Alchemy

The ancient art of alchemy allows you to analyze and create wondrous tinctures and substances like high-quality glass, porcelain, and paints and enamels. To create elixirs and potions, an alchemist needs a formula, a laboratory, and ingredients, which are often hard to come by. Many alchemists are viewed with suspicion out of fear that they might produce toxic clouds and horrendous smells or set their laboratory ablaze during crazy experiments.
