DiE Potions

Postby MagusZeal » Fri Jun 28, 2013 12:41 pm

So Knight's been asking about a potion list lately, and as there are a few others using alchemy I figured this should be up as a wider discussion. Below is some of the stuff Knight's worked up, so take a look and speak up. Also if you have any to add go for it.




Potion Name:
Type:
Difficulty: (from *-*****)
Requires Magic? (Yes/No)
Description:
Effects:
Side-Effects:
Process:
Ingredients: (Optional since we do not have a list of herbs. Unless we need to make one.)
Processable? (Without Magic) (Yes/No + How)
Processable? (With Magic) (Yes/No + How)
Memorized? (Yes/No)




Potions known by Bubbles (knowledge that it exists)

Potion Name: Mend-All Potion
Type: Healing
Difficulty: *
Requires Magic? No
Description: A fairly easy potion that, with practice, any pony can make easily without much difficulty. Thanks to it's reliability and also it's ease of production, it's a favorite to many combat types and anypony else involved in fighting for a good pickmeup after a serious battle. However despite its popularity and its utillity, because it's so easy to make, there can be a lot of problems. The shelf life of the potion changes how effective it can be, where being left out for more than a month leads to the potion becoming the equivalent of disgusting tasting water. It's effects are strongest when drunk almost seconds after it's made, it's effects only taking seconds to occur. But just after a minute, it takes a bit longer, and after a few days, all it ends up doing is speeding up recovery time to heal things by few days. It does not kill any of the pain, so you can feel the burning and the itching sensations as the wounds close up. The worse they are, the wores those sensations usually are. And there have been... horror stories too attributed to it. So despite it's effectiveness, most ponies would be willing to check themselves into a hospital if they could. After all, at least the food doesn't taste a combination between a habenaro pepper with an extraordinarily bitter after-taste. But most ponies use it as a sort of temporary life support, which helps a mortally wounded pony to be able to last long enough to get to a hospital and survive... Or extend the extent of how much of a beating a pony can take.

It's got the classic red-color attributed to healing, and it's consistancy is similar to water.

Effect: Speeds up a pony's recovery time, up to just a couple of minutes, to a couple of months. Can also be used as a temporary life-support, to keep a pony alive longer from a fatal wound if necessary.
Side-Effects: Minor Fatigue after the potion finishes. However on broken bones, if they aren't set properly, can result in permanent damage.
Process: Crush the herbs (Not requires, but increases potency by a little the finer they're crushed), boil them in water, stir for three minutes exactly, and you're done! Drink a cup full when hot to get best results. Add Mint to lessen the flavor.
Ingredients: (N/A)
Processable? (Without Magic) Yes
Processable? (With Magic) Yes
Memorized? Yes

Potion Name: Cold-Cure Elixer
Type: Healing
Difficulty: ***
Requires Magic? No
Description: Not the easiest potion in the world to make, but the go to potion to get rid of colds, from between nothing, and extraordinarily natsy colds. One sip, and it just takes minutes for the sinus to clear up, and another for the fever to clear up. However, it is a little more expensive than normal remedies due to the fact that it takes a lot of materials to make it, and the process, though not that hard, is very precise. It has a very cool flavor, but is just a tiny bit sour. More preferable than normal cough syrup, and goes down smoother than cider. Because of that, there are some weird ponies that are fans nough to enjoy just drinking the potion recreationally. One bar in Canterlot actually serves a special mixed drink that involves this potion, some green apple cider, a hint of lime, and salt. Called the "Shnoz Cider Sensation'.

A cool blue, misty liquid that seems to run just a little thicker than water. However it's... More energetic, so despite the fact it's thicker than water, it seems to flow much quicker than water.

Effects: Cures the cold, clears up cold symptoms, and leaves a nice warm feeling in the stomach.
Side-Effects: Occasionally strong Drowsyness, sensitivity to cold a little greater.
Process: Take the herbs, and shred them into fine strips. Place them into a pewter cauldron, and gently pour lukewarm water into the container. Stir clockwise 12 times under thirty seconds, quickly add an ice cube, and stir slowly counter-clockwise four times. Bottle, and let it sit for a few hours. Shake before drinking.
Ingredients: (N/A)
Processable? (Without Magic) No
Processable? (With Magic) Yes
Memorized? Yes

Potion Name: Pain Dull
Type: Healing (Main)/Buff (Secondary)
Difficulty: ****
Requires Magic? No
Description: A difficult potion to make, but only because of the added steps that are required to make it's potency stay consistent over time. But because of them, they last /years/. In fact, there is one legend that a potion brewed way back before Princess Luna was banished to the moon, was still potent and used by the Princess when she came back to cure a particularly nasty headache she had getting used to being back in the bright sun again. It also can kill pain that comes in while the potion is going on. However due to that being how it's advertised, there has been many cases of ponies overdosing on the potion after a broken heart. Thankfully it wasn't toxic, but the effects still weren't good for the liver.

