Alchemy (Hedge Magic)

Description: This simple powder is derived from various plants and minerals. The Sorcerer refines them and puts them through rituals to make them efficacious. The result is a powder that is basically Tylenol. It's good for minor aches and pains, reducing fever, etc.

System: While the ingredients are common, it does take some preparation to make, so there should be some story play there. The ritual makes ten doses. It is stable as long as it's kept dry. The powder dissolves in water, wine, or beer. It takes 3 hours to make, and requires a Intelligence + Occult roll Difficulty = 5. A botch results in a toxic substance that is indistinguishable to everyone from Imhoteps Powder. If consumed it results in intense stomach cramps and muscle cramps. One bashing level of damage is taken for each dose consumed.
