Alchemy Workshop

Endless results from ingredients and mana

Alchemy Workshop isn't about following recipes. Trim, dry, extract, or enhance the same healing herb and it becomes a completely different ingredient. What you put in the cauldron, and how much mana you drip in at each stage, decides whether you get a healing potion, a bomb, or a hidden alchemy no one has ever seen.

The balance of three principles

Every ingredient and mana stone carries three principles: Soulflame, Spiritflow, and Corpus. Each product has a hidden balance point, and it changes every playthrough. Read the notes your failures leave behind, watch the triangle chart, and find the balance yourself.

Four stages of the Great Work

Nigredo, Albedo, Citrinitas, Rubedo. Break mana stones into drops and add them one at a time as the ritual moves through each stage. A drop can't be taken back, and the cauldron may resonate, boil over, or spill. Read the forecast and decide how much risk to take.

Run your shop

Sell to customers and read the market. Demand shifts with the seasons, and flooding the market with one product drives its price down.

Take requests from the guild, adventurers, nobles, and the royal court. Some come with hidden conditions.

Send adventurers on expeditions across 10 regions for rare ingredients, and hear their stories as your bond grows.

Upgrade cauldrons and processing facilities, hire staff, and research new techniques.

Stay in the red for a week and your shop goes bankrupt, with a report on what went wrong.
