What's the worst thing a potion can do in your setting?

Turn you into something straight out of Junji Ito's stories.

lasts 2d6 hours

Transform you into something too twisted to move and unable to help itself, likely in unbearable pain, while you are far from civilization and there is no one to help you. Unable to save yourself or even take your own life to end your suffering, you are doomed to starve to death or die from exposure to the elements, presuming there are no animals around to make an easy meal out of you.

Luckily, this almost never happens. Most expired potions either do nothing or kill you fast.

>This is gonna be the longest and funnest combat ever!

Make you irresistible to elves.
Elves are yandere rapists that will torture you into obedience.

Sauce?

That's going to be painful.

Seconded.

Aren't you suppose to contact someone if it lasts longer than 4?

Bone Hurting Juice

No. That isn't a thing

No, the original

...

...

That's the ebin maymay. What's the comic?

vendant

Nothing.

Finding out that your health potion is just some kool-aide someone slapped a glow spell on so it would read as magic in the middle of combat is stressful as fuck.

Thanks, familia.

Thank you

Condemn your soul to eternal damnation.

Why the fuck can I still not find it? What am i missing?

Make you immune to physical pain. Which is mostly useful but might cause you to fail to realize you're injured. You're also pretty numb to most other sensation as well.

have you googled the name?

Restore full HP.
enemies can use them too

A potion where you have to roll for if you're healed, get sick or drunk, get harmed, or even have it do absolutely nothing.

Overflow when using potions causes immense sensations, ranging from pure pain (Str / Agi up ones) to surplus energy like mad (healing) to something akin to mushrooms (mana). The more overflow, the more intense it can be. Buff potions overflow when you use more then the upper limit your body can handle. Dependence is common, they wander the allys like crack addicts (Pot Heads are far worse in this setting). Pure potions are outlawed due to their sheer power instantly overflowing anyone that uses it.

Mixing Health and Mana potions result in aphrodisiac effect. The weakest variety can be used moderately safely, and nobles sometimes use it / sold as a "love potion". Stronger potions quickly get into the stuff of Slaanesh. Anything higher then a moderate will mindbreak hard, even moderates are pretty much guaranteed to cause immense dependence on it.

Yes, but it's not popping up with anything relevant even if I search for webcomics

user, that's not a webcomic
that's porn
search for just the name, you should get a dA account

>That pic
I know it's a porn comic and this governed by porn plot rules but somehow the whole time I was reading it all I could think was "why don't they just wear some sort of air filter around humans?"

I know right? If you're going to be living regularly around humans, in one of their cities, at least take some measure of precaution, especially if you know it'll make you late to work and loose sleep if you can't stop wanting to fuck everything not of your species.

It'd actually be really cool how they might go about this, even if it's something as crude as a censer filled with incense to block the human smells where a full-body suit might be strange.

"Setting-wise", most aliens in the comic vary in the strength of the effect. It's just that the teacher and the student are heavy cases 'cause porn plot rules.

Misread this as
>What's the worst thing a person can do in your setting?
And I was like, "man where the fuck do you even start" because lately I've been working on backstory stuff for a faction of sadistic cult motherfuckers and I've got a brain full of creative dismemberment and Geneva convention violations

I was just thinking basic breath mask would probably make the most sense.

Maybe not the worst, but definitely my favorite. Mana potions use the principle of imbuing certain metals on weapons and the like with magic, and attempts to make a solution that, is essentially sweetened herbal lead tea.

Just don't drink too much of it at once. I made a little summary about its discovery too, if you guys are interested.

sure

"Saturnin Goltz was a Decapole halfling alchemist who spent years trying to devise a concoction that would regain a magic user's mana near instantly. Using the ether's ability to "adhere" to certain heavy metals (such as Silversteel), he devised a potable solution that had a mix of Spirit Orchid petals, a concentrated lead powder, and honey (for taste), which proved itself as a definite success.

Additionally, Saturnin grew quickly aware of the effects of lead poisoning, as consuming copious amounts of the liquid killed him that same night. Nevertheless, the solution is occasionally available for sale in apothecaries, although the process is expensive and time consuming."

That's Viagra.

Maybe they don't want to because they're sluts

Reminds me of the chinese emperor who was sick. His vassals believed that certain metals had healing applications. Thus he kept a bit of metal in his pocket (I can't currently remember what it was)
over time he got poisoning, went mad and died

Poison you if you drink even a little more than the recommended dosage.

I remember that story. If I recall correctly, it was some something with mercury

"My only regret is not curing my boneitis!"

fucking spoonfeeding faggot

...

And further, the dumb sumbitch had a fucking river of the shit created around his tomb, which means it's a hazmat situation.

The character in question gets it really, really bad, apparently it's not as severe in most of her race.

That would kill you. The human body is stressed pretty bad during orgasm. Almost every major muscle tenses, the heart beats faster, nerves light up everywhere. After a few minutes you'd suffer from horrific cramps and you'd almost certainly go into cardiac arrest shortly afterwards, if you didn't have a seizure first.

Though women have that sort of wave orgasm that can last much, much longer, albeit with less intensity. That probably wouldn't be so bad. You would never get anything done, though.

Isn't there a medical condition where you're basically on such a hair trigger that just about any movement can trigger an orgasm?

It eats turns inside out in the stomach and eats you from the inside.

There's one where when you drink it, it transmutes the contents of your stomach into explosives and your torso bursts open from the force of the blast

Cursed Potion of Potions.

