Kardel

As an alchemist that has dedicated his life to this very topic, I support this lore with everything in my being. How did I not know of this before? Ithric, once again, you have out done yourself! First your amazing alchemy lore that has been one of the best things to rp since I joined the server, and this is just as good.

I love the lore, one of the reasons being that this is how I have been brewing alchemists fire since I learned about it. I personally think that the throwing chance is appropriate, since alchemists fire is meant to be bottle up in thin glass or crystal bottles that break just as they hit the ground. The potions itself is very strong and very dangerous to handle, hence why i have always RPd carrying my bottles in a bag made of athin fibers, an algae that is a very strong water symbol, and, according to alchemists logic, should be able to make the liquid choke on itself if it was to seep out of the bottle, and since the Athin is almost 97% water, it would not burn, as it is too moist, and it would be like trying to set water on fire. I have always RPd alchemist's fire as a potion that, in truth, is distilled fire, with no oxygen in it, and when it is exposed to oxygen, the particles come to life and spontaneous combustion of the liquid takes place. Also, as fire is created by vibrating particles, pressure would cause the distilled fire to, well, not be distilled anymore. The particles would start to vibrate, and it would catch on fire, hence why it explodes when it is thrown. I fully support this lore, it is great lore, and also makes more sense than the many ways I have sen other alchemist's brew alchemist's fire. +1 Also, I should remind everyone that, accept for being horribly unstable, alchemist's fire is extremely hard to make, not only because of the process of brewing, as the process of brewing is the easy part, but gathering the reagents needed for it; 3 strong fire symbols and 1 strong air symbol, is also very hard. Strong symbols are meant to be very hard to find, and strong fire symbols are most commonly found in the orcish badlands, so that yells out 'Dangerous' for you right there.

Made a poll, vote yes if you support.

Dayum. . .nice work girl! Why not, i can see many different ways these can be applied to alchemy, +1.

Looks the poster near the dwarvern capital over, his amber eyes rapidly scanning its words, as he mutters the contents under his breath, ghost-like fog dripping from his cracked, pale lips. The words bring a chill down Kardels spine, as he pulls his thick green cloak over himself, the violent snows and breezes of the dwarven lands battering upon his once green robes that now are but dyed rags of uncertain pigment. Kardel looks around, frowning "If ah t'ought dis wus formidable. . ." he pauses for a moment "den ah wuud 'ate ta gu ta da Nord."

I am working on my va, if that is what you mean, and i agree with thepost above me, the one by jistuma, that after all, it is just an organ, but it still is related to genitals, so to some it might be innapropriate. I await a wider opinion, and will make a poll as soon as i get to my pc.

Yes, it works for all of this, and yes, the time of regeneration depends on the size of the part being regenerated. For eyes, though, it WILL end in a mutation of some sort, eyes being very delicate, and the more delicate the body part the higher the risk of mutation gets. Now, as for the many concern surrounding the womb liquid, I must say that I do feel I have gone too far. The recipe will be changed IF my other lore regarding alchemical reagents which will be posted soon is accepted, but if not, I still plan to change this with something suitable.

(( Well, the womb can be reached by cutting the lower abdomen in half and retrieving the organ itself. Though, I do understand your concern, and have made up a solution to it. Just like in inappropriate rp we FTB, in the retrieval of the liquid is also not detailed, as even i myself find it twisted, but after all, alchemy would be a boring subject if it was NOT twisted. I definitely agree on the screenshot thing, and as for the problem with rape, its quite simple really, both sides get to agree on it, like with everything else. The heart of a drake dissipates like the rest of the drake after its death, so it is not valid. Golemancery is though to be forgotten, so magegold is gone with it, and do not take this the wrong way, but I have never heard of the other reagents you propose. I used mother's womb liquid just because I knew it would be hard to get, but I might as well make another post about another reagent, as in the beginning, even I did not feel comfortable about the womb liquid. Yet I feel that we should have a wider range of opinions before I change the recipe, both because some people might feel the same as you, or others in a different way, yet I proposed this lore not only for the potion, but also for the RP it would provide, as cutting out a liver and retrieving womb liquid would make for some crazy good RP, and to stop this potion from being mass produced, you would need a VA for zealtory and unprovoked murder for this, so the VA makes it harder OOCly to make this potion. Also, I would love to see your lore about the hydra, and maybe the womb liquid could be replaced by its blood, but this would just make the potion un-necessarily difficult to make, and it would be a nightmare to even think of it. Again, I await for more opinions from a wider audience on this issue, and if the majority votes no, I promise I will change it, in my democratic spirit. @Hex37: Of course alchemy is capable of this. If you can merge animals together to create a chimera, which is practically life, why NOT be able to regenerate a body part over a long period of time, Maybe you did not read the whole lore, and i do not blame you, as it IS pretty long lore, but still, I, and many more, think that alchemy should be capable of doing this. ))

I appreciate the feedback, and as for you questions: ((Wait, so this WONT save your life? Dangit... if only it could regenerate your head... Question: Does it work on small cuts, bruises, gashes, blemishes, etc.?) Yes, it does, but I dont see why you would need to kill a pregnant woman for a small cut when you can use your casual potion of mending :P. As for your life, no, its not Tawkin or Pancea.

