Posts from Alchemy

Previously, creating various magical potions was a truly widespread pastime, but now the situation has changed. A common hero, that is, someone who knows nothing about alchemy, can only create the first three simplest potions. To create more or less complex potions, you need to seriously study the new Alchemy skill. The more complex the potion, the more seriously you need to study alchemy.
At the same time, black potions become a luxury, available only to very wealthy customers or druids, the only class capable of reaching the Grandmaster level in alchemy.
Moreover, the skill affects the strength of the potion – its duration or the magnitude of the effect of the potion. That is, a healing potion with a strength of 15 will heal more hit points of the hero than a potion with a lower strength. The same can be said about the duration of the potion's effect. The stronger, the longer.
Special gray potions have appeared. They are known as catalysts and are used exclusively to increase the strength of a particular potion. You take a catalyst and click on any potion. The strength of the potion becomes the same as the strength of the catalyst. But there is a catch: if you apply a catalyst with a strength of 1 to a potion with a strength of 20, the potion will acquire... a strength of 1!
By the way, the necessary empty and already filled vials can be found in various chests or boxes and are freely sold in alchemical shops. The necessary plants for experiments are also purchased there; they are also scattered throughout any region. Usually, a walk along the riverbank, where various herbs grow, will be enough to create a couple of black potions. Herbs are reagents, that is, items that, when used on an empty bottle, create the simplest potion: blue, yellow, or red. And from these three potions, you can create any concoctions, even black potions! By the way, a blue potion restores mana, a red one restores hit points, and a yellow one cures fatigue.
There are reagents of various strengths: from the Phirna Root to the strongest Dragon Eye. The more powerful the reagent used in the preparation of potions, the greater its strength. Then, additional points are added to the strength of the potion based on the character's skill in alchemy.

Since different Russian versions have different translations, I will provide the names of all reagents and potions in English.
