Alchemy Guide

The Alchemy System in the Realm of Saphriel can be as simple or as complex as the player would like it to be. Your character may start the journey with simple crafts, such as cough syrups or poultices, but with time and effort they may achieve alchemy on par with more grand and legendary objects or abilities of the world. Some examples of things created via alchemy can be found further below.

Keep in mind that if you would like to engage with our system of alchemy, you will get what you put into it. It takes time to advance in the skills and knowledge required, but those that explore this system in-depth will find it an immensely rewarding art.

The above example alchemy can and has been made with our various custom herbs and plants, animal parts, gems, and almost anything else one can think of! The easiest way to be introduced into alchemy is via an in-character teacher, someone who already has experience in the field and can thus guide your character. Alchemy requests count as advanced crafting submissions, and the below form will walk you through the information you need to provide for review. As always, if you have any questions please feel free to reach out in our discords General Inquiries channel or one of our staff team directly via direct message.

About Holy Magic

The magic of healing and light, the direct opposition and counter to dark magic. It is the only magic that requires prayer and faith to cast, and is thus intrinsically linked to Aderoth and their domains. Holy can not only control light through making brief blinding flashes and lighting darkened passages, but may condense light into a solid form for barriers, tools or temporary weapons with concentration and focus. All levels of holy magic are able to create Holy Water, a liquid that, like all aspects of holy magic, can hurt beings that are dark in nature, and even damage dark magic more than mundane means. It also can cure disease, poisons, heal injuries faster over a period of time, and bolster the physical capabilities of individuals, making them stronger, more durable, or faster. While seemingly versatile compared to many magics, many of its uses are connected in their purpose being to heal and protect, this being Aderoth’s domain. Holy is a heavily specialized magic; shields, curative blessings, and breaking dark magic’s curses will cost 1/20th of a normal spell when cast. All other applications and spells such as holy wings, stat-boosting blessings, blessing holy water or objects, and other purposes will cost the normal amount. The exhaustion of shields can also vary depending on the forces and impact taken, with greater impacts meaning more fatigue is felt. Additionally, using holy offensively against beings that aren’t dark in nature, such as clubbing someone with a holy shield, will cost twice as much as a normal spell. It is possible, but holy is a magic intended primarily to protect and heal.
