Attempts at Alchemy

Slightly chuckling at the young man's eagerness to learn, Mystia responded, "First, let me explain the entire process of concocting a potion."

"Similar to how forging an item goes through multiple steps, the entire alchemical process has multiple steps as well." Ignoring the slight embarrassment that appeared on Valyr's face, Mystia sported a serious expression as she began her explanation.

"To sum it up, the alchemical process is comprised of three general steps: removing the impurities from the ingredients, extracting the essence from the ingredients, then combining those extracted essences to obtain a specific effect."
