Potions
Found in general stores and clinics all throughout Taeva, potions have become a staple item of adventurers and the common folk alike. Originally finding their beginning as medical remedies brewed by local alchemists, improvements in brewing techniques have not only increased the number of applications for these potions, but also improved the efficiency of creating them, thus making them much more widespread. With the increased demand created by mercenaries, adventurers, and common folk, being an alchemist soon became a rather lucrative occupation, with potion making soon becoming one of the most thriving industries of the modern world. Whatever your ailment may be, you can be sure that there's a potion for it.
Mechanics & Inner Workings
While the specific effects and ingredients vary, potions are made with naturally occurring ingredients (such as herbs) to enhance certain natural abilities of the users body, such as healing and eyesight. Some of the more premium potions make use of more esoteric, magically infused ingredients to achieve effects that would normally require the use of spells to achieve, and thus require greater effort to create.
Manufacturing process
Ingredients are first ground up into a paste in the mortar, then cook over an open fire to liquefy the paste.
