Yvonne's Guide to Alchemy

This was an in-game Alchemy book sold by Alchemy vendors like Jaxxtz in West Cabilis that was taken out of game. It should be fairly close to Letters of Jonas Vol. 6

Herbs, and their uses.

Many do not believe in the power of the herb, just as I have no tolerance for the ignorant. Here are some of the more common herbs and the uses I have found for them. Perhaps by testing things out for yourself you can come up with some useful concoctions.

Lucerne: Years ago my brother Piter very weak from practicing his summons. A little of this fixed him right up.

Sage Leaf: I have found this to be useful for keeping your wits about you. I put this in tea for the nighttime patrolling guards in Tox, keeps them awake.

Birthwart: Often given to babies with ear infections, this herb keeps the inner ear fluids in proper order.

Fenugreek: This herb has many uses. It sharpens reflexes and improves hand-eye coordination. I often give it to the young Shadow Knights when they are testing to become true seekers of the dark truth.

Maidenhair Fern: This little fern seems to have the most wonderful effects with ones emotions and I often use it for making my secret love potions.

Mandrake Root: This is a very potent herb. It is said that even the essence of magic itself shies away from the extract of this root.

Allspice: I have used this herb more times then you can imagine. Whenever I burn myself on the side of my cauldron I use Allspice extract to soothe the burn and quell the pain.

Benzoin: I don't know for sure but this herb is rumored to actually raise the body temperature and is used to treat frostbite.

Nightshade: Although poisonous by nature, if used correctly it can actually prevent the effects of most poisons.

Mullein: Many people hang this herb above their beds. It is believed to keep the minions of Bertoxxulous away.
