 :* '''Vitriol (green)''': an iron-infused [[Acid (substance)|acid]] used in medical treatments and alchemical applications. When administered correctly by a skilled physician, it can reduce the severity of infections affecting hormonal organs by 0–3 points. Its astringent and antiseptic properties make it useful in treating internal infections, though improper use can cause tissue damage. Green vitriol is also employed in dyeing, metallurgy and certain alchemical reactions.
-:* '''[[Wood Alcohol (remedy)|Wood alcohol]]''': also called wood spirit, this substance serves as an anti-freeze and solvent. It functions as an acid against molds and jellies, breaking down their structures on contact. While useful in preservation and alchemical applications, it is highly toxic if ingested or improperly handled.

 :* '''Agrimonia''': a natural flowering herb known for its medicinal and fertility-enhancing properties. When properly prepared and administered, it doubles the chance of pregnancy occurring.

 :* '''[[Blue Mass (remedy)|Blue mass]]'''.  A medicinal compound widely used in Europe and the Americas. It consists chiefly of finely ground elemental mercury mixed with a base, often honey, sugar or licorice, to form a pill or paste. This substance is part of the broader category of "mercurial medicines," used extensively to purge toxins and restore balance to the body's humours.  A treatment for madness and against charm spells, as it clenses the body and mind of impurities.

 :* '''[[Healing Salve (remedy)|Healing salve]]'''.  A potent, restorative substance widely used for its ability to mend wounds and restore vitality. When applied directly to an injury, the salve's soothing properties take effect almost immediately, stimulating the body’s natural healing processes. It is particularly effective in closing open wounds, preventing further blood loss and reducing the risk of infection. Each dose of Healing Salve restores 1-4 hit points, depending on the severity of the wound and the condition of the recipient. In addition to replenishing physical vitality, the salve helps knit torn flesh and seal cuts, leaving behind only faint scars in most cases.
-:* '''[[Quicksilver (substance)|Quicksilver]]''': a silvery wash that temporarily grants ordinary weapons the ability to affect creatures vulnerable only to silver. It is applied as a thin coating and remains effective for a short duration, usually about an hour, before wearing off. Quicksilver is commonly used on blades and arrowheads but can be applied to other weapons as well. It is expensive and must be handled carefully, as prolonged skin contact can cause mild poisoning. Alchemists produce it through a refining process that involves mercury and other rare ingredients.

When properly applied by a skilled physician, it can reduce the severity of eye infections by 0–3 points. Its antiseptic properties make it valuable in treating conditions that threaten vision, though improper use can cause irritation or damage. Blue vitriol is also used in dyeing, metalworking and as a reagent in various alchemical preparations.

 In my game, spellcasters do not need to use components when casting spells. However, creating scrolls still requires the original spell components as essential ingredients. The following is a list of those components:
 :* '''Bat (live)''': Required for [[Darkness, 15 ft. radius (spell)|darkness 15 ft. radius]] and [[Wizard Eye (spell)|wizard eye]] spells. Bats are associated with nocturnal vision and supernatural sight, making them a fitting ingredient for spells involving darkness and remote viewing.

 :* '''Cricket (live), of old age''': A component for the [[Magic Mouth (spell)|magic mouth]] and [[Sleep (spell)|sleep]] spells. Older crickets, known for their persistent chirping, symbolise the endurance of sound and the ability to lull creatures into rest.
@@ Line 135: / Line 137: @@
 :* '''Graveyard dirt''': Needed for the [[Feign Death (spell)|feign death]] spell. Dirt from a burial site strengthens the illusion of lifelessness.
-:* '''Holy symbol''': Needed for [[Detect Malevolence (spell)|detect molevolence]], [[Divination (sage study)|divination]], [[Feign Death (spell)|feign death]], [[Lower Water (spell)|lower water]], [[Slow Poison (spell)|slow poison]]. A silver holy symbol is needed for [[Prayer (spell)|prayer]].
