New potions
These potions are in the idea of the Interchange potion, and will always come out “perfect” in whatever form they are made. My justification for them are either because its something useful for players for one reason or another, or its something in the vein of the interchange potion.
The reagents added work slightly differently in that they are applied one at a time and the effects are changed depending on the amount added.
NameBlight potion
Name blight potions are made from a decently rare plant drop called a Lethe Myosotis (way less rare than the acrimony). When applied, those affected now have a button above their character’s name in the Info menu, which will prompt them to change their name. Every instance their name is used will be changed retroactively. Nothing else is changed.
The recipe is exactly 1 Myosotis and the catalyst of your choice
The reagent’s name Lethe Myosotis comes from the river Lethe which in mythology drinking from caused one to forget their past including their name, and myosotis colloquially known as “Forget-me-nots”, I think you get the idea.
PastBlight potion
Similar to the name blight potion this potion can be used to wipe your stats (the ones in the statistics menu), and criminal history. A bit useless but it serves as a way to completely wipe your statistics if you really want.
Its made using 2 Lethe Myosotis and the catalyst of your choice
why the Blight potions?
Its mostly for flavor reasons, incase you wanna repick your name or wipe your stats for whatever reason. Its why its not uber-rare, its entirely cosmetic and honestly this could be a product for purchase rather than a potion, though i’d prefer the latter.
Primary MindFlux Potion
This potion uses an extremely rare reagent found only while diving in the dark sea, called the warped cordyceps, its rarer than a prometheus acrimony
When used it allows the user to change their first magic. When they click the button now on their magic section of the info menu all of that magics spells are wiped and they are allowed to rechoose.
You create the potion with exactly 1 warped cordyceps, and the catalyst of your choice.
Secondary MindFlux Potion
Similar to the Primary MindFlux Potion
When used it allows the user to change their second magic. all spells are wiped and they are allowed to rechoose.
You create the potion with exactly 2 warped cordyceps, and the catalyst of your choice.
Tertiary MindFlux Potion
Similar to the prior MindFlux Potions
When used it allows the user to change their Third magic. all spells are wiped and they are allowed to rechoose.
You create the potion with exactly 3 warped cordyceps, and the catalyst of your choice.
why the MindFlux potions?
Look I’m gonna be frank. Being able to change your stats is no different than being able to change your magic, and we should be able to do both.
Arguably changing your magic is even more useless because your build could not even use any magic at all, which means it just changes your energy bar color. plus lost magics are coming which are replaceable.
There should be a potion that changes your magic, if we can change our entire build including our awakening which is a STORY IMPORTANT EVENT, we can change our mostly story inconsequential magic choice.
I still wanted to make changing your second and third magics harder, since that’s a choice you make after you better understand the game, so it requires more of the reagent.
For those who would say “why don’t you just make another slot”, sometimes it isn’t worth the effort of starting over just to experiment, and some would rather have their current character who holds all their money an items rather than make an entirely new slot, have an alt or trustworthy friend transfer all their items slowly, and grind from level 1 up just to have a different name.
Plus in a game where magics can be buffed or nerfed pretty bad, especially in regards to builds such as conjurer or warlock. It be nice to pick another one instead of having a dead slot.
