	Mastery of these recipes allows an apothecary to brew preparations valuable to ritual magicians versed in the [[~~Magical skills~~#~~Ritual Magic~~\|lore of Day]]. With one of these potions a ritualist can wield the magic of the [[Day Realm\|Day realm]] more effectively, but they also become more susceptible to the influence of that realm. Like the [[Magnum Opus]], preparation of these recipes involves a slightly more alchemical than herbal approach. Herbs are carefully measured out with mithril, silver and copper spoons, sublimed in [[Materials#Weltsilver\|weltsilver]] crucibles, and distilled and condensed to draw out their essential natures.		Mastery of these recipes allows an apothecary to brew preparations valuable to ritual magicians versed in the [[Magical_skills#Realm_Lore\|lore of Day]]. With one of these potions a ritualist can wield the magic of the [[Day Realm\|Day realm]] more effectively, but they also become more susceptible to the influence of that realm.

	Prior to the liberation of [[Reikos]] in 379YE, Imperial apothecaries who had mastered the Lambent Essences knew how to prepare both [[#Effulgent Primessence\|Effulgent Primessence]] and [[#Lucent Quintessence\|Lucent Quintessence]]. During the rout of the [[Druj]] [[orc\|orcs]] of the Stone Toad from the Highborn territory, many documents detailing the techniques of the Buruk Tepel fell into the hands of scouts, soldiers, and adventurers alike. Some of these notes originated not with the barbarians, but with Highborn scholars of the herbal arts - and the details of [[#Radiant Transcendence\|Radiant Transcendence]] found in those notes clearly originated with a so far unnamed apothecary from High Chalcis. The potion was clearly built on principles familiar to practitioners of the Lambent Essences, and appeared to possess only minor interest for the savage Buruk Tepel. Knowledge of how to brew this potent (if expensive) new elixir quickly spread through the Empire - partially due to the work of certain [[Navarr]] [[striding\|stridings]] with an interest in magic of the [[day magic\|Day realm]].
