Ichorwerk

Ichorwerk is produced by the Ichor Savants of the Imperial Commission.
Ichorwerk potions come in 3 classes: C, B and A.
A standard adventurer can drink two potions per encounter without ill effect.
Drinking potions beyond this limit with each potion costs a point of PSYCHE.
Note: you should roleplay drinking potions when you use them.
This requires the use of your arms.
Ichorwerk potions can also be thrown as flasks. They take effect upon successfully striking an enemy.
If a potion can be delivered by flask, the description will say so.
Ichorwerk degrades over time and potions carried at the start of the adventure will become useless before the end of the adventure.

Buying Ichorwerk

You can buy Ichorwerk directly from the Comisssion at the following cost:
2 favor for a Class A potion
1 favor for a Class B potion
1 favor for 2 Class C potion.

Buying ichorwerk directly from a Commissioner and not through the official Commission is a high crime.

Buying Black Ichor

Black Ichor can be bought by Commissioners but it is not available for sale in the general market.
Black Ichor costs an Ichor Savant 2 favor.
Possession of Black Ichor by anyone other than a Commissioner is treason.

Class C

Stoneskin

Your skin begins to harden and crack taking on a dry flaky texture but hardening in the process.
You take a REND as this process is quite painful and lose 3 maximum body hits.
You gain 6 Armour hits.
This effect wears off at the end of an encounter.
If you drop to 0 body hits in this way you begin your death count.

Savants Folly

This is the closest the alchemist Guild has ever come to a healing potion.
It reinvigorates the body but is not without side effects.

The drinkers body melts becoming like wind.
They may call DISAPPEARING leaving the encounter and being borne away in whatever direction the wind is currently blowing.

Banshee's Wail

You may call REND by flask.

Alkahest - Chronic Body

You may call BREAK ALL by flask.
If drunk, the drinker takes a SLAY although the fact it will melt through any container not made of obsidian makes it somewhat difficult to use as a subtle poison.

Bloodlust

You are overwhelmed with rage.
You are strengthened until you next kill an enemy, at which point your bloodlust is quenched.

Thunderclap

For the next 10 seconds the drinker becomes intangible.
Call IMMUNE against and effects which hit them.
Physical objects do not impede you but people do. You cannot affect the material world and cannot make calls.

Abyssal Howl

Call MASS FEAR.

Nightingales Song - Normal Soul

The target begins to fall into waking dreams of increasing severity at the beginning of every encounter.
Until they are cured they will take a REND whose duration doubles each time as they succumb once more to a waking dream.

Red Joy - Severe Body

You may call CURSE by flask.
The targets blood begins to seep out of their pores at an increasing rate.
This obvious to any who can see it and yet oddly difficult to cure.

You may call WOUND INDEFINITE by flask.

Excoriating Mist

You may call MASS REND 5.
