A variety of different mixtures are available, from phials of toxic gases which can be thrown into groups of enemies, to helpful concoctions that, when imbibed, will bolster the creator's offensive and defensive capabilities. | A variety of different mixtures are available, from phials of toxic gases which can be thrown into groups of enemies, to helpful concoctions that, when imbibed, will bolster the creator's offensive and defensive capabilities. | ||
The '''Formulation''' | The skill of '''Formulation''' is available to members of the [[Alchemist]] [[class]], along with [[Alchemy]] and [[Physiology]]. Instead of formulation, an Alchemist may choose the skill of [[Sublimation]]. | ||

|detail=This compound alters the physiology of the alchemist. By partially turning one's bones into a dense, iron-like substance, the user shall find themselves slowed but more able to resist physical damage. However, they should be wary of attacks that draw their power from lightning, as they will be particularly vulnerable to such.< | |detail=This compound alters the physiology of the alchemist.

Although the true alchemist shall find experimentation to be the best guide, as a general rule volatility shall cause a faster reaction, stability shall allow the compound to react for a longer period of time, and potency shall cause a more concentrated effect.</p><p>You may also specify the potency, stability and/or volatility of a compound at the time you AMALGAMATE it.</p> | ||

|detail=This compound will cause a violent explosion. While it lacks much damaging potential, it will cause a concussive wave, able to launch any who do not have themselves suitably secured from the location.< | |detail=This compound will cause a violent explosion. While it lacks much damaging potential, it will cause a concussive wave, able to launch any who do not have themselves suitably secured from the location.<p>When the alchemist is at the centre of the detonation, he or she is able to be more accurate, allowing for the explosion to occasionally bypass defences which would otherwise hold a subject in place.</p> | ||

|detail=This serum is possibly the most potent compound of those discovered by modernday alchemists. Able to drive the consumer's body far beyond mortal limits, rumour has it that it was an attempt to replicate the divine miracle performed by Maya which raised the adventurers of Sapience to partial divinity in the battle with the Worldreaver, but through the application of science.< | |detail=This serum is possibly the most potent compound of those discovered by modernday alchemists. Able to drive the consumer's body far beyond mortal limits, rumour has it that it was an attempt to replicate the divine miracle performed by Maya which raised the adventurers of Sapience to partial divinity in the battle with the Worldreaver, but through the application of science.<p>Although the experiment inevitably failed, the result was a serum which could speed up the alchemist's balance and equilibrium to an incredible degree. However, the price is high indeed. Any who consume this compound shall find their body will break down under the strain, resulting in certain death shortly after. For this reason it is dismissed as a failure in many circles, although as a last resort it is without compare.</p> | ||

|detail=This formula is yet another attempt to achieve a superior state of being through the application of science. Although not as potent as some previous attempts, the changes tend to persist for a greater period of time, as well as providing far less danger to the user.< | |detail=This formula is yet another attempt to achieve a superior state of being through the application of science. Although not as potent as some previous attempts, the changes tend to persist for a greater period of time, as well as providing far less danger to the user.<p>The changes make the alchemist both more durable, as well as granting potential for greater control over their own internal processes. The only known drawbacks as of current research is that the subject tends to suffer from a state of heightened aggression, and the backlash when the changes revert can induce minor discomfort.</p> | ||

|detail=This potent ability allows an alchemist who has imbibed the enhancement formula to drive their body into a state of advanced healing. Even the most terrible injuries can be healed, although the toll upon the alchemist's mental reserves is excessively high.< | |detail=This potent ability allows an alchemist who has imbibed the enhancement formula to drive their body into a state of advanced healing. Even the most terrible injuries can be healed, although the toll upon the alchemist's mental reserves is excessively high.<p>It is also theorised that extended use of this ability will cause the backlash from the alchemists physiology reverting from an enhanced state to be exponentially more dangerous.<p> | ||

|detail=The Philosopher's Stone is the pinnacle of Alchemical learning and mastery. The Stone is created in four steps, with each step providing increased power and insight to the Alchemist who creates it. The nigredo, or blackening comes first. Following this is the albedo, the whitening. Then the citrinitas, or yellowing. The final step is the rubedo, or reddening.< | |detail=The Philosopher's Stone is the pinnacle of Alchemical learning and mastery.

What powers it ultimately holds is unknown, but many theories have been whispered in the vaunted halls of the Cauda Pavonis.</p> | ||
