Alchemy Ingredients

From Obscura

Basic Ingredients

These are the alchemy ingredients that can be bought from the Task Force stores, and what their known partials are.

Basic ingredients can be bought from the task force stores for 1 Ducatto for 2 ingredients. Basic ingredients spoil quickly once taken out of stores, so they must be used within a short time.

Guarana Root Extract

This brown extract from a twisted gnarly root that grows even in inhospitable regions has long been used as a revitaliser when prepared in a tonic. In certain preparations it could also be used to prepare potent poison.

  1. Creation: EFFECT: Vitality
  2. Destruction: CRUSH poison

Amanita Extract

Extract from a spotted red mushroom that is quite toxic when ingested raw. Using proper alchemical preparation it can be turned into a substance that boosts lateral thinking, or a general healing potion when fused with Halite.

  1. Chaos: EFFECT: Inspiration
  2. Creation: CURE potion

Halite

Also known as crystals of common salt, it can be used to boost someone’s ambition or in a miraculous healing concoction when fused with amanita.

  1. Order: EFFECT: Ambition
  2. Creation: Ranged CURE

Purple

Another early success of alchemy, Purple is a substance of pure colour, too rare to be used as a dye on common basis. Produced by a complex method of leaching from strongly coloured berries, the residuum is pure white as all the colour was extracted. Usually carefully stored in liquid form in the dark. Main purpose is making simple salves that can be used to revive the fallen.

  1. Creation: CURE while dying
  2. Order: MASS EFFECT: Ambition

Red Phosphorus

Unstable red powder, to be handled carefully. A simple blade oil can be prepared from red phosphorus, aggravating any damage caused with the weapon.

  1. Destruction: DOUBLE weapon oil
  2. Chaos: MASS EFFECT: Curiosity

Taste of Success

One of the early successes of alchemy, this ephemeral ingredient usually manifests as a green liquid. Harvested organically from people who feel very successful using complex sympathetic alchemical procedures, the simple preparation induces feelings of restlessness and the desire to act in the subject. In more complex concoctions it can contribute to a damaging weapon oil.

  1. Chaos: EFFECT: Restlessness
  2. Destruction: TRIPLE weapon oil
