Elixir of Resistance: Magic resistance
Alchemy, Herbal elixir
One of the Elixirs of Resistance, improving the drinker's saves against magic.
From the book
Every Elixir of Resistance grants the drinker +2 on saves against the particular kind of effect it is meant to ward off. This one, made from angelica and ash buds, 2 drs. of each, protects against magic.
Like all herbal elixirs, it resembles a potion with a much briefer effect: d6+4 minutes unless stated otherwise. It is brewed on a fluid ounce of clear water from fresh or dried herbs, with a mortar and pestle and a fire, over 1-4 hours; an alchemist needs only half the time. The chance of success is 90% plus 1% per level, never above 99%, and when one can be bought it costs 200 G.P. or more.
