Tier 2 Alchemy abilities weren’t crazy expensive, at least not when compared with the higher end of the ability pool. At 500 points each, I could purchase Apprentice and Nourishing, opening up not only second level potion making, but also the third tier of alchemy. With a shrug, I paid the 1,000, fondly remembering the days when a decision like that would take me hours to commit to.
At once, the potion tab of the Hunter’s Sight informed me of an entirely new list of potions I could create. I took a look before I invested any more points into alchemy, to see if Level 2 had anything worthwhile.
Level Two Potions
Advanced Accelerated Healing:
Cost: 50 Firnin, 50 Estoan
Duration: An hour
Effects: Grants a year’s worth of physical recovery within an hour.
Side Effects: While the potion heals, you are unconscious.
Spell Surge:
Cost: 50 Estoan
Duration: Instant
Effects: Restores mana immediately.
Ironskin:
Cost: 100 Firnin
Duration: 2 hours
Effects: Transforms your skin into iron, granting you high resistance to slashing and stab attacks. Attacks that manage to bypass your defenses will be reduced to a fourth of their damage.
Side Effects: When potion ends, you become disabled for ten minutes.
Sense Invisibility:
Cost: 100 Estoan
Duration: 8 hours
Effects: When consuming, focus on a single sense (sight, hearing, scent or supernatural). You become effectively invisible to that sense group. You cannot be detected by that sense group by any normal means until the duration ends.
Side Effects: Mild hallucinations occur when under the influence of this potion. Whichever sense you have become invisible to you will manifest in strange and misleading ways.
Extended Minor Stat Enhancement:
Cost: 100 Firnin, 100 Estoan
Duration: 1 week
Effects: Grants +2 to a state of your choice for 1 week. Multiple uses will not stack.
Side Effects: This concoction has a slight intoxicating effect when it peaks at multiple points during the digestion process. Expect random bouts of sickness, mood swings and lack of coordination lasting for no more than 10 to 15 minutes at a time.
Ability Purge:
Cost: 1 Kaos
Duration: Instant
Effects: Consuming this potion allows you to immediately purge X number of abilities from your body. These abilities are removed instantly and are no longer available to you. You receive a full refund in Bloodpoints equal to the total value of the abilities purged. You may not purchase these abilities again, however, and they still count for the advancement down your skill trees.
Side Effects: You must be properly hydrated, or this process will kill you.
Elemental Immunity:
Cost: 100 Firnin
Duration: 8 hours
Effects: You may select one element. For the duration of the potion’s effects, you are immune to the harmful effects of selected element. Note: you are not immune to damage from elemental attacks. A fire arrow will still deal arrow damage and a frost boulder will still deal impact damage. However, the elemental effect deals no additional damage.
Side Effects: You become vulnerable to the opposite of the chosen element for the same duration.
Walking Sleep:
Cost: 100 Estoan
Duration: Instant
Effects: Consuming this potion grants you the full effects of a full eight hours of sleep. Anything that would have occurred during your sleep state such as healing, regenerating mana or durations of potions ending, occur as if eight hours had actually passed.
Side Effects: Sustained use of Walking Sleep builds up nightmare toxicity. When you experience real sleep next, you will experience disturbing dreams for a number of days equal to your toxicity.
Not bad! A lot of situational potions, but frankly, many of these situations came up more than once in a hunt. Being able to press on without sleep was useful, as was the better Accelerated Healing. Ironskin and Sense Invisibility were also
