Herbalism

Herbalism is the art of making concoctions (both harmful and useful) within witchcraft tradition. It requires an herbalism kit, as well as all the ingredients required by the formula.

All formulae work on similar principles and require at least one of the primary and secondary elements in addition to a base, and some souldust.

All ingredients have a value, ranging from one to six, which is required in the brewing of concoction.

To create a concoction,

Enchant

Enchanted items are either created by witches, or affected by the presence of a legendary monster; which is the sole source of soulstone. They are mostly found in wilderness, or in points of interest, although they can also be created by witches.

To enchant an object, roll an INT check. The result must be lower then INT score, otherwise the attempt fails. In case of a failure; the soulstone is wasted and the item is destroyed. Enchanting an item takes one full day, after which the witch requires a full day of rest. Once the blessing attempt is successful, roll three d66s to determine the power, the drawback, and the recharge requirement. Each enchanted item has 1d6 charges, which expire upon use.
