			Players can perform Alchemy Attempts, which are the equivalent to Rituals. This process takes 10 minutes to complete and results in a single dose of your concoction.

			To start a basic Alchemy Attempt, select an ingredient to work with. Ingredients have the term Effect in front of the description. When crafting, you can only have one of these base ingredients unless an ingredient says otherwise.

			Once you have your base ingredient, you can add other up to 3 other ingredients that have the Modifier term in front of the description. Total up the DC adjustment values for the ingredients to find the difficulty of the Alchemy attempt.

	Poison occupies a complex, paradoxical place in Zantaashi life—feared, revered, and thoroughly normalized. Herbalists are not an uncommon sight deep in the marshes, braving the wild dangers to find rare ingredients for new toxins. Even children are taught early to recognize the smell of common plant venoms and the color shifts that mark dangerous herbs.

			When multiple ''different'' Revector Effects would trigger at the same time (if, for instance, both potions have two Base Effects), randomly determine which Revector triggers.

	Revector Effects are often used by wealthy Zantaashi over the course of an expensive dinner party to demonstrate both their skill at poisoncraft and provide entertainment for their erudite or high-society guests. For large, important gatherings guests can expect to be imbibing several largely-harmless effects during the dishes of the evening, and often check in with an alchemist employed by the host's estate beforehand if they have concerns.

	When two potions combine, frequently when the second is given as an antidote to the first, the ingredients inside may react with each other to cause new, dramatic effects to take place.

When two potions combine, frequently when the second is given as an antidote to the first, the ingredients inside may react with each other to cause new, dramatic effects to take place. When an Uncommon or higher rarity ingredient is used in a brew and that potion is ingested during the effect of another potion, the second brew's '''Revector''' effect may trigger.

			Each ingredient has a Revector (though it takes a skilled herbalist to discover it). This denotes the Family of the ingredient that must be in the first potion to trigger the Revector effect. The type of effect is determined by the Family of the Base Effect and the Family and Rarity of the Revector. See the example in the next section.

			Common ingredients do not have new Revector effects. Instead, they act as antidotes, allowing the imbiber to make an immediate Constitution Save with advantage against the effect of their Revector.
