Potions

Skillful healers, herbalists, and magic users are known to create highly powerful potions which, when drank, produce a variety of effects. In the table below you will find a list of potions, their effects, and where they are commonly found. Quaffing a large number of Healing or Mental Recharge potions in a short period of time may cause an unpleasant tolerance to their magic. Through cleric purging, consuming gremlin food, or drinking certain potions sold by Charky the Haggler, one may reduce or eliminate this tolerance. Drinking potions while underwater may cause additional damage to the user if not done carefully. To use a potion properly whilst underwater, use "quaff potion" rather than "drink potion".

Powders, Mushrooms, and Mushroom Dust

There are two known types of sympathy powder. Both of these can be found in Ravel after visiting Flaw in Hobbitat and inquiring about the goblins there. They will be carried, at random, on the adventurer's that are troubling the old goblin. Red sympathy powder will transfer spell points from the user to the target, and blue sympathy powder will transfer health from the user to the target. Mushrooms can be found throughout most of the wilderness of the continent of Anguish. Most of these mushrooms are edible with little useful properties, while some of them may be used for powerful potions and dusts.

The bright red mushrooms of Sydryth can be magically fashioned to produce a curative that will heal poison ivy. These mushrooms can be found on the forest floor in Sydryth, and given to the elder sprite Avariel to produce such a potion.

In the dark spidery swawps, just northwest of the Sylvanthic woods, you can find bright yellow mushrooms that are quite effective at curing poison. From the entrance, walk northeast, north, then west and pick the mushrooms.

Outside the trolloc-infested village of Greenhaven, within the walls of their camp, can be found a healer who specializes in herbs and dusts. He has a fine selection of Mushroom Dusts which can be used for a number of - mostly malicious - purposes. Seek out Arquvi the healer to purchase these dusts.
