Ortona AdventuresPotions are magic in a bottle, crafted from alchemical components and infused with Mana to grant their unique properties. Creating potions often requires rare or hazardous materials, making them difficult to craft and expensive to acquire. The most powerful potions demand the purest ingredients and must be infused by a Mage of significant skill to ensure stability. Potion-making is not without risk, as it involves trapping pure astral energy in glass, where even a minor mistake can have fatal outcomes. Despite the dangers, their usefulness and convenience make potions a lucrative product for those daring enough to concoct them.
Drinking a potion costs 5 Stamina and provokes an Attack of Opportunity if consumed while occupying a threatened square. A person can only benefit from one of each type of potion at a time. For instance, if someone drinks a Potion of Ability to boost their Strength by 1, they cannot gain the benefits of another Potion of Ability until the first potion’s effects expire. If they consume another potion of the same type, the second potion has no effect on the consumer. However, multiple potions of different types can be used simultaneously, such as a Potion of Growth and a Potion of Swiftness.
