Adia’s Bitter Brew

Drunk mostly by the elderly, this bitter brew helps prevent the degradation of memories with age. Unlike Forget-me-not candies, it does not make memories clearer. Consequently, one can not use it to aid in the recall of past events once that event is gone from the memory.

Instead, the drink helps retain memories that might otherwise be in danger of fading as the drinker ages (memories of childhood, academic knowledge, etc.). The brew does not prevent physical deterioration of the brain brought on by disease or damage.

Because any addition of sweetener will decrease its effect, most younger people dislike it for its bitter taste.

Calming Candies

These lemon-flavored hard candies are actually incredibly intense in their effects. They work immediately to bring about a state of calm in a person, enabling them to better concentrate and handle whatever is agitating them.

These candies can be used to temporarily lessen the effects on the system of many mood-heightening substances.

Oil of Relaxation

This rubbing oil is used to smooth one's stress away. Normally dabbed on the temples, it brings a tingling, cooling feeling to the area that helps relieves any headaches that might be associated with stress and promotes a relaxing almost floating sensation.

Because of its side effect, drowsiness, it is mostly used during the nights when one is settling down for the night.

Using more than a dab can cause one to act intoxicated and as it is quickly absorbed into the skin, using a large amount on any part of the body is dangerous since it can result in seizures.

Depending on the formula, there can be a subtle eucalyptus or clove scent to the applied area.

Valin’s Savior

A very, very potent purgative. Immediately on consumption the drinker's body begins to evacuate all consumed substances through every available orifice; including pores. An excruciating process for the imbiber, it is predictably extremely messy as well.

Excessively useful in cases of poisoning, Savior can save lives as long as the poison was ingested. It does not work on blood borne poisons.

Preserving Salts

An extremely useful substance since refrigeration is non-existent and ice can be difficult to obtain, Preserving Salts are used to preserve organic materials, typically food. When added to water, the Salts soften and expand into a gelatin that food can then be covered with or submerged in. The process is similar to brining, but the preserved matter will maintain its freshness for two weeks without a change in composition, flavor, color, or smell.

The material to be preserved must be entirely covered with the Salts. Any exposure to air will rot over time. It is non toxic when ingested. Understandably the Salts are very popular with cooks and have even found a niche with morgue workers who need to preserve bodies for criminal investigations.

Providence’s Nectar

A frothy, thick red potion that relieves hunger. It comes in a variety of flavors, has a delicious flavor, and gives the imbiber a very satisfied 'full' feeling.

Nectar is often used by people who are exploring caves or far-off reaches of the various Isles, so that they don't have to carry as much food with them.

However, the full feeling is not a substitute for proper nutrition; it is possible to starve while taking Providence's Nectar, and in fact several cases of extreme starvation have been reported in young women who are using the potion as a way to lose weight, one case ending in death.

Purify

A thick, viscous liquid that will change saltwater into fresh water. Only one drop of this brown potion is needed in a gallon of saltwater to remove all the salts and provide fresh drinking water.

Purify is popular with explorers and sailors for emergencies on long journeys. It is rarely used outside of a an emergency situation due to the fact that prolonged use can build up harmful toxins in your system that will eventually lead to poisoning.

Undiluted Purify is toxic to ingest, but it has a powerful, easily recognized earthy flavor, it is hard to use in an intentional poisoning.

Abyssal Dream

Abyssal Dream is not only extremely rare, but it is so new that very few people know if its existence. Because of its newness, there are very few details available and most of these details are rumors and assumptions.

What is thus far agreed on is that Abyssal Dream appears to be a derivative of Waking Dream. However, unlike Waking Dream, the victim is susceptible to any command. They can just as easily be commanded to kill themselves as go against their nature.

At this time, nothing else is known.

More potent than its relative Grief Takes, Amnesia is also much more dangerous.

