Obtainables Glossary & Potion Brewing

QUICK NAV: LOGS ⚔️️ NETWORK ⚔️️ MEMES ⚔️️ OOC ⚔️️ NAVIGATION

⦿ Obtainables Glossary
This page is a glossary to keep track of any items, potions, recipes, and totems introduced in game and where to find them. Note that players can obtain regular items like clothes, dishes, tools, foods, etc. on their own from stores without mod permission. This is just for magical or special obtainables.

⦿ Potion Brewing
Characters can create their own potions if they are of the alchemist class or after obtaining 10 potions from events, quests, or rewards if your character has IC intent to learn the brewing craft. While they can experiment before obtaining 10, it will end in failure or disaster, so feel free to play with that as you please. After obtaining 10 potions in-game, if you would like to create a potion, reply to this post to have a mod review and either accept or deny the creation of the potion. As a general guideline, potions:

should not overlap with currently available magics in-game

can only have one effect

cannot have game-breaking effects

have an effective and reasonable time limit

Otherwise, have fun with it. To create a potion, reply to this post with the following form and a mod will get back to you as soon as possible:

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

Potion Name: Living Dead
Description of Effect: Once ingested, it induces a state akin to one newly dead. Biological life signs are suspended (i.e. no detectable heartbeat or breath) but one's connection to Avalon's magic persists. Brain activity also persists. So, yes, you could feasibly watch yourself being buried or eaten alive. This means a 'detect life' spell could unearth the ruse, and the dowsing pendulum would not be able to find the 'corpse'.
Time Limit: 1 hour
Anything else? Comes with a warning label that says, "Do not use if you fear being buried alive." (Also it tastes like ash.)

Potion Name: Final Sting
Description of Effect: A poison which saps strength and induces paralysis. If ingested, effect is immediate. If poisoned via blood (e.g. a scratch), effect is weaker and takes time to circulate.
Time Limit: 30 minutes - 1 hour
Anything else? It's possible to overdo it and kill yourself (or someone else) with this poison. Please do not use more than the recommended dose.

Potion Name: Apokathairo
Description of Effect: A restorative potion to ease the effects of most common poisons. Will not remove poison on its own but WILL buy you time to reach a healer.
Time Limit: 15 minutes; effective time reduces with each consecutive dose (MAX. ~30 min)
Anything else? None

Potion Name: Chimera's Breath
Description of Effect: Sold as a set of two: The Dragon and The Ram. The Dragon allows one to breathe fire for a short time; The Ram allows one to breathe ice. Users must drink the opposite potion to nullify the former and prevent their mouths from burning/freezing over.
Time Limit: 15 minutes
Anything else? Whether by oversight or design, there is absolutely no way to tell the two bottles apart.

Hello! Thank you for your patience. It's been very hectic and we're still catching up on everything. :) All four potions are approved with the following specifications made:

Final Sting: A poison which saps strength and induces paralysis. If ingested, effect is immediate and lasts 30 minutes. If poisoned via blood (e.g. a scratch), effect is weaker and takes time to circulate but will last 1 hour. Don't use more than the recommended dose for paralysis, as it can be lethal.

>Change: Timings applied to administration technique for clarity of in-game use.Player-created recipes have their names in blue to make them easy to differentiate in the spreadsheet. Let us know if you have any questions!

Edited 2021-04-14 04:39 (UTC)

Potion Name: Blood for Blood
Description of Effect: Causes a short spike in blood pressure and heart rate. May also cause a spike in hormones.
Time Limit: 15 minutes
Anything else? Good for making it seem like you've run a marathon without having actually run one. The alchemist assumes no responsibility for those who take it as a 'performance-enhancing drug'.

Potion Name: One Thousand Needles
Description of Effect: Causes intense prickling all over the body, as though being pricked by...a thousand needles. If prickling persists, see your local chirurgeon.
Time Limit: 5 minutes
Anything else? N/A

Potion Name: Speaker of Nonsense
Description of Effect: Causes someone to monologue on a subject non-stop until the effect wears off.
Time Limit: 15 minutes
Anything else? Otherwise known as the 'Praetorium'.

