{"<font face="Verdana" color=black><H3>Introduction</H3>The modern day boasts incredible access to medicine, with the science of chemistry being thoroughly studied and understood. Yet there are many worlds one might consider primitive at a glance which may have more brilliance to them than what they offer at face values. The humble alchemist is the precursor to modern day chemists, but sadly their traditions are all but forgotten. My homeworld of Peran was a world where magic and technology were one in the same, and alchemy was one of the most accessible forms of that magic. For the modern scientist with modern perspective, I will elaborate in this tome how to create potions, what their uses are, and what chemical compounds they truly produce.</font>"},
{"<font face="Verdana" color=black><H3>The Alchemist&#39;s Alembic</H3>The alembic is a simple to operate but vital tool for any aspiring alchemist. You will mix two materials, and only ever two, into the main chamber of your alembic which shall be positioned over a reliable heat source. One primary ingredient, which will be one of many materials with alchemical properties. The other will be your potion base, which is essential to properly break down and transmute the ingredient into the potion you desire. Once you have added the two, heat the contents, and collect the distillate in a bottle. In this book I will save you the trouble of experimentation so you may avoid wasting your precious ingredients.</font>"},
{"<font face="Verdana" color=black><H3>Potion Bases</H3>Before you can do anything with your alembic, you will first require a base to work with. I will be covering three of the most widely applicable potion bases, as they are most likely what you shall work with.<ul><li><B>Alkahest</B> is a potent solvent and particularly useful for dissolving metals.<li><B>Aqua Regia</B> is a heavily corrosive mixture of acid that will easily dissolve most organic materials.<li><B>Ichor</B> is a rich, ferrous fluid that binds well to minerals, and as such it is often used to break down gemstones.As long as you have a generous supply of these three items, you will have access to a variety of useful potions.</ul></font>"},
{"<font face="Verdana" color=black><H3>Antidote Potion</H3><B>Ingredients:</B> Frozen Dew, Ichor</B><BR><BR>A small green bottle containing some green liquid that is sure to cure most forms of poisoning. A very straight forward recipe that is as ubiquitous as the common healing potion, yet is often done wrong by inexperienced alchemists. The leaf upon which the dew rests is a very particular kind of herb that has a bitter flavor when consumed. Intuitively you may believe that aqua regia is the correct catalyst for something organic. However, we don&#39;t actually want to dissolve the leaf itself. We instead care about the crystalized dew that rests on the leaf, and for that, we need ichor. Place the frozen dew into the alembic and then pour in your ichor. Heat the contents until the crystalized dew melts, which won&#39;t take long. Filter out the leaf and discard it. The resulting potion is dylovene, which is colloquially known as anti-toxin. Don&#39;t be afraid of overdosing your patients on this medicine, because despite the unpleasant flavor, it&#39;s as harmless as water.</font>"},

{"<font face="Verdana" color=black><H3>Blinding Speed Potion</H3><B>Ingredients:</B> Ancient Egg, Aqua Regia<BR><BR>A small green bottle containing some bubbling orange liquid that claims to make you move at incredible speeds. Producing an ancient egg will first require you to mix tea, ginger, orange peels, pepper corns, quicklime, phoron salt, and soda ash into a fine mud-like paste. Cover a duck egg in this paste, cover the mud in rice hulls, and bury the egg in dirt from the base of an olive tree. Leave the egg buried in this dirt for at least six months before harvesting. Once harvested, remove the shell, dice into an alembic, and boil over aqua regia. Beware the aroma, which can be intense. Aqua regia will change the molecular structure of the egg and phoron, resulting in hyperzine which can sharply increase a person&#39;s blood flow while reducing muscle fatigue. However, this potion is known to mildly poison the blood stream. Recommend mixing 1:1 with an antidote potion to protect from the toxic side effects, and to only drink as bursts of energy are needed.</font>"},
{"<font face="Verdana" color=black><H3>Diminution Potion</H3><B>Ingredients:</B> Salt Mage, Alkahest<BR><BR>A small green bottle containing some swirling cyan liquid that claims to reduce the drinkers stature. This is a curious one that I don&#39;t fully understand myself. The creation of the salt mage is a mystery to me, but however the process is done, the active ingredient is formed within the salt crystals, which can then be extracted by soaking in alkahest. Distill the resulting liquid for a few precious drops of microcillin. Or alternatively, save yourself the trouble of finding a salt mage and merely grind down some shrink mushrooms instead.</font>"},
{"<font face="Verdana" color=black><H3>Faerie Dance Potion</H3><B>Ingredients:</B> Fairy House, Ichor<BR><BR>A small green bottle containing some swishing pink liquid that claims to help you open your mind. First you will need a fairy house, which can be difficult to come by, but as I understand they are found in the form of moderately large mushrooms with a speckled red cap and a tiny door on the front, often at the center of a fairy circle. You must drown the fairy house with ichor inside an alembic, and heat until the structure collapses. Filter for a final product of psilocybin, which is a psycotropic derived from several types of mushrooms. This is but one method to obtain pure psycotropic, although other methods that involve separating the active ingredient will not require the use of your precious ichor. I recommend obtaining this potion instead by means more apothecary than alchemy.</font>"},
