Alchemical Recipés ~ *
1. Sunspots * Literally, Sunshine in a bottle! Uncorking Sunspots releases bright flashing lights that can be used to confuse or blind an enemy or illuminate a dark area!
Sundew is the plant required for Sunspots. In order to prepare it, the sundew must be cut fresh and hung to dry in the sun with the flowers hanging down. After three days of drying the flowers, take them down at noon and submerse them in canola oil for two hours and then add a hot flame under the alembic. The subsequent juice that bubbles up out of the alembic mut be captured in a copper basin and left to cool before being transfered to a glass vessal. Once the cork stopper is put in, the Sunspots will take affect next time the cork is taken out of the vial. 1 Sundew Blossom makes One Vial of Sunspots.
2. Stardust * Stardust is like Tinkerbell's pixie dust. It enables you to hover, jump, and fly higher than your normal restriction by double the height!
Windflower is the flower required for Stardust. In order to prepare it, the windflower must be hand picked from the wild, although a weaker version of the flower can be found in the grass plots of the Flora Gardens. After being plucked, within 1 hour of picking the blossoms, the leaves and stems are to be removed by hand and the heads placed in a silver basin with cold freshwater. This basin is to be left in the starlight for one night, and before dawn strikes, the flowers are to be removed with a silver mesh net and crushed into paste in a white marble mortal with a crystal pestle. This mixture must then be flattened and dried on glass panels. Once it is sufficiently dried, it can be crumbled into powder which can then be transferred into a silver or glass vial. 3 heads of windflower makes One Vial of Stardust.
3. Fire Drops * This liquid ignites when it hits oxygen and starts a flame that will catch on whatever it has been dropped onto...even if that surface is not generally flammable!
St. Ignatius Bean is the plant you will need to make Fire Drops. The beans need to be crushed using a cast iron mortar and pestle, and then need to be mixed with equal parts magnesium, 40,000 h.u. cayenne, saffloer oil and heated over an open flame. one the mixture reaches a boil, reduce the heat and transfer the mixture into a bowl made of smokey quartz crystal. Add a medium ladle of safflower and a dropper of alcohol to leach the essence. Strain the mixture 17 times, each time adding a dropper of alcohol. At the end of the 17th repetition, a glowing droplet of oil should rise to the serface. Remove this with a clean dropper and store in a smokey quartz crystal vial. For each bean used you will generate onedrop of fire.
4. Rainwater * This mixture when uncorked releases a torrential spring rain, perfect for dousing fires, quenching thirst and cleaning away footprints or blood!
Water Violet is the blossom you will need to make Rainwater. The blossoms need to the snipped from a clean pool of water during a rainstorm with a pair of sterling silver scissors. The blossoms are to be steeped in a deep raw stone basin, preferable of balsom or sandstone. The blossoms shuld be stirred every two minutes in a clockwise direction for four hours. On the first hour, the alchemist should add in 1 teaspon of silver shavings. On the second hour, four small flourite stones - and when stirring, be careful not to disturb the stones where they have fallen. On the third hour, 24 drops of distilled essential oil of fresia. On the fourth hour a live tadpole should be added, and the alchemist must wait until this tadpole has grown into a full grown frog before moving on to the next step. After the tadpole has grown into a frog, the rest of the mixture is to be strained into a beaker. The frog is to be set free, and the flourite stones left to air dry. Once these things have been done, the remaining mixture is to be corked and used as desired. Each blossom yields 2 minutes of rain.
5. Sacred Ground * This mixture can be sprinkled around a target group, and it acts as a ward, protecting those within the circle from being physically attacked. No malignant force can enter the circle's barrier - so long as it is a complete circle, and no strike and reach outside of it!
Green Coffee will be needed to create Sacred Ground. The coffee beans must be prepared in the dirt from which they were grown. Two-parts dirt to each bean should be crushed in a wooden or stone mortal with a raw-cut stick. Once the mixture is well mixed, crush a small lump of limestone in a seperate stone mortal with the same pestle, and mix the two together. In the same mortar as used for th limestone crush an equal amount of pink rock salt and then mix this also into the mix. Finally burn a stick of yew over the mixture and mix in the ashes. Fold the mixture into the center of the mortar three times with a wooden spatula and then let it sit overnight. Store it in a wooden or stone box, and use only your bare hands, or a spoon of bone or wood to spread the Sacred Ground. Each bean yields 1 foot of protection.
6. Siren's Song* Confused? Baffleghasted? Just plain bleary-eyed and out-of-sorts? No matter what the cause of your muddled brain, Siren's Song can wake you from the fog and put your mind back into prime working order!
Witch Hazel is the plant you will need to compose Siren's Song. Witch Hazel must be picked by hand and wrapped in cotton. Music must be playing while working with the witch hazel, although it is more effective if the alchemist herself sings while working with the plant. With a wooden wand of ash, poplar or dogwood, the entirity of the witch hazel must be touched with the wandtip, then turned over on the bed of cotton, and repeated along the back of the sprig. Then, using gold-coloured silk thread, the witch hazel should be lowered into a vessel of aloe vera juice and soaked for 1 hour to the second. The leaf should then be dabbed dry with cotton and rubbed with bees wax. Tear the leaves from the Witch Hazel and place each one in turn into a storage vessel, including the twigs until the entire sprig is fitted into the vessel. You should take care to make sure there is room in between the leaves and twigs, so that air can flow in, touch all the parts and then flow out again carrying the song on the wings of the wind. 1 sprig of witch hazel makes 1 vessel of Siren's Song.
7. Satyr's Celebration * Comrade fallen asleep due to magic of slothly nature? Satyr's Celebration is guaranteed to wake up any sleeping person in hearing distance!
Dwarf Nettle is what you need to make Satyr's Celebration. Satyr's Celebration must be made while music is being played. Both recorded or live music can be used, but live music is more effective, so get a friend to play the Drums, Pipes, Harp or Chants while you cooking up this recipé. The First stage is finding a nice sprig of Dwarf Nettle. Wild is most potent, but there are some plots of 'untended' Dwarf Nettle in the Flora Gardens that work well too. Make sure the sun is at high noon, and wearing leather gloves, cut a 3 inch piece off with a Gold dagger. The second stage is to suspend the Dwarf Nettle over boiling Olive Oil, making sure the nettle becomes wet and saturated with steam. After 1 hour of this phase, remove the boiling oil and heat, and place a gold or brass pan underneath the hanging Nettle clipping. Let it sit for another hour, after this hour is up, collect whatever condensation has dripped off the hanging sprig in a glass jar. Make sure not to let the spring hang longer than an hour, or the potion will be come less effective at a rate of 10% per extra drop contaminating the dish. To use, simple uncork or unscrew the lid and the dancing sound of the potion will come pouring out. Three inches of Dwarf Nettle makes 1 bottle of Satyr's Celebration.

