About this episode

This episode explores the unpredictable nature of alchemy and potion-making in the context of the story 'The Stormwrought Shores'.

From A Glossary of the People, Places, and Events of Alkyon Alchemy—The study of potions and their effects. Alchemists use ingredients common and uncommon, botanical and mineral and biological, arcane and mundane. With specialized tools and techniques, a skilled practitioner can create potions with nearly any effect. Like any discipline of magic, however, alchemy is inherently unpredictable, and a potion is more than the sum of its parts—its ultimate effect might be entirely unexpected, by the alchemist or the potion's user. This week, on The Stormwrought Shores, Pest Control.
