Alchemy is the art of distilling and capturing magical essence for use at a later time. This essence is stored as major and minor potions. Minor potions tend to produce weaker effects that a craftsman can harness from natural components. Major potions are minor potions that have been infused with magical essence to heighten the power and effect of the potion. When you learn a minor or major potion recipe, you also learn its major or minor counterpart.

When you make a Crafting skill check for Alchemy, you must subtract gold from your inventory representing the components necessary for crafting.

When you first learn to use the alchemist's supplies, choose three of the five starting potions, representing the crafting recipes you learned to develop as you practiced your skills to novice level. You will learn additional potions as you develop your techniques and hone your recipes. For a complete list of Alchemy Descriptions, reference this page.

To move to the next skill level, a character must at least create 1 item at their current level before they can be considered for advancement to the next level. Example a Novice Alchemist who is a level 12 warlock can't start casting Master level potions until they have made one potion from each Novice, Intermediate, and Advanced level potion table. They also need to have learned the potion recipe, found out in the world or from another Alchemist.

Potion Usage and Concentration

Potions are meant to be stored or shared for a time of need. Unless otherwise noted, potions require an action to use or activate. Unlike Spell Scrolls or calligraphy scripts, anyone can use potions. Potions do not require concentration nor verbal, somatic, or material components.