Quickly absorbed into the bloodstream, Amnesia creates permanent memory loss. Depending on the amount used, it can cause the forgetting of memories up to a week past. The more administered, the more that is forgotten. It does not however allow the user to target specific memories - it wipes out an entire period of time completely.

Finding the right amount to use can be very tricky and it can only be safely administered by college-graduated healers. The loss of the memories is irreversible, the memories irretrievable.

Damian's Desiccation

This pale green dust is a dangerous derivative of the tincture behind a Potion of Alertness. Inhaled, it stimulates a person to a point of fierce alertness, energy, and inability to sleep. However the name of the dust is derived from a side-effect. During the induced period of mania, the user experiences severe unquenchable thirst. Users simply can not get enough to drink. The effects last for several hours, at which point the user falls into a deep, hard sleep unless another dose is taken. The dust has a mildly addictive quality.

Damien’s Dust has been used as an abortive. In the right doses, it causes the uterus to contract and the pregnancy to be lost. This induced abortion is almost impossible to detect due to the similarity to a natural miscarriage.

Prolonged use of the dust leads to death either due to heart failure, lack of sleep, or dehydration.

Gastronomy Grease

Developed nearly a century ago by the infamous Draughtian Chef cum Alchemist Chef Auguste Ranhofer, Gastronomy Grease gives the victim the appearance of having severe food poisoning.

The original dishwasher at the restaurant where the Oceanview now stands in Gateway, Rahnhofer had dreams of becoming the Imperial Chef. In an attempt to work his way to the top and discredit his rivals for the position, he developed the Grease.

Though clever application of the Grease, Auguste worked his way up from dishwasher to one of the many chef positions in the Imperial kitchen. He might have obtained the position of Imperial chef itself, had he not in a drunken stupor revealed his Grease to one of the serving men in the kitchen (whose name has long been forgotten). The man used the Grease to get back at nobles who had treated him poorly. It was so successful he shared the formula with his friends, who shared it with their friends, and so on. Soon, the Castle was a battle field of food poisoning. Spoons, cups, tablecloths, clothing, bowls, nothing was spared an application of the Grease, and everyone from servants to the Emperor himself were afflicted for several weeks.

Eventually, when the Grease was discovered, it was outlawed.

A clear, gel-like grease, Grease is absorbed into any porous surface, including skin. Should it be absorbed into skin, it will cause the victim intestinal distress. Within twenty minutes, the victim will have a severe and uncontrollable case of vomiting and diarrhea. The sickness will pass in a few hours, but the victim will be miserable and unable to do nearly anything during that time. Grease is extremely difficult to diagnosis and is often confused with food poisoning.

Love Potion #9

As indicated by its name, this is the ninth (and most famous) in a series of progressively stronger lust potions invented a century ago by the Master Alchemist Francis Trey.

Number Nine, as it is commonly referred to, is less easy to control than Elyssia’s Essence. The feelings of lust it generates are overpoweringly strong. Those intoxicated on Number Nine lose all self control and engage in uncontrolled sexual behavior.

The potion became illegal when the water supply of a town in Draught was exposed to the drug. When merchants arrived in the town a week later, they found everyone dead of horrific causes that were traced back to Number Nine.

Although illegal, there is a niche market for Number Nine. Nobles in arranged marriages who feel no sexual desire for each other but need to provide an heir often turn to this potion for ‘inspiration.’ As long as the dosage is strictly monitored and administered by a Master Alchemist, Number Nine can be quite useful in such situations. However, any who use Number Nine for this purpose must get special authorization from the Duchess of Draught or the Keeper himself. The manufacture or possession of Number Nine is a criminal offense.

Naptha

Naptha is a sticky silver-colored incendiary gel. In combat on both land and sea, Naptha is a thing to be feared. Adhering to whatever it strikes, it sets fire to any combustible matter and is impossible to remove. Inextinguishable, it burns even on water.

