Elixirs     Elixirs were invented in the city of Arator during the Alacrian Golden Age. They are medicinal concoctions distilled from heavily engineered forms of plant life - species bred through Therbolgite-derived corallurgy, then combined with adamant at the cellular level to lend them their power. Though notoriously difficult to cultivate, Lur-Asko is full of specialized guilds that still breed the plants and produce their elixirs, as well as many hedgedoctors and corallurgists who harvest them from the wild during the course of adventuring (see the Study of Nature).

    Elixirs typically work by artificially accelerating or decelerating various systems within the body, and inflict some kind of negative side effect as a consequence. Many are also ineffective if you are too exhausted. Only organic characters can benefit from elixirs.

    Each elixir weighs 1 pound with 0 carry slots; they are typically sold and carried in small metal flasks well-suited for the adventuring lifestyle. To use an elixir in combat, you must use one hand to retrieve it from your inventory (usually a free action; see Combat) and drink it as a slowing major action. You cannot drink an elixir if you have performed a verbal action on the same turn.

    You can give an elixir to an incapacitated or paralyzed ally as a slowing major action as well; this follows the rules for touching an ally, and they receive the effects at the end of their next turn. Unfortunately, you receive 2 degrees of melee disadvantage against all enemies until your next turn.
