Corporeal Alchemy Rubrics¶
Rules system: Sancturi homebrew (skill-based system of the Sancturi campaign, May 2017). Legacy design material, not canon for play.
Lore page: Alchemy and Witchcraft.
The recipe rubrics of Corporeal Alchemy, the alchemy of Corporeal reagents: potions, mists, coats and thrown mixtures, each with its delivery type and duration, effect, brewing DC and output, brew modifiers, ingredients by Fae realm and tier, equipment and time, and average price. The first rubric is complete with nineteen recipes, the second half filled with fourteen, the third a three-row stub. Delivery types (Imbibe, Ingest, Quaff, Mist, Contact, Weapon Coat) are defined on Alchemy and Witchcraft; the reagents and their prices are on Alchemical Reagents.
How to read the tables:
- [Q] is a multiplier in the recipe's numbers ([2Q], [8Q] hours); the rubrics do not define it.
- DC (output): the brewing DC, with the number of doses produced in brackets.
- Brew modifiers: MIX, DELICATE, REACTIVE, OVERCOOK and DIFFICULT, undefined in these documents.
- Ingredients: a count, In or Ex, a Fae realm and a tier (2x In WIND 1 is two tier-I In reagents of the Wind realm), with Filtered or Purified Sagewater as solvent.
- Average price: with a second figure in brackets that the rubrics do not explain.
