Alchemy Ingredients
From Obscura
These are the alchemy ingredients that can be bought from the Task Force stores, and what their known partials are.
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.
- Creation: EFFECT: Vitality
- Destruction: WOUND ingested 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 even a general healing potion when fused with Halite.
- Chaos: EFFECT: Inspiration
- 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.
- Order: EFFECT: Ambition
- 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.
- Creation: CURE while dying
Red Phosphorus
Unstable red powder explosive, to be handled carefully. A simple blade oil can be prepared from red phosphorus, aggravating any damage caused with the weapon.
- Destruction: DOUBLE weapon oil
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.
- Chaos: EFFECT: Restlessness
- Destruction: TRIPLE weapon oil
