"Powdered white jade as the energy base, essence of tiger's testicles to stimulate inner fire and the blood of a healthy ox for mountain's strength. Drink up before it congeals!"

Overview

This page is a Lore Sheet for Tao Alchemy, a set of Magics that allow the brewing of alchemical potions and reagents.

Note that by their nature, alchemical preparations don't last long, so Xia can't be hoarding vast stocks of potions. Instead the preparations must be used immediately, and will have effects of limited duration.

Heaven's Blade Blessing

Powdered jade or silver dust draws Heaven's gaze, and yang-chi aligned oils sharpen the edge.

Healing Salves of Nourishing Earth

Honey, menstrual blood and dung draws in the nourishing power of Earth. Wounds close as yin chi restores health.
