Alchemy is part skill and part magic. Anyone pursuing the trade will require the ?? skill as well as the spells from this group.
Identify
Spell to identify if something has useable magical alchemical components.
Extract
Skill roll to extract the required essential parts from the source.
Preserve
Spell to preserve raw alchemical products (body parts etc), so they do not go off and lose their powers.
Reduce
Lab skill to reduce the raw materials down to the essential ingredients required.
Create
Spell to create the primary product from the reduced extract. The primary product is not in a useable form and requires the Form spell to convert it into its final state.
Form
Spell to create the final product into its final form: potion, pill, salve or gas.
Activate/Hibernate
Spell to switch an alchemical product from active (ready to use) to Hibernate (de-activated and safe), and vice-versa. A hibernated item is inert and will have no effect if exposed or broken or taken. You can activate a product so it returns to a ready to use state.
