A potion is a drink with magical powers. It is mixed from various reagents, where a reagent can either be an ingredient or a catalyst, and kept in a potion bottle. Potion types range from simple potions, made from a single ingredient, to potions that can only be mixed with sufficient knowledge of the Alchemy skill. Recipes can be found that list the ingredients needed for a complicated potion. Any mistakes or lack of skill usually results in an explosion.
Potions can also be bought at an Apothecary and more occasionally at a Magic Shop or even a General Store, and can be found as treasure or loot.
All potions have size 1x2 in the inventory of a player character. A character can only drink from a bottle once, and drinking deletes the bottle.
Mixing potions
Power
Each potion has a power. The power of a simple potion depends on the quality of the reagent and the skill level in Alchemy of the character that mixes it. When two potions of different power are mixed, the power of the mix is the average of these potions' powers, rounding down. Mixing a catalyst with a potion gives the potion the power of the catalyst, even if that is lower than the original power of the potion.
