-Distillation is conducted in small farmhouses, monastery workshops, village still-houses or secluded forest clearings, using simple pot stills made of copper, clay or iron. Heat is controlled over open fires, and cooling relies on running water or damp cloths, limiting precision. The character lacks the skill to produce spirits or extracts in large volume, refine them to higher purity or consistently replicate results. Without proper knowledge of proportions, timing and filtration, their distillate remains crude, suitable only for basic consumption or rough alchemical use.

 An amateur distiller can produce small batches of spirits or alchemical extracts, typically yielding one to three gallons of alcohol or a handful of vials of extract at a time. The process is slow, requiring several days of fermentation and distillation, with much of the liquid lost due to inefficiency. The result is crude and impure, often carrying unwanted residues, making it harsh to drink or unpredictable for alchemical use.

-This includes the ability to separate oils, purify liquids, and create basic tinctures, though the results lack refinement. The process is slow, requiring careful heat control and proper collection methods, but a character with this skill can produce functional distillates without reliance on a trained professional.

-The character understands how to assemble a still from available materials, but the efficiency of their operation is low, with much of the liquid lost in the process. Extracted alchemical substances lack purity and potency, making them unreliable for complex mixtures or delicate applications. Without proper refinement, distilled essences may carry impurities that dull their effects or introduce unintended side effects. A character at this level has no knowledge of advanced fractioning, aging, or the correction of flaws in the process.

-With regard to alcohol, the character can successfully produce strong spirits from grains, fruits, or other fermentable sources, though the result is coarse and unrefined. The distillation process removes water and increases alcohol content, but flavour, clarity, and consistency are not within the character’s control. The spirits produced are suitable for personal use or crude trade but are unlikely to match the quality of a trained distiller’s work. Without proper oversight, an amateur’s spirits may be harsh, volatile, or even hazardous if improper ingredients are used.