It has not been legally manufactured in the Empire since before the Barrier was raised five centuries ago. Originally used in warfare with other countries, the lore surrounding Naptha’s use are horrific. When Naptha strikes human beings the resulting burns are distinguishable from ordinary burns by the fact that they are covered with a viscous black burning magma resembling tar.

When the Barrier was erected, the formulas for Naptha were destroyed and consequently forgotten. Since then, such a veil of secrecy surrounds the production of Naptha that any information relating to it is kept under lock and key. The exact formula for Naptha is considered a Draught secret known only to a small circle of alchemists. Knowing how to make Naptha is as much a crime as possessing it.

Rumor has it that a small amount of Naptha leftover from pre-Barrier days still exists in the hands of the Thieves’ Guild.

Naptha has also been referred to as Abyssal Fire.

Note: Outside the Barrier, Naptha is known as God Fire. Maehdros currently has a monopoly on God Fire.

Paradise

An intense, fast-working drug in the form of a blue powder, Paradise is a more potent, and illegal, form of Euphoria.

The powder is almost never taken by itself (it would likely kill the user if injected directly) but mixed into all forms of drinks. Paradise results in feelings of overwhelming mental, emotional, and physical ecstasy. All of the user’s senses are amplified and everything feels good. Anything of importance to the user no longer has meaning; any sorrows, pains, worries, or regrets wash away leaving the user in a blissful state of being for as long as the high continues.

Paradise is extremely addictive and if taken repeatedly requires increasing dosage to attain the previous high. While under the effects of Paradise, the user loses touch with the physical requirements of their body and the world around them. They might be bleeding to death and not know it.

Although it is rumored that one might build up a tolerance to this drug, it has never been proven. There are, however, cases of overdoses involved with this powder.

Developed by Coleridge Eisenhart approximately 483.

Popeil's Powder

Made from the dust left behind when certain combinations of potions are evaporated under careful conditions, there are as many variants to Popeil's Powder as there are alchemical potions. Understandably, the process of making the Powder is extremely dangerous and miscalculations and failure often result in large explosions. However, this isn’t the reason Popeil’s is outlawed.

Popeil's Powder is a highly addictive hallucinogenic. When inhaled, even the smallest amount will trigger hallucinations. These hallucinations are extremely vivid, ranging from brilliant sensory experiences to fantastical creatures and situations that have no basis in reality but seem real to the individual experiencing them. There are those who have claimed to have seen the world wrung apart, the cosmos born, and the death of gods.

As the effects of the powder fade, the user will be left exhausted, their muscles shaking uncontrollably. Those who overdose on the powder become trapped in a hallucinogenic Wonderland. If their bodies are not cared from, they will eventually die, otherwise they can live for a very long time. The Powder makes a terrible poison as substantial quantities are needed to kill someone.

Some people claim that Popeil's Powder is a spur for creativity, but its addiction is almost always fierce and fatal. Additionally, the potions used to create it vary widely, and any particular batch can be fatal in and of itself. Although the powder can be mixed in a variety of liquids, it always tastes terrible.

It is said that the original alchemist who discovered the Powder was named Popeil and that he overdosed on a particularly potent batch. Before overdosing however, he catalogued a great many hallucinations in a series of books called The Fifteen Golden Keys which to those outside the Alchemy community are considered little more than the ravings of a madman.

An odorless and tasteless powder that dissolves in any liquid, Silent Abyss causes hideous lucid nightmares similar to the fever dreams that often take root in the afflicted. The drug is so named because the dreams have been compared to being cast into the Abyss.

Not actually a soporific, it instead deepens a person's sleep once they reach the REM phase and keeps them embroiled in hellish nightmares for the majority of their sleep cycle. Silent Abyss numbs the imbiber’s nervous system, thus hindering them from action or sound.

On waking, the victim will have received no benefits from the sleep and are in a state of agitation that, depending on the mental constitution of the individual, may last for hours or days. Perhaps one of the worst side-effects of the drug is that the dreams are extremely difficult to forget; the images lingering in the mind long after the nightmares are over.