8. Pele's Favour ** Pele, an ancient Goddess of the Volcanoes lives on in this salve. Although it was said she had a terrible temper, she herself was immune to the damages of fire, and using this salve will heal any burns incured!
You will need both Larch and Leopard s Bane to make Pele's Favour. Gather 1 fully bloomed and open Arnica flower from the Leopard's Bane plant, and 1 branch of Larch with at least 5 leaves (The more leaves, the more potent the potion by 2% per extra leaf) by carefully burning them off the main plant with a hot ember or cinder. After you have your specimins, dye a piece of cotton thread with red berry juice - any red-coloured berry will do, such as cranberry, raspberry, strawberry, cherry etc.). using your dyed string, fasten the Leopard's Bane blossom to the branch of Larch, in the attempt to make the flower look like it was grown on the branch. Carefully place this combination into a crucible (any make) and add a single drop of your own blood (preferably from the Finger that governs fire). Light the flame under the crucible and let it cook for 26 minutes. Extinguish the flames immediately after 26 minutes, and remove the branch from the Crucible with the hand you pricked. You will find it warm to the touch, but not hot enough to require gloves. You will find that the flower has actually grafted to the branch as if it had grown there, and that the string and blood are no where to be found. Keep the branch in a wooden box lined with linen. To use remove a leaf from the larch branch and a petal from the arnica blossom, and use the leaf to rub the petal onto the burned area. You will find the petal will magically dissolve to a spreadable paste that will cure the burn instantly. 1 Leopard's Bane flower and a branch with a minimum of 5 Larch leaves creates 1 box of Pele's Favour.
9. Frey's Love ** Frey melted the world and Gerd's heart with one glance. You can heal any frostbite with a rub of Frey's Love!
You will need both Honeysuckle and White Bryony to make Frey's Love.
In order to prepare Frey's Love you will need to make it in coldest winter, preferably in the months of January or February. It can be used at anytime after that, but it's preparation requires very cold, fresh air. A weaker form can be achieved by using magics, or the Frozen Radius Castor Shells, but it's effectiveness drops by half, requiring twice the amount to reach the same effect. Using a gold arm ring (such as a bangle or upper arm band) lower it over the Honeysuckle and speak the word "Frey" very clearly, with as much warmth in your voice as you can muster. Then, leaving the gold ring in place, take a matching silver ring and lower it over the selected White Byrony and clearly speak the word "Gerd" with as much coldness and indifference in your voice as possibly. Then pull both selected flowers from the soil, roots and all. In the same bowl of any white material (although white marble is most effective), shear off the roots from both plants with a piece of sharpened clear quartz crystal, or a dagger made of glass. As ice shards and crush the mixture together. Then, in a plot of medium soil, bury the mixture and place it on a window sill. When the first light of dawn hits the soil, it will pring to life with fresh green shoots. Cut these shoots with the same quartz or glass dagger used before and grind these leaves together until you get a thick paste. Store in a glass jar, preferable one tinted blue to make it keep longer. One honeysuckle plant and One White Byrony makes 1 glass jar of Frey's Love (this can be used up to 8 times).
10. Medea's Salve ** Medea was a powerful sorceress, and helped Jason steal the Golden Fleece! Medea's salve will cure any poison!
You will need both Poison Nut and Poison Ivy to make Medea's Salve.
The nut of the Poison Nut plant is safe enough to pick with your bare hands, but the Poison Ivy is best picked with linen or muslin. Gather a small sprig of Poison Ivy and 1 nut from the Poison Nut plant. Stew the Poison Ivy in a glass alembic, and capture the steam in a glass jar. Ensure that this jar is large enough for the finished salve, as the steam must not be transferred to another vessel. While the alembic is stewing, heat the Poison Nut in boiling olive oil until soft - generally about 10 to 15 minutes. Once softened, remove with a brass spoon and lay out on a fresh piece of linen or muslin. Using a crude stone dagger cut the nut in half and sprinkle with nutmeg. The nutmeg will coax an oily ooze to the surface of the nut's centre. Scrap this off with a gold spoon and drop it into the jar with the steam. Add in three syringes of Cacus blood and seal the jar. Shake well. When it has congealed and thickened you will have a finished salve that can be used up to 8 times afterwards. One sprig of Poison Ivy and One Poison Nut make 1 jar of Salve.
11. Live Wire ** Live Wire will give you a boost when those limbs don't seem to be moving, yup a paralysis heal like no other!
You will need both Onion and Wild Rose Hip to make Live Wire.
12. Galatea's Kiss ** Galatea was once made of stone, but at Pygmalion's kiss she became living flesh, so if you've been turned to stone, have no fear, Galatea's Kiss is here!!
You will need both Sweet Chestnut and Rock Rose to make Galatea's Kiss.

