

## Potion Making Guide/Rules

* Ingredients with negative associations can be used alongside a Saliva base to reduce/remove them. Example: Adding a Spiderhorn Snake’s Horn to a Saliva base is a basic potion to remove physical pain.
* Potions can be made alongside others. Example: if you wanted a potion to reduce sadness and promote happiness, you wouldn’t put them in the same potion, you’d make two separate ones one after the other - the first for banishing & removal of the sadness, then the second for promotion of happiness.
* Ingredients can have meanings & associations different to what is listed here, as long as it follows the same general theme. It’s up to the spellcaster to assign their ingredients to meanings.
* Potions can be used for anything, good or bad, as long as the caster is aware of the possible consequences of their actions and how that will affect themselves & others.
* Potions can be casted on other people, but it takes longer to take effect than potions done for yourself.
* Spells must be casted during dark periods (when the moon is out & the sky is dark). This is especially important for spells that you wish to have a positive outcome. Casting negative or baneful spells is okay to do during light periods. Potions can backfire if done during light periods.
* Potion containers can be in any form (cup, bucket, jar, etc), but it must be made out of pure glass or Faena Rock (from the Faena mountain range). Without these materials, it has an 85% chance of backfiring / not working. Negative or baneful spells are okay to do in another material without effect on the spell’s potency. These containers can be purchased from Godde Shops or sourced & created by the spellcaster themself.

## Example Potion

If I wanted to create a potion for mental strength, these are the ingredients that I would probably choose.

* **Base**: Water from a cold ocean for strength, mixed with a little bit of water from a lake for control & stability
* **Plants**: Cymatil Mushroom for relief (a mild amount), Balcinna Berry for grounding (a lot), Dogomaron Rotten Fruit for moving on from the past (a small amount), Emberessa Flesh for emotional healing (a moderate amount), Tree Vrea Skin for flourishing (a small amount)
* **Animal Products**: Rockle Fish Scale for stability (a lot), Lautepolas Skin for relaxation & happiness (a moderate amount), Telthar Feather for self-esteem (a small amount), Ice Crab Leg for mindfulness (a moderate amount)
* Add some extra Cymatiline after for overall strengthening.
