Fey Apothecary's Cauldron
A beautiful vessel in which to produce potions and poultices.
The cauldron bubbles and steams as its contents are rendered down into a glowing, viscous substance. A second glance reveals something new: there is no source of fire. Instead, flickering and shifting imagery of flames surrounds the lower third of its porcelain shape.
This small cauldron aids those who have an interest in herbalism by improving their ability to identify and process herbs. It also allows a user to break down herbs into Natural Essence, increasing their options for crafting. It is unknown who designed the item originally, but those who use the fey apothecary's cauldron often get the feeling that the Feywild may be its original home.
The cauldron is made of unblemished white porcelain with a thin, steel handle. It is covered with seemingly hand painted, annotated images of flora - magical or otherwise - which are replaced with fresh images each day. When the cauldron is activated, these images fade and are replaced with a circle of hand painted flames around the base which appear to flicker and move in shifting light.
One such cauldron is currently held by Remembers Jorgen after it was found in Sister Meggett's cottage on the outskirts of Dotting.

When placed above a fire, a command word may be spoken to activate the cauldrom. A herb placed into the vessel is rendered into pure, Natural Essence with a rarity matching that of the herb used. This process takes an hour and consumes the herb completely. This property of the cauldron can't be used again until the next dawn.
