Notes

• Alchemy
  • High wizard Balgrum hammerstone
  • Expects the homework on ethical alchemy by end of class
  • Alchemists and labs vs herbalists and nature (witches)
  • Alchemy
    • Formalized proper and respected field. May or may not have come out of witches cauldron brewing in huts in the forest. These two are not the same.
    • Witches still brew potions, they’re inconsistent, but you can make potions in mega bulk batches in a cauldron
    • Many resources used in labs are refined/rare, but traditionally they can be found in nature. Eyes of newt, tails of rat.
  • Not all herbalists are witches
  • Potion making like a witch can’t be written down easily to a formulary. Unknown why it can’t be written down.
  • Alchemy can be learned by anyone.
  • Herbalism is a subset of alchemy in gurps? Could be helpful.
