Healing Potion


	Description

	The permanent Healing Potion is one of the most popular Alchemical products. Material components vary from region to region, but they are typically materials that can be processed in liquid form, and are generally combined with an alcoholic base (beer or wine are most common, but some use brandies or liqueurs) for palatability and preservation. The easy portability and convenience of this kind of potion creates a high demand among adventurers and mercenaries.


	Effects
	The Healing Potion transforms the wounded flesh of the drinker to a whole, healthy state. The healing potion may be created at various potencies, but the best are capable of completely healing a Wound. Any typical infection in the wound itself will be removed, but sickness that has already spread into other areas of the body may require a different effect to completely heal.

	Notes

	Note that a potion to heal a light wound might be created "spontaneously," but more significant effects require research and optimization.

	Each region will have a typical formula that is used by most alchemists, based on the local materials available, culture, and the preferences of whichever alchemist first took the time to optimize for those ingredients. Some alchemists or herbalists might have "secret" formulas that are more efficacious than the typical formula.