Potion Name: Skip Potion
Description of Effect: Causes someone to skip about non-stop until the effect wears off.
Time Limit: 5 minutes
Anything else? N/A

Added to the glossary!

Potion Name: First Aid
Description of Effect: Stabilizes a gravely wounded person's vitals to allow their rescuer to transport them to a healer. Does not heal; only buys time.
Time Limit: 15 minutes to 1 hour (depending on severity of wound)
Anything else? Uses venom from the spiders in the April 2021 Vital Venoms quest :)

Added to the glossary!

Potion Name: Mini
Description of Effect: Shrinks something down to a fraction of its original size. Comes with an 'antidote' that can reverse the effect before the time limit expires.
Time Limit: 3 hours
Anything else? This potion would incorporate pixie dust. Not sure how difficult it is to find pixies, but this potion would only be available in limited, sporadic quantities entirely dependent on whether he can obtain pixie dust.

Potion Name: Esuna
Description of Effect: Encourages superficial wounds and skin conditions to heal over (e.g. burns, cuts, blisters). Made WITHOUT plant material so green mages can safely use it.
Time Limit: Takes effect over 30 minutes
Anything else? I hope this doesn't overlap too much with healing magic or the existing Vita potion. The fact that it isn't made out of plant material at all as most natural remedies would be is supposed to be what makes this unique.

Potion Name: Slimeskin
Description of Effect: Turns one's skin extremely springy so that weapons bounce right off. May also make it difficult to hold things. CAUTION: Does not make one invulnerable.
Time Limit: 30 minutes
Anything else? Uses slime material from Libyrinth dungeon

Edited 2021-05-13 16:15 (UTC)

Mini and Esuna approved as-is. Slimeskin was added but the duration was lowered to 15 minutes. (The slimes, unfortunately, aren't very durable.)

Also!! I changed the "how to obtain" for Emet's potions to include a link to his shop page. Let me know if there are any specifically not available in the shop and I'll update the spreadsheet.

Thank you very much! They're all available in his shop so no worries. I'll make a note if they aren't in future. o/

Potion Name: Ravenous Assault ~~(aka. the Tank Buster)~~
Description of Effect: A lethal poison that instantly knocks someone out cold before working its way through their body and shutting down vital organ functions. Designed to prevent those with healing magic from curing themselves as soon as it's applied. Can be ingested or taken in via the blood.
Time Limit: After 15 minutes, the victim can no longer be saved and dies.
Anything else? The poison itself is nothing special. It can be cured by another healer if they reach the victim in time. If not cured by someone with healing magic, the poison may leave the victim with permanent damage to their organs (as is typical of certain real-world poisons).

**NOT FOR SALE**

Added with the note that it is not being sold. How devious~

Thank you! Also I just noticed that the spreadsheet lists his shop as "Poldegmon's" instead of "Polydegmon's" (missing the 'y'). Minor thing but would appreciate it being fixed!

And, would it also be possible to add a note to his Living Dead and Final Sting potions that their sale is now RESTRICTED? Because of Celliwig 8(

Edited 2021-06-19 00:00 (UTC)

Fixed and the note was added! :)

Potion Name: Repose
Description of Effect: Numbs physical sensation throughout entire body and helps induce sleep. However, it sharpens hearing to compensate.
Time Limit: 6-8 hours
Anything else? Not intended for general sale but can be requested from him for a price. This was made in response to a request by Gokudera.

Added to the list. A note was included that a request must be threaded with your character directly to purchase.

Character: Caster (Medea)
Obtained Potions: Opalesce, Everwarm, Vocal Volume & Counter, Moodia, Scramble Ramble, Vita, Inventory Slots, Pheromia, First Aid, Chameleon Facial.

Potion Name: Antécho (Endure)
Description of Effect: Used to make people or objects more resistant to fire. When applied to an object or to skin it prevents burning (including sunburn) and gives a small level of fire resistance, when drunk it gives a greater level, but doesn't last as long.
Time Limit: When applied to objects or skin, lasts 2 hours- when drunk, lasts 30 minutes, but has a stronger effect.
Anything else? It has a bitter taste.

