Apothecary

Apothecaries are a support-oriented might class. They use a unique resource, herbs, for most of their skills. Herbs are obtained through plant work, so your apothecaries should be field workers.

Their skills can tend wounds, fight diseases and permanent injuries, and, uniquely, massively increase mana regeneration, making them invaluable to support mages.

### Elixir

Herbal elixirs are created through a mixture of potent herbs, herbal extracts, and other organic matter. The potency of the herbal elixir comes from the immediate reaction of ingredients when they are combined. The chemical reaction has a short half-life, which make it impractical and uneconomical for mass production and distribution. When immediately consumed, the elixir's potent health benefits are powerful enough to bring a pawn back from the brink of death. The elixir's effects last for nearly a day.

* Potency (3): Increases the duration of Elixir's potent stage by 2.4hrs.
* Ingredient Efficiency (3): Reduces ingredients to produce an Elixir by 8% per skill level.

### Fire Suppression Flask

### Clarity

Administers a concoction that helps the consumer open themselves to the arcane. Mana regeneration is increased up to 300% and psychic sensitivity is increased up to 50%. Effects decrease mental stability. Clarity last several days but lose potency over time. Use of this drug can be risky, even fatal to a mage, when combined with a mana drain event - use with caution.

### Bliss

Administers one of the most hazardous drugs known in the region, possibly second only to luciferum. Bliss puts the user into a state of bliss, able to mask nearly all emotions and pain. A creative mixture of local plant extract and ingredients can be used to create this drug. True to the saying "ignorance is bliss", this drug will cause the user to slowly lose their learned skills and skill gain while under the influence of this drug is heavily suppressed.
