Volant - Alchemy

Volant - Kingdoms of Air and Stone

Volant has only one type of magic. As humanity's magic has been burned out, the only thing left is the magic inherent in nature. Exploiting this is the art known as Alchemy.

Alchemy

Alchemy is the creation of potions through the use of naturally magical ingredients. Alchemy goes through a series of steps, each step lasting an entire day and requiring a skill check with at least one success per step number to produce the final product - i.e. a success at step two requires two successes on the skill check. The potion can be used at the completion of any step, but the effect varies with the step.

Step 1 - Distillation

This step purifies and intensifies the magic in the ingredient. The potion used at this stage must be drunk within a day or it loses potency. This potion is known as a "distilled potion".

Step 2 - Stabilization

This step stabilizes the magical effect and makes it last longer before it needs to be used. The potion at this stage must be used within one month or it loses potency. This potion is known as a "Stable Potion"

Step 3 - Combination

This step allows the safe combination of two distilled, stabilized - i.e. Step 2 - potions to create a third, which combines the effects of both. The potion at this stage must be used within one month or it loses potency. The effect of the potion is some kind of combination of the two ingredients, but the exact effect is up to the Alchemist, and requiring GM approval. "This potion is known as a "combined potion".

Step 4 - Enhancement

This step boosts the efficacy of the potion, doubling its effect. The potion at this stage must be used within one month or it loses potency. This potion is known as an "enhanced potion"

Step 5 - Sealing

This step completely negates the effect of time on the potion, so long as the container is not opened. If the container is ever opened, the potion at this stage must be used within one month or it loses potency. This potion is known as a "sealed potion".
