<h1>ALCHEMY</h1>
<p>Also: Chemistry, Bombs, Mutations.</p>
<p>
You may perform the Inventory action to rapidly craft a potion with powerful
but somewhat unpredictable effects. When you do so, choose one type of mix
among those you have unlocked (basic, advanced or superior) and spend the
appropriate amount of Inventory Points.
</p>
<h2>MIX</h2>
<table style="width: 100%; border-collapse: collapse">

<p>
When you create a mix, roll the amount of twenty-sided dice indicated by that
mix, then assign one of those rolls to the target table (below) and one to the
effect table (on the right). Discard all remaining dice, then describe the
effects of the mix!
</p>
<h3>Example:</h3>
<p>
You spend 5 Inventory Points for a superior mix and roll four twenty-sided
dice. You roll 3, 14, 9 and 4. You might assign 14 to target and 9 to effect
to grant yourself and all allies Resistance to air and fire; or you could go
on the offensive and assign 9 to target and 4 to effect to deal bolt damage to
a single enemy; or even assign 9 to target and 14 to effect to inflict four
status effects on that foe!
</p>
<p>Whatever your choice, the two dice you don't assign will be discarded.</p>
<p>
The two effects marked with "Any" on the effect table are always available and
can be chosen if none of the available effects appeal to you.
