Given the inability of any pure caster to hit any Vvrael, I wonder if it would be possible to use the alchemy system to create anti-mana wands that can hit them. I think that this would be a nice benefit to the alchemy system, and allow pures a chance to survive Vvarel, instead of having to run away. (not really an option in the scatter sometimes)
it could use an'ayanal leaves, oblivion quartzes (or any other rift gem, but those seem well suited), an alchemy reagent of some sort (could be new, maybe only drops in the Rift). I imagine boil, simmer, and channel.
Could even make different versions based on element (fire, air, water, earth), and require us to use lens to refract, if necessary.
Would be something cool for general alchemy masters.

and it would actually make alchemy somewhat worthwhile.

I'm for anything that makes alchemy more useful. I was just thinking about this actually. I had to do a tour of the lockers of Elanthia yesterday to find my alchemy supplies and make an inky black potion. It brought back such fond memories of staring into that cauldron for hours at a time.

>I'm not buying it. An magical wand that does anti-magic? Nope. - Geijon
Lost track of this, but the reason I specified the an'ayanal leaf as an ingredient for this formula is the anti-magic nature. It only grows in outdoor anti-magic rooms. Currently, only empaths really use it in alchemy for physical stat enhancers and a couple of other items, and I think it's a pretty neat herb that isn't getting enough use.
Similarly, I specified only alchemical actions that don't involve putting mana into the solution itself. (well, if I remember the messaging for boil and simmer right, anyway)
Add in a Rift gem, heck, could even add in an additional Rift herb or new alchemy drop of some sort.
I have no idea if this thing will fly, but it'd be a great addition.

stop that! - Allereli
Well, I suggested oblivion quartzes in the OP, and I sell those in my shop? :P
Yes, I know, it'd make it hard to generate a bunch of these at once.

If savants get released and they can hit Vvarel, that'd be interesting. (and maybe also cause riots by other pures)
In the meantime, though, anti-mana bolt wands!
I should talk to you about the stuff that can be made with an'ayanal leaf. It's used in essence of body, so it ends up being in greater strength crystals, greater constitution crystals, greater stamina regeneration crystals, etc.