When combined with alcohol, it can extend the sleeper's 'rest' considerably, for up to 24 hours depending on the amount of alcohol in the bloodstream when the drug is absorbed.

Even a single night of nightmares has been known to drive those with weaker wills to insanity. Long term exposure to Silent Abyss can destroy a person's physical health, deteriorating the nervous system and rendering limbs useless.

Taint

A viscous sap-colored liquid, Taint has an analgesic effect on the user. It numbs the senses, body, and mind, decreasing alertness and leaving the individual with a sense of emotional detachment from their surroundings.

Never used in its purest form, Taint must be diluted with a variety of herbs and specialized alcohol before it can be administered. The resulting concoction may be drunk or absorbed through the skin.

Taint is always addictive. An individual must continue taking frequent doses or they will suffer ill side-effects. After the senses have been so numbed, everything becomes harsher and harder to deal with. Sounds seem louder, lights bright, and any little ache is aggravated. If more than 12 hours go between doses, the user’s body will shut down systematically and they will die.

It has been used as both a poison and a drug, though not many would knowingly take Taint. There are a few rare cases of users being weaned off the poison, but the documented processes are extremely dangerous and few Taint addicts would ever willingly subject themselves to the torture.

Taint is extremely rare due to the fact that its principle ingredient is the ooze left behind by deceased demonic entities. There are probably only ten alchemists in all of the Empire even capable of making it due to the complexity of the brewing and the costly components required.

Thieves' Serum

This foul tasting serum allows those who take it to lie without fear of detection. It will not cause an honest person to start lying, but it will enable the drinker to speak falsehoods with the ease as though they were telling the truth. They will not demonstrate any physical signs (sweaty palms, nervous ticks, increased heart rate, etc.). Even the most trained investigator who hears the lies will have no reason to question the speaker.

Because of its nature, this serum is illegal and cannot be distributed without the permission of the Duchess of Draught or the Emperor. However, it is rumored that the Thieves' Guild might have a small supply of it at hand.

Waking Dream

Waking Dream is an extremely dangerous and highly illegal variation of Mereham's Lavender. Simply being thought to possess the drug or have any connection to it can have a person thrown in jail and brought up on the most severe of criminal charges.

Instead of causing sleep, Waking Dream induces a trance-like state in the victim during which they becomes highly susceptible to suggestion. During this trance, the victim can be forced to think or act according to another person’s will. However, the potion cannot be used to force someone to be self-destructive or defy their basic nature. For example, telling a Purist to sacrifice small children to the Lord of the Abyss will not work.

A victim of Waking Dream will not follow any commands from just anyone. To command the victim, extended eye contact must be made during which the instructions are given. Once the victim has imprinted on the person (usually the one who gave them the potion but not always), they will only follow orders given by that person.

After the potion is imbibed and a command has been given, the victim will do their best to carry out the task. Additional commands cannot be given until the original one is fulfilled or considered failed. The more commands and complexity of commands the victim is given, the greater the chance of their failure. If the person is unable to fulfill a request, they will do as much of the request as they are capable, and then cease all action.

Once the trance has ended and the victim wakes, they will have no memory of the acts they have done or how they came to do them. Instead they will believe they have been sleeping (or sleep walking as the case may be).

In the case of severe overdoses, the victim does not die. Instead, there are documents detailing how victims become a living puppet or zombie, obeying the orders of the one who commands them.

Blackman’s Epitaph

A thick, viscous, clear gel, Epitaph gained its unusual name due to the fact that it became its inventor's final creation, as well as the cause of his demise. The gel is excessively corrosive to organic matter and voraciously dissolves it on contact, sticking and difficult to remove. It can eat through a person's hand in moments, as well as any clothing made from hide or plant, and is only stopped by stone, metal or glass. Nothing was left of Blackman except his belt buckle, nails from his boots, and his glasses.

