An alchemist shapes a clay golem beside copper furnaces and a homunculus in a jar, with whales drifting past a sunken city beyond.

Cure Insanity

Alchemy, Herbal remedy

Heals any kind of mental illness.

From the book

This remedy cures mental illness of any kind. The maker must combine any three of these six plants: asarabaca, balm, black hellebore, calamint, fumitory and peony.

Herbal remedies are the simplest healing magic there is. The maker takes the choicest parts of a whole plant (fresh or dried herbs both work), rather than a weighed amount, and boils them in a fluid ounce of clear water in a small pot or bowl. The work takes 40 + 1-20 minutes with a 99% chance of success, and a ready-made remedy generally sells for about 100 G.P.
