DiE Potions
Posted: 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: 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.
Ingredients: Herbs(N/A), Owl Feathers

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)
Side-Effects: Unknown/Random
Process: Just mess up a potion, and you'll have this.