It's a colorless liquid that can be very easily mistaken for water, until flipped over due to it's consistancy being doubley thicker than syrup. The potency is strong enough that one drop is enough to dull the worst pain.

Effects: Kills Pain completely. Sadly doesn't kill emotional pain.
Side-Effects: Slight Pins and Needles in the nose, and wherever the pain is occuring. If taken too much, temporary loss of feelings in the body, making one as mobile and agile as a limp rag.
Process: Take the herbs, and grind them so fine that they're smoother than sand. Leave it out on a window sill, and have it absorb sunlight and moonlight for three days and three nights straight (Don't do this if the weather report says it's going to be cloudy... Or try to bribe the local weather corener to leave your house sunny), Add /ONE PETAL/ of powdered poison joke (Make sure to wash your hooves and supplies well!), and mix it in with the other herbs. Add some dragon snot (perferably from a baby), and heat until it's transparent. Then let it dry out for another day, then take the white powder, and dissolve it until it's gone in cold water.
Ingredients: Herbs(N/A), Sunlight/Moonlight (Bottled if possible[?]), dragon snot, Poison Joke, Cold Water
Processable? (Without Magic) Yes
Processable? (With Magic) Yes
Memorized? Yes

Potion Name: Stamina-Shot
Type: Buff
Difficulty: *****
Requires Magic? Yes
Description: A very, /very/ popular potion with thrill seekers, and reckless warriors. This potion is a great pick me up when feeling tired... Well, it actually isn't. It just makes you feel very anxious along with it. But it's great when in combat, or when just running down the street. Most ponies that take it however end up puking afterwards, but usually after screaming at the top of their lungs "YEEAAAAAAAH". Ther's a rumor of a very seedy bar in downtown Manehattan has made a drink with this potion involving vodka (imported[smuggled] from the gryphons), zap apple cider, and LOTS of salt. ...not always the normal kind. Authorities have not confirmed this.

A bubbly, foamy, green elixer, with a fizzy texture at the end. This ain't your grandpa's soda pop folks! It does leave a very fruity after-taste after it goes down.

Effects: Forces the production of Adrenaline
Side-Effects: Adrenaline run off aferwards, puking, sudden bursts of adrenaline when using the toilet, exhaustion
Process: Stir vigorously 300 times exactly in under 30 seconds, while tossing in the ingredients in the moving water. dragon snot is a good additive. Pour and cork into a bottle quickly before the foam pours out of the container, and stains/burn the table. Let it sit and calm down before drinking, or you'll just get heartburn and violent diarhea.
Ingredients: (Optional since we do not have a list of herbs. Unless we need to make one.)
Processable? (Without Magic) No
Processable? (With Magic) Yes
Memorized? No

Potion Name: Strength Draught
Type: Healing (Main)/Buff (Secondary)
Difficulty: ***
Requires Magic? No
Description: Though effective at helping older ponies get around, and helps build strength and keep strength very easily, it's considered cheating by most soldiers and bodybuilding competitions.

It's a weird orange potion that's almost like jelly. But it's also a liquid...? It's got a rough, gritty texture, and taste like prunes with cinnamon.

Effects: Increases one's personal strength (permanently), helps build muscles and keep them easier too.
Side-Effects: Hair grows in much thinner, bowel movements are much more difficult to pass through.
Process: Chop the herbs, then boil them in a cauldron. Take the herbs out, and squeeze out the absorbed water into a vial. Let it sit, then add some crushed owl feathers. Drink after chilling.

However, you splash it on somepony or cut somepony with a blade coated with this stuff, it's guarenteed they'll get a nasty infection, and a baaaad burning sensation. Though it's honestly garbage, it's safer to bottle rather than tossing downt he drain, and reviving some dead goldfish into a giant mutant monstrosity that'll attack the city.

Quick note, even though Bubbles doesn't know a potion perfectly/memorizes it, I'm gonna go with the fact she can remember what ingredients are required at minimum.

Memorized? Yes

Potion Name: Breathing Potion
Type: Buff
Difficulty: ****
Requires Magic? Yes
Description: A very experimental potion that was originally intended allow anyone who drinks it to breath underwater. Instead, it makes it so that the imbiber has /no need/ to breath for a short amount of time. A curious creation, that Bubbles made on her own and had a trial run with Prank. However, the young filly isn't confident enough to put it out to sell to the public juuust yet.

A strange... fluffy liquid? Prank described to the filly that it was like swallowing a cloud. Easy, but somewhat choking and very tasteless.

