Beauty
Alchemy, Herbal elixir
Briefly gives a woman otherworldly beauty.
From the book
Brewed from oleander and orchid, 2 drs. of each, this elixir lends any woman an unearthly beauty for a short while.
Herbal elixirs behave much like potions but wear off far sooner, lasting d6+4 minutes unless noted otherwise. Each starts from a fluid ounce of clear water, uses fresh or dried herbs, and needs a mortar and pestle and a fire. Brewing takes 1-4 hours (half that for an alchemist), with a 90% chance of success plus 1% per level of ability, to a maximum of 99%. Ready-made elixirs sell for at least 200 G.P.
