Here in the apothecary, you can create a potion easily by answering a few questions and combining some of the ingredients you have on hand. While the effect of the potion may be a surprise, paying attention to each ingredient’s properties may help you achieve the desired effect in your brew.
First, you must select a potion base. The base determines the direction of the magic. One holds a solar influence, the other lunar.
