Panacea
More potions, a potion cauldron for mixing, and swords you can tip with brew effects.
Two new effects (with more on the way)
| Effect | What it does | Where you find it |
|---|---|---|
| Vulnerability | You take 20% more damage per level. | Potion of the Coward and its variants, which gives you Speed but makes you frailer. |
| Frost Resistance | You don't freeze. Powder snow and other freezing damage can't hurt you and freeze buildup stops. | Frost Resistance potions. |
The potion cauldron
A place to mix potions together. It holds up to 3 layers, and the liquid color blends to show what's inside.
| What you do | What happens |
|---|---|
| Use a potion on a cauldron | Adds one layer (up to 3). The empty bottle is returned. |
| Use an empty glass bottle while not sneaking | Scoops one layer back out as a normal potion. |
| Sneak + use an empty bottle when 2-3 layers are inside | Mixes all layers together into a "Mixed Potion" that has every effect combined (with a small penalty to duration). |
| Use arrows on the mixed cauldron | Creates tipped arrows with the mixed effects. |
| Use any sword on the mixed cauldron | Tips the sword. After this it applies the mixed effects on hit until charges run out. |
How mixing works: when you combine, each effect keeps its strongest level but shares the duration. Mixing two 8-minute potions gives you each effect for about 4 minutes total, not 16.
Tipped swords
Dip any sword in a mixed cauldron to tip it. On each solid hit it applies all the stored effects to the target. Charges depend on how long the mixed potion lasts; short mixes give about 4 hits, long ones up to 32.