This clear potion is both greasy and viscous enough to be sticky (something akin to a cross between petroleum jelly and corn syrup). To humans, it has no scent and is non-toxic. To insects and spiders, it's a powerful attractant and poisonous. The strength depends on the amount used, but it's able to attract creepy crawlies from up to fifty yards away. Although it works to some degree on crop-eating pests, it works best on ants, spiders, flies, roaches and other household pests. Usage depends on the insect to be rid of; some must ingest it and others simply drown in it. Moths are completely immune to its effects.

Truth Serum

This serum has the effect of causing some of those who take it to speak freely without regard for what they are saying. It does not so much encourage truthfulness as simply an outpouring of speech without the user’s ability to consciously choose what to reveal and what to keep to themselves. The success rate is variable. The name 'truth serum' is actually a misnomer, because it will not cause people necessarily to tell the truth, and certainly will not prevent anyone from lying.

However, it remains one of the most popular alchemical substances to ever be produced. Many Alchemists have their own personal formula for its production that may include some interesting side effects, but the main result is always the same.

Carem’s Folly

An accidental discovery by a healer named Caram, this potion's appearance and smell resembles a common elixir used for curing headaches. Rumor has it that the now infamous Carem did not store the original potion as directed by the alchemist who provided it and the consequential fermentation resulted in what has forever after been dubbed Carem’s Folly.

Drinking Folly causes hallucinations of sight and sound as well as a sense of euphoria. Because of this, it has become a favorite among teenagers who have been known to spike the punch with it during parties. Every few years there is an eruption of use at the University of Pyria resulting in multiple expulsions.

Excessive drinking during a short interval has been proven to cause addiction in some. There are also cases of imbibers who overdosed and as a result hallucinate all the time.

Once Folly has worn off, the effects are similar to a severe hangover.

Dreamcatchers Delight

This drug acts as a stimulant that encourages a person to dream fantastical lucid dreams that are easily remembered.

It is popular among young adults who believe that these dreams include glimpses of the future and allow them to know important things, for example, who their true love is, what their careers might hold, and so on.

There is no scientific proof that the drug confers any such ability to predict any seer-type ability. This has not dissuaded those who prefer to believe in its ability to open up the mind.

An extremely popular aphrodisiac created by the alchemist Elyssia. A sweet tasting blue-hued elixir, Essence generates intense feelings of sexual arousal that lasts anywhere from one to four hours per dose.

Arousal generated from the essence is well within the individual's ability to control. It is important to note that while Essence is a strong sexual stimulant, it will not compel the drinker to have sex with someone they find repulsive nor will it force them to commit acts of rape.

Manufacture and sales of this drug is rumored to be monitored, but nothing has been proven and the rumors have not stopped its purchase.

Forget-Me-Not Candies

Originally named Aliaune's Peppermint Memory Stimulation Lozenges by the Alchemist who invented them, these little blue chewable candies are better known by their nickname "Forget-me-not". They are used to promote access to specific blocks of memories.

While effects vary in intensity, these candies help clear a path to memories that are murky or unclear. Once taken, the user need only focus on the time period they are attempting to recall. People have been known to remember long-forgotten childhood memories or a particular face in a crowd.

These candies are useful when taking witness statements to a crime, as they can enhance one's memory of certain recent events. They are also used to reverse the effects of alchemical forgetful counterparts such as Grief Takers.

Joy

A less potent cousin of Euphoria, Joy comes in a powder form that when added to liquid fizzes and bubbles. It is a fairly harmless drug where the user finds everything funny and can't stop giggling. Side effects include bouts of giggling (even at the worst news and most inopportune moment), reduced inhibitions, sociability, and an increased desire to share your happiness with those around you (perhaps by dancing and singing, giving people gifts, expression your great love for them, etc.)

