Potion: Poison of Slow

Thanks to Elanor, who blogs some of her alchemy misadventures on Skyrim.

Mechanics & Inner Workings

Poison may be splashed into mucous membrane areas of target. Or imbibed.

• Target moves at half speed for 56 seconds.


• Target is invisible for 34 seconds.


• Creatures and people up to post-graduate training level flee from combat for 30 seconds.


• Restores 42 spell points to Target.

History

Created by noted alchemical research specialist Elanor Ysgrythur, this astounding potion has been studied and analyzed by many sages in an attempt to reverse engineer the detailed steps of the creation process. Unfortunately, Sage Ysgrythur's notes were lost in an unrelated workshop incident.

Significance

I’m like “Let’s make a potion to heal me!” and then what I get is half a gallon of dubious liquid that’s like “Will heal 27 hit points, deplete your stamina, clear your mortal enemy’s skin, and legally change your name to Uriel Septim the Ugly.”

Weirdly these potions are nonetheless quite expensive

I've never seen a poison of slow turn a target invisible...

This is amazing. On re reading it-

The target is slowed for appx 1 minute

For half of that time the target is invisible

If the target is under level 11 it will try to run away while invisible and slow

It will also give that target magic back.

Do not use against mages.

What the FUCK. HOW DID YOU MANAGE THAT MUCH BULLSHIT ON ONE POTION JUST MAKE POTIONS OF FORTIFY CARRY LIKE EVERY OTHER ALCHEMY FARMER
