Hello reader, and welcome to the great Oue Tyz's guide to alchemical ingredients! Within these pages you will find my life's work; a beginner's guide to alchemy, and a comprehensive list of the many ingredients that one may want to brew into some alchemical substance!
Keep in mind
Alchemy is dangerous— and not to be explored in depth for those averse to risk. Alchemy does not grant the same power as the original item may have possessed— unless incredibly lucky. A proper alchemist should always inspect an ingredient before making the callow decision to ingest it fearlessly. Check this guide or your own knowledge beforehand.Reading this guide