Potion Name: Creusa
Description of Effect: Makes whatever it's put on more flammable. It'll easily catch light when exposed to a flame or source of heat and burn fiercely.
Time Limit: It takes about 15 minutes to sink in and become effective, and after that it lasts on that surface for about an hour.
Anything else? Be very careful when applying- don't get it on your skin!

Potion Name: Ánoixi (Spring)
Description of Effect: Gets stains out of countertops, soft furnishings and wood, leaving the house looking spotless. The scent it leaves behind changes based on the season and it doesn't use any harmful chemicals or components.
Time Limit: Fully protects surfaces for about an hour, the scent itself fades over a week or so.
Anything else? Comes in a bottle with a handy spray nozzle- just don't confuse it for perfume. The colour of the pale liquid inside changes to match the season, too.

Potion Name: Diorthóno (Mend)
Description of Effect: Used to reverse damage and wear from clothing. Specifically, it reverses the state of a garment back to before it was damaged, so it doesn't leave a trace.
Time Limit: Larger tears older than a week can't be fully repaired- wear and tear can be fixed later, but the older it is the worse the effects.
Anything else? It only works on inanimate objects, so it can't be used to close wounds.

Potion Name: Afypnízo (Awaken)
Description of Effect: Prevents the drinker from needing sleep- allowing them to stay awake longer without getting tired or suffering the effects of sleep deprivation. Whilst under its effects it is physically impossible to sleep naturally, even if desired, and it offers some resistance to magic/curses designed to induce sleep.
Time Limit: Effects start wearing off after 3 or 4 days, and after about a week the drinker will pass out for around 24 hours unless another dose is drunk.
Anything else? Side effects of using this long term haven't been tested yet, but it's probably not good for you. ~~No Sleep means Hypnos can't get me.~~

Potion Name: Nanourízo (Lull)
Description of Effect: Induces the drinker into a deep, dreamless sleep. A simple sleeping draught. Unfortunately it doesn't stop cognitive mages from interfering and the sleeper can't be woken up until it wears off.
Time Limit: Depending on the dose it takes between 15 mins - an hour to fall asleep, after which the drinker sleeps for 7-10 hours.
Anything else? Side effects of using this long term haven't been tested yet, but it's probably not good for you.

Potion Name: Nýchta (Night)
Description of Effect: When drunk, it sharpens the drinker's night vision, allowing them to see as effectively in the dark as during the day. However it does make their eyes more light-sensitive, so bright lights will be dazzling.
Time Limit: Effects last around an hour.
Anything else? The bottle is sealed with a white bead that almost looks like an eye. Not creepy at all.

Please excuse my amateur-translated Greek names- happy for any suggestions you think are appropriate :)

Hello and thank you for your patience! After review, the following alterations were made to the listed potions before review:

Antecho (Endure): Used to make people or objects more resistant to fire. When applied to an object or to skin it prevents burning (including sunburn) and gives a small level of fire resistance. Protects against short-term exposure or standard temperature fires; does not protect against fires that burn hotter due to accelerants or magic.
Reason for adjustment: Specified what "small level of fire resistance" meant for clarification.

Creusa: No adjustments.

Anoixi (Spring): No adjustments.

Diorthono (Mend): Larger tears older than a week can't be fully repaired. Long-term wear and tear can be fixed, but the older the damage is, the less effect the potion has.
Reason for Adjustment: Same concept, just wanted to increase clarity.

Afypnizo (Awaken): Effects will last one night per potion. Use of this potion for up to two nights without sleep deprivation effects is possible, but three or four nights will result in severe side-effects. Five nights may result in fatal insomnia unless counteracted by a strong healer.
Reason for adjustment: Potions require a reasonable time limit. Most potions do not last for more time than it takes to digest the contents at most. Additionally, potions can only have one effect as stated in the guidelines (so you can't disappear sleep deprivation and not sleep and have resistance to magic and sleeping curses). We're willing to discuss adjustments to these if you have another idea, but there's no potion that is going to outright block an entire portion of mage abilities for nearly a week.