Effects: Allows the imbiber to go sometime without the need to breath. Cancels the body's automatic process of breathing.
Side-Effects: Lack of Smell, and taste. Could easily make a pony forget how to breath, and suffer from faintness when trying to recall.
Process: Steam the herbs, and capture the vapors with magic. Levitation magic works fine, but there are more efficient manners. Place it within a vial, and add some crushed apple seeds. Place it up high (the higher, the more potent), and let it cool. When drinking, try to get some both in your stomach, and your lungs at the same time. Not too hard, but your body could try to fight it.
Ingredients: Herbs, Magic, Apple Seeds
Processable? (Without Magic) No
Processable? (With Magic) Yes
Memorized? Sort of.

Potion Name: Flame Resistance Oil Ver. 1
Type: Buff
Difficulty: ******
Requires Magic? No
Description: Though this potion is very useful when having to deal with fire, and is a favorite used by fire fighter ponies, it's difficaulty to make and the difficaulty t swallow makes this a very hard to sell potion. And fire fighters have spells to protect themselves anyways, so the market for this potion isn't very large. Maybe to dragon slayers, and other eccentric ponies, but unfortunately this potion only stops normal fire from burning the skin. More difficult potions might be recommended. However, this is a pyromaniac's best friend.

The potion flipping GLOWS, warm like a heated stone, and is the SPICIEST THING IN THE WORLD. It's why you shouldn't drink this potion (you will spit fire, and your throat will get third degree burns). It's meant to be placed upon skin, coats, or even clothing for best effect.

Effects: Acts as a barrier to fire and heat for a short time.
Side-Effects: Severe Itching, and iritation. Skin Peeling as though you've been sunburned.
Process: Spark the Dragon Scales, and let them burn into ash. While crushing the ashes, drizzle the snot on, and then boil the result. Boil until evaporated, and add a little bit of tar, and salt. Stir the sludge, and place in a vial. Shake well (while hot, gloves are recommended).
Ingredients: Dragon Snot, Flaked Dragon Scale, Tar, Salt
Processable? (Without Magic) No
Processable? (With Magic) Yes
Memorized? No

Potion Name: Jokes on You
Type: Debuff
Difficulty: ** (* for unicorns)
Requires Magic? No
Description: It's a pretty basic potion to make. Extract of Poison Joke, in a form that the poison would only affect whoever it splashes on, or drinks it. The upside though is that somepony was kind enough to figure out how to dilute the extract, and let the effects be temporary. It's obviously easier for unicorns to make because they don't have to directly touch the plant.

It's a bluish color, and a watery texture. If you were to listen closely, the popping bubbles inside sound faintly of laughter.

Effects: Poison Joke
Side-Effects: Poison Joke.
Process: Boil Poison Joke, Strain the plant and use the extract as the potion. Again, remember to wash your tools when you're done.
Ingredients: Poison Joke
Processable? (Without Magic) Yes
Processable? (With Magic) No
Memorized? (Yes/No)

Potion Name: Eau De Screw Up
Type: Offensive (Main)/Poison (Secondary/Maybe)
Difficulty: (No Stars)
Requires Magic? Yes/No
Description: It's just refuse and a messed up potion. The effects are unknown, but one things for sure, it's definitely not a good idea to drink it. However, you splash it on somepony or cut somepony with a blade coated with this stuff, it's guarenteed they'll get a nasty infection, and a baaaad burning sensation. Though it's honestly garbage, it's safer to bottle rather than tossing downt he drain, and reviving some dead goldfish into a giant mutant monstrosity that'll attack the city.

Effects: Unknown/Random (When Drunk), Infection (In contact with wounds)

Ingredients: Any

Other Potions (Not known by Bubbles yet)

Potion Name: Hearts over Hooves
Type: Misc.
Difficulty: ******
Requires Magic? Yes

Effects: Temporary Aphrodesiac
Side-Effects: Pseudo-Infatuation. Temporary Puberty.
Process: Crush the herbs finely, add it to a vial, then add water. Focus magic on the vial, and think of your object of affection while you make the vial 'glow'.

Potion Name: The Elixer of Health
Type: Healing
Difficulty: (?)
Requires Magic? Yes
Description: Created by a master potion maker that only very few ponies know about, supposedly this mixture was such a superior health potion, that not only did it cure any disease and injury without any bad side-effects, it had whoever drunk the potion revert to when they were at the prime of life. Meaning it made old ponies become younger, and young ponies become older. The knowledge of how it's made has been lost.

Potion Name: The Ultimate De-Toxifier
Type: Healing/Potion Making Tool
Difficulty: *
Requires Magic? No
Description: Ah, the Detoxifying potion. Best friend to every potion maker there is, and the most important tool in their arsenal. Since most potion makers are forced to drink their own potions first to test them. And until this baby was made, you drank something bad? You're dead. Despite the usefulness of it though, it doesn't really do well with lactose-intolerant ponies, due to it mainly being sour milk. And since Bubbles is Lactose Intolerant... Well, let's just say she tries to be extra careful when experimenting.