Alchemical Styles ~ Ceres
Advanced Alchemical practices requires the involvement of many other studies, including Botany, Mathematics, Science and Crafting. However, there are a few practices that can be used by many of the different studies to enhance the strength and effectiveness of the potions you'll be making.
These practices are called Styles.
Ceres Style: Ceres style is when you grow all of the required ingredients yourself. It increases the potency of the potions effects, doubled the damage it does.

These practices are called Styles.
Juno Style: Juno style is when you purchase all of the ingredients from shops or other crafters or alchemists, in order to make your potions. This makes the potion only half as potent (rounding up). It is certainly easier, especially for beginners or those that don't have the time to invest in full creation.

These practices are called Styles.
Pallas Style: Pallas style is when you plan out the timing in the making of the potion, and arrange it with strengthening celestial bodies, augmenting Aspects or shapes or other spells or skills that will help the potion to be made perfectly. The affect of Pallas style is that the potion can target a specific body-part or location into a 1 inch area without the extra expenditure of essence that an Empyrean would normally need to focus.

Chiron Style: Chiron style is when you reuse other materials, such as melting down the gold from a mixing bowl to fill the gold quota from a spell or recipee. The benefit of this is that it causes twice the amount of antidote to remedy the effects of the potion. It also means that it can combate other potinos that are of higher strength.
