Advanced Mental Acuity [WASC2020]

Potions of Sagadorm

There are very limited "magical potions" in Sagadorm. Most are medicinals based on herbs, plants, and animal parts. Many experiments have been made to check the medicinal properties of the petrified remains of blessed animals. If carefully slaughtered, a blessed animlas could be harvested alive before it is petrified. However, research found that the process was NOT anymore effective than reconstituting petrified remains. The practice of harvesting from living blessed animals was badded by the The Fairy Council as barberic and inhumane.

Creation of Potions

Potions, elixers, can be made by suspending powdered petrified remains into a liqueid, water or oil. Then the mixture can be enhanced by infusion magical power from a core back into the petrified remains.
The infusion of magic reconstitues the power back into the original oraganic material. So people are not eating rocks, but protien, cartilidge, etc. (organic matter).
If the core of the original animal is used to reconstitute it's own flesh, the potion is more powerful. However any elemental core may be use.
The blessed animals fall into the four elemental categories: Fire, Earth, Water, and Air. Petrified remains from an "air" animal could only be reconstituted by an "air" core. Ideally, the same animal species.

Uses of Potions

The potions are used for many different ailments or to induce different condtions.

• Earth Potions: relate to bones
• Fire Potions: relate to blood
• Water Potions: relate to muscles
• Air Potions: related to organs

More specific potions can be used to address more specific issues through the use of other materials or petrified remains.