Nanourizo (Lull): No adjustments.

Nychta: No adjustments.

Please let us know if you'd like to move forward with these or have alternative suggestions based on the reasons for the adjustments, then we will add them to the spreadsheet.

Edited 2021-09-16 00:11 (UTC)

That all sounds perfect- thank you for taking the time to review and amend them, those changes look good to me!

Edited 2021-09-16 12:54 (UTC)

Sorry I haven't updated the spreadsheet yet, a lot's been going on this week! But I just wanted to let you know that they're all approved with the changes for your IC purposes, and I will get them up on the sheet as soon as I can!

All posted, including a note about sale restrictions and links to Caster's shop. Thanks so much for your patience as we catch up on everything!

Thank you! Much appreciated.

Character: Rinea
Obtained Potions: Alchemist

Potion Name: Spirit Ward
Description of Effect: Ghost deterrent. When used around a location, prevents spirits from crossing the threshold. When worn, completely prevents possession by lower-level spirits and irritates more powerful spirits' attempts to do so. Not for consumption; treat it like sunscreen/bugspray OR sprinkle it like a salt circle.
Time Limit: 6-8 hours unless washed off early.
Anything else? here is Rinea's OOC potion contact page! She doesn't have a shop and only makes them upon request.

Added!

Potion Name: Hangover Helper
Description of Effect: A potion capable of either lessening or curing migraines, fatigue, sore muscles, dizziness, nausea, and other symptoms caused by alcohol poisoning. Depending on the severity of the poisoning.
Time Limit: Takes ~30 minutes for the potion to take affect.
Anything else? While it can lessen the symptoms of mild to severe alcohol poisoning, it cannot flush it from the user's system. The user's body will still have to flush the poison from itself as it normally would (urination, vomit, diarrhea etc.) and will still feel some discomfort as a result. Additionally, the user will still have to drink plenty of water due to dehydration.

Potion Name: Chocolate Sleep Aid
Description of Effect: Delicious, chocolate bon bons that have the potion inside of them in the form of a delicious cream. They don't necessarily induce sleep, so much as they help the user relax and give them a state of drowsiness. Can be useful for those restless nights or anxiety attacks.
Time Limit: ~4 hours depending on how many a person ingests.
Anything else? Comes in White chocolate, dark chocolate, milk chocolate. And strawberry, cherry, or raspberry flavored potion filling.

Added with the following adjustments:

Hangover Helper: Hangovers and the symptoms described are withdrawal symptoms, so we adjusted the description accordingly (as alcohol poisoning is a different and potentially deadly condition, characters would likely need a healer or a hospital.)

Sorry for the delay. It looks like the notifications somehow got misplaced.

Character: Belgium

Potion Name: Grow a Waffle
Description of Effect: Just pour the potion over a handful of dirt and within 15 minutes it will form into a fresh, and fluffy waffle.
Time Limit: 15 minutes to turn the dirt into a waffle.
Anything else? The taste... it tastes fine I guess. Not like a true Belgian waffle. I probably wouldn't drink it though, the last person who did was vomiting waffle bits... from both ends.

Edited 2022-01-11 21:37 (UTC)

Added!

Potion Name: Protean
Description of Effect: Temporarily changes someone's physical body to that of the opposite sex. (This includes internal organs.) Side effects include: any typical problems associated with the bodies of that particular sex. The change may also not be comprehensive (e.g. some parts missing, others not going away).
Time Limit: ~6 hours
Anything else? Basically a flexible way for people to temporarily genderbend. The side effects are so people can tailor or randomise their experience.

Potion Name: Death's Design
Description of Effect: Spray or douse the undead with this potion and they will melt away! Or at least, weaken enough for non-Death mages to take out more easily.
Time Limit: 5 - 30 minutes (duration shortens based on size/strength of undead entity as well as amount used on a single target)
Anything else? --

Potion Name: Osteo
Description of Effect: A potion that can soften and partially dissolve Au Ra scales (keratin?).
Time Limit: 15 minutes
Anything else? NOT FOR PUBLIC SALE, available upon request.
