Systematic Spell Research
Volume Seven: Additives and
Thickeners.
Additives and thickeners
are added to the inks right
as you are writing the
spell. It is done at this
stage, and not prepared
ahead of time because it
causes the ink to become
useless very quickly, and
| you can only get one spell
scribed before the ink goes
bad. Despite this, the
additives and thickeners
are very important, and
this system would not work
without it.
The making of additives is
so simple, that you may
find that some merchants
will sell them to you, so
|
|
that you will not have to
make it yourself.
Additives are used
according to how the target
of the spell would resist
the effect spell.
Ro's Ink Additive is for
fire.
E'ci's Ink Additive is for
cold.
Luclin's Ink Additive is
| for Magic and lightning.
Saryn's Ink Additive is for
Poison.
Bertoxxulous' Ink Additive
is for Disease.
Ink Additive of the
Nameless is for
irresistible spells. It
also works for spells that
heal and help, that one
would not want to resist.
Veeshan's Ink Additive and
|
|
Zebuxoruk's Ink Additive
also exist, but I have
found no use for them at
this time. I believe that
they are used for spells
that are not irresistible,
but that have an odd way of
being resisted.
You will need to make
thickeners yourself. They
are made by grinding gems
| into dust along with an
herb. You choose
thickeners according to the
general type of the spell
you are working with. Are
you making a spell that
directly damages its
target, or a spell that
heals the target? You will
make the thickeners in the
mortal and pestle section
of your spell research kit.