You drink the potion expecting it to conjure a random potion for you to drink in a pinch. Instead with a pop another potion of potions appears in your hand, compelling you to say "Ooo?" and drink it...causing the cycle to repeat.

Forever...or until you're dead.

And some other adventurer finds a useful looking potion unopened in a dead man's hand. Poor corpse, had it only been able to drink this potion, oh well, their loss is my gain, the person who finds it will think.

For a porn comic that isn't about my own magical realm, that was actually funny. Thanks user.

Necromancy. Every necromancy spell cast introduces a little bit of entropy into the universe, accelerating the heat death of the cosmos.

It's not cumulative. It's exponential. So every spell adds a little more than the last one, and the one before that, and the one before that.

Kill a Dragon

Turns you into a tree. That's it, until uncursed.
play roguelikes

You don't actually understand how entropy works, do you?

>that's not how science works
>in a fantasy game
Well meme'd.

Then don't use scientific terms. Make something like whenever necromancy is used, a star dies out in the sky, or whatever. Makes it for an actually interesting mysticism, instead of poorly handled concepts

>stop doing things that flare my autism
Okay then.

Ah, so every time you control water and see into the future you accelerate the end of the universe?

The point is, if you're going to use actual scientific terms, you should at least understand the concepts behind them.

The entire point of using those terms is to relate them to real life things. Describing them incorrectly just makes you look like an idiot.

And as said, just create new concepts that are more interesting.

Hell, I think there's some interesting merit into the idea that Necromancy isn't inherently evil like other systems often suggest, but it's usage has a pollution style effect that can cause immense damage and eventually end the world in some fashion or another(Perhaps the raw energy of undeath becomes strong enough to overpower natural life force and prevents new life from being born).

I dont get it

Me neither, but the girl's cute.

it's a dumb tumblr meme

Fair enough. I meant to say that its use causes an acceleration in the natural forces behind Heat Death, to a measurable amount.

What is the hekkin source

He wasn't sick.

Mercury was believed to have mystical properties due to its own strange form. Under normal circumstances the human body can't absorb the metal, but they mixed it with some other shit he ate (on his orders) so he wouldn't pass it. His idea was that by ingesting mercury he could somehow live forever.

He was only a little crazy before that, but he was a full blown loon before he died of mercury poisoning.

InCase Xenobiology

Create false feelings of love and lust.

"Love Potions" are considered date rape drugs. Having the recipe is grounds for Tabula Rasa/Blank Slate, which means your mind is wiped of magic, your spellbooks are burned or confiscated, and whatever years of life were devoted to magic go up in smoke while you're left wandering a highway with no idea what hit you.

Making or using them constitutes a "Fraude Diaboli" or crime of the devil. Which means every magus within teleportation distance of you is well within their rights to kill you if the Templars or Illuminati don't get to you first.

Fortunately, the ingredients and preparation rituals are so precise, the chances of making one on accident are nil. And no, you can't get punished just because you found a 'love potion' and tried to get it identified.

Spoon feed me user sama. I need that cartoon booty.

Why is "date rape" a bad thing in that culture/society?

Are you really talking about rape drug or is this just allusion to summoning archdevil
Because unless there's some really big bounty for getting someone with recipe I doubt anyone would give more than half of a shit

AKA life of a heroin addict.

Because it's rape. You're drugging someone to rape them.

>Her

user...

user, that is a her. I've read it

Truly you are amazing at appreciating men that look like women, user. Especially the women that look like women.

>Looked up source.
>That is NOT bone hurting juice!

Dammit, she was perfect before. What a waste. Absolute worst thing a potion can do right there.

Agreed, but what's the source? Search engines give me nothing on OP image.

You're a fucking pleb. Boobs are life.

vendant on deviantart.

>see his gallery

On second thought, I don't want the source.

I need only your strongest potions

>i like coffee
>THEREFORE, I MUST DROWN MYSELF IN COFFEE

Everything is good in moderation.

I think it's less about the raping and more about you essentially using a form of using a drug induced mind control on them.

Date raping is the least of your concerns with that substance, what you'd have to worry about is a rogue organizations using that stuff towards nefarious ends.

Make you immortal

This is the premise for Mentalism being the "Evil" magic instead of necromancy in my setting. An invasion of the body with magic is the same as regular violence, an invasion of the mind is a whole nother level of fucked up.

She goes back to normal.

There was a Chinese emperor that believed Mercury was the key to immortality.
So he took a bath in it and never died again

Firm, round boobs are life

Big oversized cow tits is underage teen fetish tier

For you.

This is not /a/, crossboarder scum.

>turning down potion-made big oversized firm round boobs
Pleb.

Witcher style

You gotta maintain at minimum an even boobs to hips/butt ratio. More hips/butt then boobs is preferable, but it's gotta be at least even. She's good with the expansion stuff right up until she breaks that, and then it's just awful.

Well, if I look at it, I'd say:
Cause mutations resulting in near immortality with the side-effect of unbearable chronic pain and slow cognitive degradation: sentencing you to potentially hundreds of years of intense suffering.

Also, not strictly speaking a potion, but a result of alchemy experiments was a substance that effectively killed agriculture on an entire continent, resulting in wide-spread famine and collapse of existing highly advanced civilization, reverting those who survived to pretty much stone-age style hunters, gatherers, nomads, thus setting up the entire premise of the settings.

I don't have the picture, but asses are the most popular fetish in primitive countries. All of Africa except Egypt, and all of Latin America are assfags. Boobs are a higher fetish, as shown by their popularity in the more advanced Asian countries and all of Europe.
