Magic Research

Magic-Users of sufficient level may undertake magical research during downtime. All research activities require access to appropriate facilities and time.

Alchemist's Facility

An Alchemist's facility is required for potion brewing. It may be hired by the day or week in a city, or constructed as part of a Wizard's Tower. Daily cost and availability by settlement size are forthcoming.

Potion Brewing

Available at 7th level. Costs half the base price of the potion and takes 1 day per 50 sp in brewing cost. Requires an Alchemist's facility.

Potion Sickness

Brewing more than 100 days in a calendar year is taxing. Each additional day beyond 100 requires a Save vs. Poison or the Magic-User contracts Potion Sickness: −1 to all rolls for 1d6 weeks, cumulative with repeated failures.

Scroll Scribing

Available at 7th level. Costs 50 sp per spell level and requires one full day per spell level. There is always a 20% chance the scroll is non-functional; scribing for more than 30 consecutive days increases the failure chance by 20% per additional 30-day period.

Magic Item Recharging

Available at 7th level. Requires casting the appropriate spell on the item to restore a single charge.

Magic Item Creation

Content coming soon.

Available at 9th level. Full rules for crafting permanent magic items — including time, cost, required materials, and risk of failure — are forthcoming.
