This skill allows you to use alchemical equipment and ingredients to create a variety of binaries (usually a powder and a liquid) that react to produce an effect when mixed. Alchemical substances need to be prepared carefully, requiring time, equipment and materials. Creating an alchemical substance takes at least a few hours of work in a workspace with at least some basic tools and requires ingredients worth half the price of the final item. Alchemical substances can be produced singly or in batches. If you fail a check to produce an alchemical substance, the materials are used up. If you fail by three or more points something slightly bad happens, such as ruining an item of equipment or clothing. If you fail by six or more points something bad happens, which might result in either a wound or an obvious and negative cosmetic effect. Some binaries (such as the head and light) ones can be reprocessed to separate them for later re-use.
Trivial Tasks
Create a binary that provides clear and even light for several hours when combined, creates a cloud of smoke for a few minutes or ignites.
Average Tasks
Create a binary that when combined provides warmth or heat, a choking cloud of smoke or a weak acid that eats through soft materials over a few minutes.
Challenging Tasks
Create a binary that when combined creates a strong acid that eats through a few cm of almost any material over the course of a few minutes, gives off a brilliant light for a few minutes.
