Potion Books

Potion Books are in game items that are readable, and are required for a large amount of the Alchemist and Biochemist skills.

Potion Book 1

Alchemy Basics: Alcohol Creation

----------------Preface-------------------- The entire alchemy world is panicking, even as I write this. Hundreds of Alchemists, despairing of their studies, have produced copious amounts of alcohol using the method that was announced by the Scholar Association. None of us expected this disaster to happen, but more and more Alchemists are abusing this alcohol production method. I hope you, fair reader, never succumb to the ills of alcohol once you decide to learn alchemy. I leave this you this book, hoping that it will prevent future Alchemists from harming themselves with the knowledge they learn. "Alcoholism... It's no good!" ------------------------------------------ What is alcohol? In chemistry, an alcohol is any organic compound in which a hydroxyl group (-OH) is bound to a carbon atom of an alkyl or substituted alkyl group. The general formula is ROH. Methanol is formed when an alkyl group bonds to a methyl group, a hydrophobic alkyl group derived from ethane. Ethanol is formed when an alkyl group bonds to an ethyl group, an alkyl functional group derived from ethane. The structure of an alkyl is the same as its straight chained hydrocarbon counterpart but with one less hydrogen atom. Ingredients: 5 stem, 5 Poison Spore, 1 Empty Test Tube, 1 Empty Bottle Directions: Put sugared stems and poison spores in the empty bottle. Add some water and boil. Collect the gas, and then cool it down for distillation. Place the liquefied gas in the empty test tube. Keep this book with you and refer to it while you gather the ingredients and use the Prepare Potion skill so that you can create Alcohol.

Potion Book 2

Alchemy Basics: Bottle Grenade Creation ----------------Preface-------------------- The book detailing the alcohol production process was used by the public in several ways after they gained access to it. The military incorporated the alcohol production process to develop the Bottle Grenade production process which is detailed in this book. Bottle Grenades were developed for the military: this information is considered highly dangerous, so please do not release this book to the public for the sake of preventing disasters similar to the alcohol fiasco. ------------------------------------------ What is a Bottle Grenade? In its simplest form, a Bottle Grenade is a glass bottle that contains gasoline. Ingredients: 1 Alcohol, 1 Fabric, 1 Empty Bottle Directions: Carefully pour alcohol into a medicine bowl, and expose it in the air to oxidize it. Fill an empty bottle with the oxidized alcohol, and stick the fabric into the bottle so that half of it is soaking the alcohol, and the other half is sticking out of the bottle. Tie a knot in the fabric near the bottle opening to ensure that the alcohol won't spill. Keep this book with you and refer to it while you gather the ingredients and use the Prepare Potion skill so that you can create Bottle Grenades.

Potion Book 4

Alchemy Basics: Plant Bottle Creation


Preface--------------------

Using alchemy to shape and mold biological forms is very difficult, and considered very advanced science. When we conducted form changing experiments on plants, we failed to transform any of them since they were too weak to survive any alchemic changes. Just before we decided to abandon this research, we discovered that the man-eating plants near Mount Mjolnir and Juno are incredibly hardy, and can endure alchemic transformation. This book details the process of transforming man-eating plants into bottle form.



What is a plant bottle? Plant bottles are alchemically treated man-eating plants that have been transformed so that they can be carried in bottles. Throwing this bottle in the ground will produce a fully grown Plant monster that will attack other creatures. Alchemists must have the Summon Flora skill in order to transform the plant bottles into man-eating plants.

Ingredients: 2 Maneater Blossoms, 1 Empty Bottle Directions: Place two Maneater Blossoms in a medicine bowl, and then use the Prepare Potion skill while referring to this book. You must learn the Summon Flora skill to transform plant bottles into man-eating plants again.

Potion Book 5

Basic Alchemy: Marine Sphere Creation


Preface--------------------

We discovered a monster called Marine Sphere while exploring Izlude. It floated peacefully in the water, but exploded if something came into contact with it. We devised a way so that it could survive outside of water and move in the air, and developed a method so that it could be alchemically converted into a bottled form. We think using Marine Spheres as bombs would be useful for Alchemists to defend themselves against hostile enemies.


What is a marine sphere? Marine Spheres are living bombs that explode if something touches it. They can be transformed into a bottled form that must be handled with the appropriate safety precautions. Alchemists must also learn the Summon Marine Sphere skill to transform bottled Marine Spheres back into their original forms. Ingredients: 1 Detonator, 1 Tendon, 1 Empty Bottle Directions: Place the detonator and tendon into a medicine bowl, and use the Prepare Potion skill while referring to this book. You must learn the Summon Marine Sphere skill if you want to Produce a live Marine Sphere from the bottle.

Potion Book 6

Intermediate Alchemy: Glistening Coat


Preface--------------------

The Mage's Energy Coat skill that generates a mana film that protects the caster inspired Alchemists to develop the Glistening Coat. The Glistening Coat can be used in conjunction with protective Alchemist skills enhances protection that won't be affected by most external factors. However, these artificial coats automatically lose their effectiveness after a certain time limit.


