          In the course of recent events within the Dual Kingdom of Hanseti-Ruska, the partnership of Court Alchemist Osric Tsecsar and Surgeon General Lady Adrianna Darkwood have taken it upon themselves to research alternate treatments for severe allergic reactions. As the one to treat the patient in question with a risky procedure, Lady Adrianna asked Osric to devise a potion that could ease the airways open to allow a patient to breathe to prevent the need of a direct opening through surgery.

          With the assistance of Lady Valindra, a fellow Alchemist, the Court Alchemist was able to devise a set of experiments and concoctions for a potion that could assist in treatment. Such was not an easy foray as any voyage into the unknown.

          The main discussion was weighing the correct alchemical symbols that would be of most use to the potion, as clearing the airways was only one problem that needed to be solved through its use. One would have to also deal with the inflammation and any form of rashes that could form and cause irritation.

        And so Purity symbols were included in order to cleanse the infected area and neutralise the cause of the reaction. While the Impediment symbols were included for the purpose of stopping the spread and the Coldness in order to numb the surface of the irritation to allow for an easier flow of air.

          From many experiments and daily use, King’s Ivy has similar properties to that of Caffeine which once imbibed allows for the drinker to feel refreshed and energized, a lesser known side effect being that it relaxes the airways which allows for better air-flow. Choosing to use this as the base for the potion and infuse slowly the symbols into it, allowing them to compliment and build off of the function of the airways and enhancing the Kings Ivy’s natural properties.

          The method of delivery was something that took time, due to its intended use as a way to clear airways and soothing inflammation of the airways, it could not be imbibed. Meaning that a syringe must be the carrier for the drug, after many trials, it was found that the Pulmonary Artery was the best place to insert the drug, as it is large and easily identifiable, while it is close to the intended target of which is the lungs.

Breath of Life

 

Brief Description: Used by medics to open airways and to allow patients to breathe easier. The potion is a clear white colour, being rather viscous and acting almost oil-like, however once injected it will thin out but such a process isn’t without some pain. The potion would have an overpowering clean and fresh aroma, almost to a pungent level.

 

Recipe:

Base - Kings Ivy Oil

Curtailment x 2
Purity x 2
Order x1
Air x2
 

Creation: 

Heat the Kings Ivy Oil over a low heat, allowing it to slowly come to the boil before you begin to add the symbols in the order listed above until they are completely dissolved into the solution. Finally bring it down from the boil and the mixture should begin to turn a clear and almost see-through and pale white colour, being quite viscous in it's consistency. You can add Swiftness at this stage to quicken the effects.

Effects: 

A potion to be injected into the chest of the recipient into their artery as to be directed to the lungs. Once injected, the airways inside and connected to the lungs will relax, causing the airways to open and to ease the breathing that would otherwise be near impossible otherwise. Suited to alleviating the airway based symptoms of allergic reactions. The non-constriction of the airways and the alleviated symptoms would last one narrative hour

Redlines: 

This potion does not heal lung injuries, but alleviates lung irritation and clears airways 
While under the effects, the patient's airways would be in a state of non-constriction for a narrative hour.
The imbiber will be unable to close their airways, making them more susceptible to air-borne pollutants as well as spells/ potions in gaseous form.
When drinking or eating, it is likely that you can choke due to the airways being kept open, however that does not mean immediate death and airways can be cleared through abdominal thrusts and the like.
They will also be more prone to choking on their own saliva. 
It does not automatically restart their breathing if such had stopped. CPR and other methods generally being required to allow the breathing to restart.
Tier 2, Common
