    Can you give an example of a casting emote, of a spell of your choice?

             

    Kayalo move into the basement, into the /secret/ room behind the painting. Upon entering she moved into her rather pathetic excuse of a alchemical lab, went go through the varies pots before finding one housing dried Athin. She'd go slide a glove over her hand, went grasp small portion of the substance, went sprinkle it into a vial of distilled water and allow it to completely soak in. After allowing the mixtures to /absorb/ together she went try poor such into a mortal & pestle before grinding it together into a paste. With a yawn upon finishing she'd look move the Athin paste over onto a metal platter, sliding it off the side and setting a glass lid overtop.

     

    ". . . W'y did I ever get intu dis business" Kay wonder before moving clean out the vial, then soon after the mortal & pestle before leaving. She left the paste to dry out for an entire day, returning after thirteen hours or least something like that. 

     

    She'd move to begin the basics of extractions, removing the - 3 units of coldness, 1 unit of weakness, and finally the 1 unit of purity to their own containers too be used another time. 

     

    the rest of the app is pretty good, but please amend this portion to explain also the creation of a potion of your choice

     

    I can see that you have the extraction process down which is good, you can leave that in if you'd like.

    Nah. For the simple reason that it won't be approached correctly by most folks who intend to use it. Alongside this, the name itself implies a real world application / use. 

     

    Its the same as the one currently accepted though, we haven't had any real issues with people using black powder in rp so I think its rather safe, doesnt need any drastic changes

    Although now that those misunderstandings I had were cleared up, I may just offer my fixes as an amendment to the currently accepted post

     

  3. It's amazing to me that posts like this aren't the ones that get deleted or shut down by the mods

     

    But also, Slorbin
    You could try just asking the ST nicely to fix the posts for you
    I found one earlier today that still had black text and I fixed it, maybe 30 minutes ago
    feel free to link in the comments here any posts that still have the black text

     

    It's amazing what you can achieve when you're not busy foaming at the mouth, isnt it

    Question: what's the purpose of rewriting this if the current lore already stands as valid and does not have any glaring problems?

     

    Current write of black Powder recipe isn't actually craftable, its an invalid recipe from the old alchemy system
     

    This write really is basically just, making the recipe make sense in current alchemy
    There's literally no other changes

     

    I put it on a separate page as a rewrite because I wanted to change how it was worded, what with the bad grammar and all. And it needed better formatting

  5. Recipe:

    -Charcoal

    -Sulfur

    -Saltpeter

    -Pure Grain Alcohol

     

    Appearance:

    Black Powder appears in the form of a dark gray powder with lighter gray granules mixed in.

    Creation:

    The creation involves three components: Saltpeter, Sulfur, Charcoal. The composition is 75% Saltpeter, 15% Charcoal, 10% Sulfur.

    Each ingredient must be processed and ground down, with care not to breathe in the particulates. 

    Prepare the charcoal first, or purchase it already made. Then take your charcoal, saltpeter and sulfur and grind those ingredients down into a very fine powder. Make sure to keep these ingredients separate for now.

    For the amount of the powdered mixes you've prepared, prepare about 2 cups of pure grain alcohol. First, pour half your alcohol slowly into the sulfur powder while it sits on a low heat in a wide pan. Stir it gently until the sulfur is dissolved, be very careful not to allow this mixture to catch fire while stirring. Once dissolved and stirred, you may then add the Charcoal and Saltpeter mixture.

    While the powders and mixing with the alcohol mixture, be sure to wear a mask to avoid inhaling any smoke.

    Turn off the heat, and store your mixture somewhere dark and cold for at least a day, then afterwards set it to dry in the sun. Once it is dried, break it back down into a powder and store it in a container somewhere cool and out of reach of children.

    [[ OOC: For obvious reasons, incorrect steps have been added to the creation process. This is not how you make real black powder. Please do not attempt this. ]]

     

    Raw Effect(s): 

    A Highly reactive material, black powder when ignited will quickly spark and set on fire, only to die shortly after. This can find its uses in a variety of applications, one such is the use for fireworks, a glorious display during festivals.

     

    Signs & Symbols:

    [Fire] and [Earth]

    -Chaos x1

    -Heat x2

    -Burning x2

     

    Redlines:

    - Cannot be weaponized unless specific lore states otherwise.

    - Black powder on its own can't be used to create explosions of any destructive scale.

    - Not an alchemical Recipe

    - Non-alchemists can make black powder, but only alchemists can extract its symbols as a reagent.

    - No ST sign required