The Potion of Regeneration What is this potion?: Well, the potion of regeneration is a potion which helps regenerate lost bodyparts. Before posting a -1, and exiting this post, read the following explanations, because I have thought hard about this potion for a whole load of time, and a sensible answer finally came to me. This potion works in a peculiar way, as you need to stay for many a month, drenching your missing body part in this strange liquid before it regenerates. Another peculiar thing about the regeneration is that when the body part finally regenerates, it will act as if it has never been used, and thus needs physical therapy, which take even more time, as physical therapy itself takes months. Only after the regeneration and therapy, which for limbs usually takes a matter of a whole IC year, and for other body parts even longer. How did this potion come to be?: Far away in the south, in a certain dwarven alchemist's halls of horror, a potion with amazing effects, and horrible side effects was created. Kardel Irongut, the alchemist obsessed with immortality, youth, and transmutation, was determined to find a way how to regenerate his lost hand. Being an experienced herbalist, he was able to identify a plant with this type of potential: the mandragora, most importantly the 'meat' of the mandragora, which had great rejuvenation properties, but was useless without the help of two other major ingredients, fresh human liver originating from a mother's body, and the blood of the individual who is drinking it. A twisted recipe it was, but Kardel was able to find these reagents by certain means, and was able to create a potion using them. But why, why the liver of a person? The reason for this is because the liver is the only human organ that can regenerate himself, a study made by Kardel that proved true, and combined with the ripe 'meat' of the parsnip-like mandragora, which also has great rejuvenation properties. The blood of the patient acts as a navigator, showing the potion what it is supposed to do. With these ingredients a potion capable of restoration of limbs was made, but it comes at a great cost. This potion, more like an oil, is not drank, but applied instead. It works in the most peculiar way, as it requires the user to soak the part he wishes to regenerate in the liquid for a very long time, usually a span of 7 months, as the part slowly regenerates. After the process of regeneration, there is yet another side effect. Since the liver does not truly 'regenerate', but re-creates itself slowly, and in the end is as if the regenerated part had never been used, the regenerated body part will also act as if it were never used. An example of this would be regrowing your arm with this potion, the regenerated arm being as if it was never used, a brand new arm, one that needs a lot of physical therapy, as blood does not run through it properly, and as it is not nearly as old as the rest of the body. The therapy also takes a lot of time, a matter of another 3-5 months, but in the end, the product is a brand new limb, maybe not equal in strength with the others, but still having the same function. Another thing that Kardel purposely did when brewing the potion was make sure that the liquid was useless to anyone but him, to hide his secret. He did this by using his own blood as a base, so that the potion would only work on him. This works with any other person as well, if their blood is used, and this would stop others from using that single brew. How do you prepare this wonderful substance?!: The potion is prepared using the meat of the mandragora, along with a mother's liver of the same race and blood of the user. Using the liver and of an orc, when the user is a dwarf, would result in a horrible regeneration of a strange half orc/dwarf hybrid limb, which is horribly unstable. This potion is put together like any other, accept the blood is the base, and the liver and mandragora being reagents. These reagents are all traced back to the symbol of Water, Water representing life, birth, and in this case regeneration and re-creation, so it alchemically makes sense as well. The potion itself requires fresh ingredients and takes a whole load of time to make, usually a matter of 2 days, its nature being extremely reactant, so the creation can fail very easily. The potion has a certain heat it must be heated to, and this heat must remain constant throughout the whole process. It also must be mixed until it turns into a rich, dark color. Only after this, is the potion valid to use. The nature of the potion: This potion is quite a tricky one, as if prepared wrongly, it might leave your body part only half regenerated, and due to its extensional long period of effect, if used on major organs, like the heart, it might not carry out its effect fast enough to save the patient. It can also leave a body part half-regenerated if not prepared in plentiful quality, so the risks of this potion are much too great, and only very talented alchemists may create it. Sometimes, it may even create a limb that will not accept therapy, and leave you in a horrible situation, so it is always encouraged to be extremely careful when using such a potion.

This is Griff Quality (Maybe even better!) stuff. . .welcome to LotC! Btw, would you consider drawing a crazy old dwarf alchemist? I've been dying to find someone who can, since I don't draw anymore.

I need to add these reagents to my garden...

(( When are the druids most active? I'm at the grove. . .but no druids! ))

Naturally, the alchemists have done it again.Great lore, as is all alchemy lore :D

This lore is so good, I know this better than most of my school lessons!

(( Sorry to say, but someone else, the Serpant's Society, beat you to this. ))