What is a Glistening Coat? A glistening coat is a soft, viscous substance that can safely coat objects to temporarily increase their resistance to damage. Only highly skilled Alchemists are capable of applying the Glistening Coat by using the Biochemical Helm, Synthesized Shield, Synthetic Armor, or Alchemical Weapon skills. Required Materials: 1 Alcohol, 1 Zenorc's Fang, 1 Heart of Mermaid, 1 Empty Bottle Process: Fill a medicine bowl halfway with alcohol, and then melt a Zenorc's Fang in it. Wash a heart of mermaid, and add it to the Zenorc fang and alcohol mixture. Finally, use the Prepare Potion skill to pour the solution into an empty bottle. You will need to learn special skills such as Biochemical Helm, Synthesized Shield, Synthetic Armor, and Alchemical Weapon to actually apply the Glistening Coat to equipment.

Potion Book 7

Intermediate Alchemy: Condensed Potions


Preface--------------------

If the basics of potion making is already second nature to you, then you might be prepared for the more advanced process of producing condensed potions. Condensing maximizes the effectiveness of your potions while minimizing their weight and the required production materials.


What is a Condensed Potion? A condensed potion is an incredibly dense potion that has the same effectiveness as its normal counterpart, but is much lighter in weight. Condensing potions is a great convenience since it increases the amount of potions that Alchemists and other adventurers can carry.

Red Slim Potion: Restores 45 HP. Required Materials: 1 Red Potion, 1 Cactus Needle, 1 Empty Cylinder Process: Slowly pour a red potion into a medicine bowl, and mix in ground cactus needle.

Yellow Slim Potion : Restores 175 HP Required Materials: 1 Yellow Potion , 1 Mole Whisker, 1 Empty Cylinder Process: Slowly pour a yellow potion into a medicine bowl, and mix in boiled, liquefied mole whisker. You must keep this book with you as a reference while you use the Prepare Potion skill to pour the solution into an empty cylinder.

White Slim Potion: Restores 325 HP. Required Materials: White Potion, 1 Witch Starsand, 1 Empty Cylinder Process: Slowly pour a white potion into a medicine bowl, and mix in witch starsand. You must keep this book with you as a reference while you use the Prepare Potion skill to pour the solution into an empty cylinder.

Potion Book 8

I can become almost self sufficient if I master the basics of potion making…


Preface--------------------

Required materials: 1 Alcohol, 1 Empty Bottle, 1 Honey Process: Pour honey and alcohol into a medicine bowl, and stir the mixture. Slowly add a small amount of water while continuing to stir the mixture. If you suspect the lack of aloe in this procedure, then think carefully about why you’re an alchemist, and what you can do with alchemy (the correct answer is skip ingredients). You must keep this book with you as a reference while you use the Prepare Potion skill to pour the resulting solution in an empty bottle. Embryo: The basis of alchemic life, and the required item for creating Homunculi.

Potion Book 9

Produce special potions to enhance resistance to elemental properties.


Preface--------------------

You can temporarily increase resistance to the four basic elements, Fire, Water, Wind, and Earth properties, by using catalyzers to produce potions that will provide protection for each element. I write this book on property resistance with the wish that my principles and knowledge of the four basic elements will help future Alchemists.


What is a property resistance potion?

Property resistance potions temporarily increase resistance to one element, but also reduce resistance to that element's opposing element. For example, fireproof potions can reduce damage from the Fire property, but they also increase damage from the Water property.

Fireproof Potion: Enhances Fire property resistance. Required Materials: 2 Frills, 1 Red Gemstone, 1 Empty potion bottle Process: Place the frills and a red gemstone into a medicine bowl. Use the Prepare Potion skill so that the gemstone will begin to catalyze the other ingredients, and then pour the solution into an empty potion bottle. Coldproof Potion: Enhances Water property resistance. Required Materials: 3 Heart of Mermaids, 1 Blue Gemstone, 1 Empty Potion Bottle Process: Place the hearts of mermaid and blue gemstone into a medicine bowl. Use the Prepare Potion skill so that the gemstone will begin to catalyze the other ingredients, and then pour the solution into an empty potion bottle.

Thunderproof Potion: Enhances Wind property resistance. Required Materials: 3 Moth Dust, 1 Blue Gemstone, 1 Empty Potion Bottle Process: Place the moth dust and blue gemstone into a medicine bowl. Use the Prepare Potion skill so that the gemstone will begin to catalyze the other ingredients, and then pour the solution into an empty potion bottle.


Earthproof Potion: Enhances Earth property resistance. Required Materials: 2 Large Jellopies, 1 Yellow Gemstone, 1 Empty potion bottle Process: Place the large jellopies and yellow gemstone into a medicine bowl. Use the Prepare Potion skill so that the gemstone will begin to catalyze the other ingredients, and then pour the solution into an empty potion bottle.
