Synthesis

Revision as of 17:19, 15 March 2015 by Rohai (talk | contribs) (Sub-categorization.)

Synthesis is the process of extracting primes from the earth, and synthesising them into an array of curative minerals.

The process is a multi-part one, taking place out in the world, as well as in an alchemy laboratory.

Extracting

A practitioner of this art may draw primes from the very earth in certain environments; mountains, underground areas, and magma caves. When standing in one of these rooms, they may EXTRACT <prime>.

Synthesis

After the primes are collected, head to your closest alchemy laboratory (these are located in the major cities). Once there, they can be converted into curative minerals with TRANSMUTATE <mineral>.

Abilities in Synthesis

Ability Description
Metallurgy Synthesis of the six alchemical metals.
Syntax: SYNTHESISE <metal>
Cooldown: 2.75 seconds of balance
Resource: 100 mana
Details:

The basis of transmutation, this ability allows the synthesis of the six alchemical metals from the three primes. In order to perform the synthesis, you must be standing within a metallurgical laboratory in which you have permission to work. You must be holding in your hand the prime you wish to synthesise into metal. Each prime may be converted into two of the six metals:

Salt: Lead and iron. Sulphur: Tin and copper. Mercury: Silver and gold.

Due to conflicts between alchemical metals and commodity metals, those produced via metallurgy may be manipulated by the name a<metal>. For example, agold or atin.

Transmutate Combine primes and metals to create curative substances.
Syntax: TRANSMUTATE <mineral>
Cooldown: 3.00 seconds of balance
Resource: 100 mana
Details:

Using transmutation, you may combine and convert alchemical primes and metals into curative, if not particularly appetising, minerals and fluids.

TRANSMUTATE <mineral> will create solid minerals which are either eaten or smoked. This must be done in your city's metallurgy lab, and you must possess the appropriate ingredients and ability in Transmutation.

Ferrum A mineral to cleanse the blood.
Syntax: None
Ingredients: 1 sulphur, 2 iron.

Extraction Draw the primes from the earth.
Syntax: EXTRACT <prime>
Cooldown: 3.50 seconds of balance
Resource: 20 mana
Details:

The three primes are present throughout the land, and may be drawn from the ground in certain environments. Mountains, the underground, and magma caves all may be used to extract the primes. The amounts of primes per room is limited however, and you will only be capable of extracting each prime once per room.
