brew potion <object list>


The brew potion skill is a mid- to low-level mage skill.  It allows the mage
to mix up herbs and spell components in a liquid container, producing a
mixture with magical effects.  The number of effects present is determined by
the number of ingredients used.  If a large number of ingredients are used and
the container is large enough, multiple doses of the potion may be brewed at
once.  Potions will eventually go bad, losing effectiveness and eventually
becoming utterly useless.

The object list may contain up to one liquid container, and any number of
herb or spell component items.  Food may also be used, but with lesser effect.
Any of the items involved may be either in the brewers inventory, or on the
ground.

If you brew a potion with adverse side effects, it is typically better to empty
it onto the ground instead of drinking it.  However, some brews are potent
enough to have an effect upon the ground they are poured on - be warned!

Note that the fundamental universal constants that govern the brewing of
potions tend to change as the mud expands, and that abrupt changes in what
brews what will occur from time to time.