It looks like chunky milk with herbs floating in it. Smells funky too.Tastes disgusting too.

Effects: Cleanses the body of any impurities and Toxins gradually over-time
Side-Effects: Nausea
Process: Take some milk, and warm it up. Add some mint, some other herbs, and let it sit for a day or two until the milk curdles. Drink when necessary.
Ingredients: Milk, Herbs, Mint
Processable? (Without Magic) No
Processable? (With Magic) Yes

Potion Name: Draught of Protective Warding (Nicked 'Alchemist's Engagement Ring')
Type: Buff
Difficulty: **********
Requires Magic? No
Description: A very potent potion that can protect a pony. With it's difficulty, and nature of containment it's a huge symbol of trust or importance if it were to be given to another. After all, it's cheaper and easier to give someone a potion of healing afterwards, than this before hand. In fact, most alchemists would only drink this if it were on them if they might die from something, but if not, they'd just make something else to help. Even if it'd be weeks later to ease the pain. If it isn't contained in a special container made from glass tempered by dragon fire (difficult, since dragonfire's hot enough to completely melt it instantly.), it's shelf life is exactly 30 seconds. Dragon fire glass is generally used more in art, so it's a very expensive material to make apotion vial out of. And when it is, they usually end up only small enough to hold a few gulps or so. The glass is a little warm to the touch, which is why it allows the shelf life of the potion to go from 30 seconds to almost forever.
Effects: Grants a temporary protective magic shield against minor wounds and burns, and maybe at the right time, a mortal blow. The effect duration lasts for how much is drunk, a gulp being just a few minutes, and a large vial being a day or two. A cauldron would probably last years if you could drink it all, but the spoiled poison is toxic.
Side-Effects: None. But if overindulged, a sense of self-importance or invincibility to everything (including emotional wounds) (Probably do to the symbol of the potion rather than the actual potion)
Process: It's a three day process to create this potion, with the amount of stewing to create it and careful mixing and measuring and the amount if ingrediants it needs (a ridiculous amount), it's not profitable to sell.
Ingredients: The entire stock of an alchemist, all of the basis and non-rare advanced materials.
Processable? (Without Magic) No
Processable? (With Magic) No
Memorized? Yes, all alchemists/potion makers should be able t make this, since it's a goal of most to come up with a more economically feasable version of this that's effective.

Memorized? Yes, all alchemists/potion makers should be able to make this, since it's a goal of most to come up with a more economically feasable version of this that's effective and profitable (though this one would still probably be made). As well as it being almost a right of passage for an alchemist to graduate novicehood.

Various Additions:
Dragon Glass is only able to be processed through Adult Dragon Fire, since Baby Dragon Fire is not strong enough or precise enough to craft it. It was a somewhat expensive material before the war, but now that the Equestrians have war against the dragons, the price has hiked much higher.

In the beginning of the war, this potion was used very frequently. But due to the fact of the meaning of the potions to the alchemists, and the fact it drained alchemy stores so quickly, the feasibility of the potion as a war asset quickly shriveled.

When a child starts out their novice hood, the parent usually gives them a full vial of the potion to keep. And when the child learns the recipe, they are a full fledged alchemist.

Dragon glass vials are quite a symbol of an alchemist’s skill and status. A more skilled alchemist would have a smaller vial, but a more intricate one. Needing it less, means better the skill. A wealthier and more successful alchemist would probably have multiple vials. It is said that a legendary alchemist once wore and owned 100 dragon glass vials that held only a drop each. Generally though, multiple vials of the same potion isn’t very useful, so alchemists used the vials as an advertising manner, having each charmvial hold a different potion. Doubled as a pretty good place to store emergency potions if the alchemist was caught without their pouch.

The nickname of the potion being ‘The Alchemist’s Love’ is because of the tradition of if an alchemist were to give their vial to another pony, full or not, it meant a lot in how much care and trust the alchemist had in the other. Generally since the vials’ purpose was to carry and contain these potions, they usually always had the draught inside as well. A passing from parent to child is a right of passage for the alchemists, and lending it to another is a great sign of friendship and trust. Outright giving it away showed how much love a alchemist had for another. In fact, if two alchemists were to get married (an honestly rare occurrence), rather than exchanging rings, they exchanged vials.

The vial and the potion has a strange property among alchemists, where despite each alchemist following the process exactly the same with the exact ingredients, some of the attributes of the potion changed. The effects were the exact same each time they were consumed, but each of the potion variations had different taste, textures, and even scent as well. Nopony could explain why or how that came about, but it’s almost a trademark mark of who made that potion.
