Alchemy

Alchemy
Alchemy is the art of potion and medicine making. Most alchemists consider themselves to be specialized mages. Alchemy, in general, is a field taken to by people who fail at manipulating magic. Nevertheless, alchemists are some of the most sought-out people in Kirinar for their healing abilities and potions.

Potions
Potions are the primary reasons why alchemists are sought out. By collecting natural, everyday ingredients, they are able to create a wide array of potions that help people in everyday situations. Some potions that are already approved and well-known include: The times listed next to each potion depict the MAXIMUM time they are allowed. Other potions will be accepted/rejected on a case-by-case basis. Potions that are not included in this list are healing potions - assume that a potion exists for most injuries (burns, cuts, rashes, diseases (in most cases), etc.).

Alchemists have an extensive knowledge of the creatures of Kirinar and know how to adjust the strength of their potions. Most alchemists work under a mentor for roughly 10 years before going on their own, but there are variations and there have been known to be independent alchemists.

Medicines
Most potions double as medicines in Kirinar, although most alchemists specialize in medicines or potions. Medicines are typically sought after in cities and towns, where a local alchemist may stay to earn a living. Some alchemists double in medicines and potions, and wander Kirinar for work. Alchemists who work primarily with medicines are typically referred to as "doctors" in Kirinar.
