Hehe, OOC I hadn't noticed Lach hitting on Marie either. Had to edit my post cause we had the same idea.
I also forgot I was planning to post the recipe and effect of the potions Sam makes in OOC:
Name: Health Potion
Ingredients:Two parts raspberries, one part sugar, a few drops of wine, 3 drops of blood of the same species that it's meant to heal.
Effect type: Conjuration, Healing. 5 Charges. Area of Effect: Imbiber.
Effect: Rapidly heals the drinker of any wounds that could be healed trough time and care. Doesn't regrow limbs or organs lost but does repair damage. If used by the wrong species it will still work, but after frequent use there will be... side effects...
Tastes: sweet and sour. With a hint of an alcoholic aftertaste.
Name: Inspired salve
Ingredients:
- Angelica (a herb, symbolically associated with inspiration)
- multiple magical residues (easily harvested in an area crowded with wizards)
- a sense of marvel and inspiration (the sight of the unison raid spell evokes this in most magic enthusiasts)
Effect type: transmutation, compulsion, light, . 1 Charge. Area of Effect: object.
Effect: When applied to a tool, that tool bestows it's user with great skill and inspiration to use said tool for it's intended purpose. A brush would make anyone a masterful painter, a pickaxe would elevate mining and prospecting to an art-form. Naturally a spear grants impressive skill and creativity with it as a weapon.
I never defined durations for potions. I'd like to go with a rule of thumb: 1 scene. keeping track of minutes is tedious and frankly impossible in forum format, this is narratively easier. Agree?