Joy is not strong enough to cause any type of addiction. It will not make the user do anything they would not under normal circumstances consider doing. When the effects wear off, the user will remember everything they did. While the drug may be harmless, some of the situations (and people) that the user may be giggling at are not.

Bernard's Instant Relocator Elixir

The Relocator Elixir is a legend among alchemists; the sacred cow that they speak of with awe and wonderment. Few outside the profession know if it, but the legend goes something like this:

Bernard was an Alchemist who lived in the early part of the second century before the Barrier was erected. Of common birth, he cared a great deal for the plight of his common men and women. He dedicated his life’s work to making their lives easier. Although he developed many practical potions during his lifetime (some still in use today), he is most remembered for his Instant Relocator Elixir.

Originally designed as a means of instant travel between places for the Common Man, the Elixir has never been perfected. Bernard vanished before he could finish the formula.

In true Draughtian fashion, Bernard used himself as a test subject. No one knows exactly what happened to him or where he went after he drank the elixir; according to his apprentice Bernard simply vanished.

Rumor has it that the leftovers from the original batch of the Relocator Elixir were bottled immediately, but then vanished themselves. There are those who believe that if they do exist they are in the Emperor's treasury. The formula to manufacture the Elixir has never been found and is believed to be destroyed. What happened to Bernard, his elixirs, his formula, and even his apprentice (who is never mentioned again outside this incident) is wildly spectulated even today.

Cyanide

Not representing a single potion, cyanide is a category applied to a specific type of poison found in many different forms. It is sometimes described as having a bitter almond scent, but it does not always give off an odor nor can everyone detect the scent. Also tasteless, cyanide kills by robbing the blood's ability to transport oxygen ultimately resulting in suffocation. Sub lethal doses cause headaches and dizziness. Individual poisoners have a myriad of ways of harvesting and introducing cyanides to their victims.

• Kyros Blue: One more commonly recognized Draughtian cyanide poisons. A highly lethal poison that dyes the lips of its victims blue.

• Bitter Almond: Often referred to by poisoners as a "crude" or "amateur" poison, Bitter Almond is so named because of the scent which is easily detectable on the breath of the victim.

• Bad Seed: Produced from the seeds of cherries, apples, peaches, and/or apricots, Bad Seed has long been a favorite among food poisoners. It is untraceable.

Providence Pea

Made from the Providence plant (named for the shape of the flowers which appear as hands clasped in prayer), these seeds are red with a black spot covering one end. The poisons from the pea can be made into the form of a powder, a mist, a pellet, or dissolved in water. The symptoms of poisoning vary on the method of delivery to the victim.

• Inhalation: Within a few hours of inhaling significant amounts of powdered Providence Pea, symptoms include difficulty breathing, fever, cough, nausea, and tightness in the chest. Heavy sweating may follow as well as fluid building up in the lungs making breathing even more difficult, and the skin might turn blue. Finally, low blood pressure and respiratory failure may occur, leading to death.

• Ingestion: If a victim swallows a significant amount of the peas, he or she would develop vomiting and diarrhea that may become bloody. Severe dehydration may be the result, followed by low blood pressure. Other signs or symptoms may include hallucinations, seizures, and blood in the urine. Within several days, the person’s liver, spleen, and kidneys will stop working, and the person will very likely die.

• Skin and eye exposure: The powder or mist form can cause redness and pain of the skin and the eyes resulting in blindness.

Death usually occurs within 36 to 72 hours of poisoning.

Regrowth

A potion that is popular among women, especially those who have suffered a bad hair cut. When imbibed, Regrowth causes rapid hair growth.

The only complication with this potion is that it must be ingested and therefore, the growth of the hair is not exclusively on one's head. Over the course of several hours, all the hair on one's body, (i.e. eyebrows, underarms, pubic, etc.) grows at least six inches. Length can vary depending on the dosage and potency of the potion.

Due to the sweet, almond-like taste to the potion, it has been on occasion slipped into people's drinks as a highly embarrassing prank.
