Alchemy Alchemy as a field, exists somewhere between magic and science, as it involves the mixing of various ingredients and altering them using magic. A very useful and fairly common practice, alchemy can be used to create a myriad of different potions, which can have a varying number of different effects, ranging from complex healing potions, to concoctions designed to treat diseases, enhance virility and increase fertility, or even grant temporary effects such as enhanced strength, reflexes, or night vision, although the consumption of too many potions in a short amount of time, can have adverse effects and may even lead to death by potion overdose. Alchemy can also be used for much darker, although forbidden purposes, as there are methods to create potions which influence those who drink them and are, effectively, a means of mind control. In addition, alchemists can distill deadly poisons which are very difficult to treat by normal means and require a tailored alchemical antidote to cure. An alchemist can use almost anything as ingredients, from plants, to metals.
