	In common with all [[Potion#Tonics\|tonics]], it is important to remember that you cannot be under the effect of more than one at a time. This means even though the Tonic of Surging Flame gives you a one-use ability, you cannot combine it with another tonic nor can you drink more than one at a time to try and stack uses of unstoppable.

This means even though the Tonic of Surging Flame gives you a one-use ability, you cannot combine it with another tonic nor can you drink more than one at a time to try and stack uses of unstoppable.

	When you use the ability granted by the Tonic of Surging Flame, you follow all the rules for using [[Heroic_skills#Unstoppable\|unstoppable]]. For example, if you plan to use the ability to regain lost hits, it still takes five seconds to drink the potion and five seconds to use the unstoppable skill for a total of ten seconds of appropriate roleplaying to regain three hits. This also means that the hits restored are ~~effected~~ by items such as [[Goldenfire Scale]], that you cannot use the ability while [[Calls#WEAKNESS\|weakened]] or [[Calls#PARALYSE\|paralysed]], and so on.</box></div>		When you use the ability granted by the Tonic of Surging Flame, you follow all the rules for using [[Heroic_skills#Unstoppable\|unstoppable]].

	This potent preparation provides a valuable healing benefit. At its most basic, it allows the drinker to "store up" the power to restore themselves with a few moments of concentration, releasing healing energy to flow through their bodies. More potently, if the drinker is mortally wounded, the elixir unlocks inside their body and suddenly fills them with renewed life and enthusiasm, healing their wounds and driving them back to their feet. If there is a downside it is that the nature of the preparation itself almost encourages the drinker to take foolhardy risks. The tonic dulls the sense of self-preservation that many consider so important to their continued survival. Some warriors, especially among the Freeborn, the Dawnish and the Steinr, welcome the feelings of self-assurance that the tonic of surging flame brings with it, and are driven to ever more courageous and glorious acts.

	The ~~tonics~~ of the ~~open sky~~ are useful preparations that slow bleeding and help mitigate injury. They allow a severely injured warrior finds it easier to endure their wounds, granting valuable time for a healer or chirurgeon to reach them. More than one veteran is alive today because of one of these preparations, and they are often referred to as ''elixirs of lifekeeping'' as a consequence.		The Tonics of the Open Sky are useful preparations that slow bleeding and help mitigate injury. They allow a severely injured warrior finds it easier to endure their wounds, granting valuable time for a healer or chirurgeon to reach them. More than one veteran is alive today because of one of these preparations, and they are often referred to as ''elixirs of lifekeeping'' as a consequence.

	The herbs used to brew these potions are dissolved in a small amount of alcohol. Unlike the harsher [[Tonics of the Deep Forest]], the tonics of the open sky require a much weaker solution and usually possess a more mellow flavour. The recipes originated in the [[The Brass Coast\|Brass Coast]] in pre-Imperial times. While they were initially a secret of the [[Riqueza]] family, the method of brewing these lifesaving tonics quickly spread to the other Freeborn families. In the decades before the formation of the Empire, Freeborn merchants engaged in a lucrative trade in selling them to foreign warriors. After the Brass Coast joined the Empire it was only a matter of time before the recipes became generally known. To pre-empt this, a family of the Riqueza simultaneously sold the formulae to no fewer than fourteen apothecaries in various nations, often through intermediaries, for quite astronomical sums of money. When challenged, their dhomiro simply shrugged, and said it was better to sell something while it still had value than to allow it to be stolen.
