Wyrmstone Mortar

This is a placeholder page for content that PD are actively working on.

Description

This apothecary's bowl is traditionally made of stone, but wooden, ceramic and metal examples exist. Purified with beggar's lye, and often decorated with trace amounts of silver or weltsilver, the mortar is often carved with the symbol of a snake biting it's own tail around the rim, or spiralling around the inside of the bowl. While it is often created along with a pestle, the magic resides in the mortar alone, and works whether the herbs are being prepared using a mortar or a piece of heavy stone.

A wyrmstone mortar usually bears the rune Xun, although older examples are often inscribed with Diras, the rune of secrets. Traditionally in Wintermark the apothecary carves or paints the runes Rhyv (representing the Imperial Roseweald) and Irremais (representing bladeroot) onto the pestle they use with the mortar.

Rules

• Form: Tool (Talisman)
• Effect: When you use the apothecary skill to create a potion you may substitute two drams of Imperial Roseweald for one dram of Bladeroot, or two drams of Bladeroot for one dram of Imperial Roseweald. You can only make this substitution once per preparation.
• Materials: Crafting a wyrmstone mortar requires seven measures of beggar's lye. It takes one month to make one of these items.
