Lesser Vitality Tincture
Description and effects:
When a Vitality Tincture is crafted with a substitute rather than its secret ingredient, it does not destabilize and cease to function, rather it creates a different, weaker potion. When used, a Lesser Vitality Tincture will still give a person energy and immune strength enough to assist in fighting through infection and disease, but it will not cure or treat it. Essentially, it serves as a health supplement, but not a direct medication.
Symptoms of improper dosage of the potion includes vomiting or poops.
Recipe:
Aqua vitae base,
2 weak fire symbols of vigor,
1 moderate water symbol of rejuvenation,
1 moderate earth symbol of perseverance.

Vitality Tincture
Description and effects:
A 'cure-all' medicine and supplement capable of nullifying many infectious diseases, and empowering a person's immune system enough to power through those that remain, or outright immunize against weaker illnisses, if taken when not ill- Provided one takes it often enough, and doesn't stop. Once you're already sick, it can save your life, and in dire situations it may, and emphasis should be placed on may, hold one from catching the plague if taken regularly.
While it is crafted mostly from mundane symbols, its potency is found in the reagent that lends its effective nullification of a vast array of illnesses and infections; Antibiotic bread mold. Without it, the potion would be little more than spicy alcohol with some enhancing properties. This mold is rare and difficult to acquire, as it grows with many other forms of mold at once, and it is up to the alchemist to find a way to cultivate and isolate it.
Overdose symptoms of the potion include; Vomiting, the poops, itchiness, and in severe cases, swelling of the throat. Neither variation of the Vitality Tincture will treat illnesses of a magical nature, limited to exclusively afflictions with a biological component. If you aren't sure if the potion would work on an illness, be sure to ask.
TL;DR: A healing potion for sickies instead of boo-boos.
