Name: Ironskin Potions Description: Ironskin Potions are unique potions consisting of a slightly viscous cloudy yellow liquid with swirls of gold in it, brewed with the effect of hardening the user's skin similar to an effect of temporarily callusing it. When drunk, the user will begin to feel their skin harden over the course of around 20 seconds, being much more resistant to cuts and other trauma, lasting for about an hour before it wears off and returns to normal. Ironskin Potions are brewed in a specific way, of course involving Starsugar in its creation. Starsugar is mixed into a solvent of water along with metallic fluoridated impervium salts, the reaction causing the liquid to turn yellow and a cloudy precipitate of Prisilic perfluorate (shake before drinking). Then, various types of plants such as the Durai nut are crushed and added to the solution, mixed and heated to give it its final effect. Abilities: [*] Hardens the skin for 1 hour, resisting cuts and other trauma. Limitations: [*] Takes 20 seconds to harden (and unharden after the effects wear off) [*] Only works on organics. [*] Stiffens the skin a little which may throw off new users. [*] Really heavy use can cause osteoporosis. How does it work: The Starsugar in the potion enhances greatly the effects of the herbs and crushed nuts, allowing the potion when drunk to begin to harden the skin through a process similar to callusing, the melanin of the skin growing duller and darker similar to a gray color in the process due to the colorations of the impervium salts. Flavor text: Ironskin Potions were created long ago by Vampyr alchemists after the cultivation of the Durai nut in La'megoth, a type of unique hard and gray thick vine that sprouted gray nuts that are very difficult to crack, with a shell similar to stone.
