'''Note''': If this potion is brewed with Ghoulic Brewing, Herdic Brewing or Alchemical Body.  The process is slightly different.  

By Ghoulic Brewing it takes 1 month to brew before getting any results and only gaining your Dots in Thin Blood Alchemy amount of potions at the end before the ghoul is auto taped out of the potion and can’t make any more

By Herdic Brewing adds the risk of making it so a Herd can die on a 2 or a 1

By Alchemical Body you are treated as blood bonded to the potion before ever using it effects
:
: '''Effect:'''

:: On consumption of this potion, a kindred temporarily increases their Generation Background by one dot. If consumed by the Thin-Blooded, they become a Neonate for the duration of this potion. Drinking the potion is equivalent to a Downtime Action of feeding.

:: Each time this potion is consumed, it inflicts a Blood Bond on the drinker and they gain a Beast Trait as their beast fights back against the unnatural nature of the Ashe potion. Each time they attempt to feed, they must spend Willpower equivalent to the level of bond to drink blood rather than more of this potion. They follow the Blood Bond rules as if the Ashe potion is their regent, unable to speak poorly about Ashe, etc.

:: The Thin-Blooded gains the in-clan Disciplines of their Sire, and the standard full creation points, gaining the additional 2 points of creation points for these disciplines. They may expend XP to level these disciplines as a normal Neonate would, knowing they lose access to them when the potion effects end and the XP is refunded.

:: Portable Shade can be used to mitigate the effects of this power. If not used the same evening the potion is consumed, it automatically triggers on sunrise harming the drinker as above. This is an exception to the rule normally limiting a user to the effects of a single potion.

==== • Fang-Stinger ==== 

: '''Ingredients:''' Foxglove, Absinthe, Laundry Detergent (3 dots of Resources)

: '''Effect:'''

:: When injected into or ingested by a mortal, their blood carries Dagon’s Call. If a kindred then feeds on the mortal, they must test ''Mental + Willpower'' vs alchemists ''Mental + Thin-Blood Alchemy''. If they don’t succeed, they become inflicted by the standard application of Dagon’s Call.

: '''Duration:''' 30 minutes

==== • Discipline Channeling ==== 

: '''Ingredients:''' Ashe potion of Known Kindred

:: When drunk, the drinker must perform a static test of ''Mental + Thin-Blood Alchemy'' vs the source kindred’s ''Mental + Highest Discipline, its Elder Powers and Techniques''.

:: This potion must be mixed with human blood, and fed to a vampire in torpor. The alchemist makes a test of ''Mental + Thin Blood Alchemy'' vs ''Mental + Generation Dots'' of the torpored kindred. If successful, and the alchemist's pool is higher, it will awaken the kindred from torpor, but they may still need to test for hunger frenzy.

Those techniques will be lost when the potion duration ends and the XP refunded.

: '''Effect:'''

:: An alchemist mixes all the ingredients of a ritual with the adequate amount of their vitae and the vitae of a sorcerer who knows this ritual, typically 5 dots of blood from each. If the ritual requires a set amount of time spent to cast the ritual, this amount of time is instead spent brewing this potion. Any markings or seals needed are marked on the container of the Potion.

:: After the potion is brewed, the alchemist makes a test of ''Mental + Thin-Blood Alchemy'' vs the sorcerer’s ritual pool. If the test is successful, the ritual is bottled and can be activated immediately as if previously prepared when poured out.

:: This recipe may only bottle Thaumaturgy and Necromancy rituals, if they would make sense to work in this capacity.

: '''Duration:''' 2 Turns.

==== • Chemically-Induced Flashback ==== 

: '''Ingredients:''' Ashe potion of Known Kindred, and at least 1 personal object of that Kindred. May take downtimes to find a personal item from the known kindred.

: '''Effect:'''

:: This recipe converts a single Ashe potion into a Chemically-Induced Flashback, and does not follow the standard requirements of brewing a potion. It is simply an enhancement upon an existing potion where an alchemist melts down a personal object of the known kindred the ashes were sourced from for the potion and combines them, destroying the personal object.

:: On consumption of this potion, a kindred experiences the effects of a standard Ashe potion, and the additional effects listed below.

:: When consumed, a kindred must make a static test of Mental + Thin-Blood Alchemy or Mental + Willpower against the known kindred’s Mental + Dots in Generation. On a failure, this potion acts as a standard Ashe potion to the drinker with the gaining of an additional Beast Trait. On a success, the drinker may ask a single question they are seeking the answer to from the known kindred’s past.

:: After asking the question, the drinker will enter into a trance-like state as they experience a flashback as narrated by the storyteller of a memory from the known kindred that best answers the asked question. If the question is not applicable to the known kindred, the memory narrated is up to the storyteller’s choice. The flashback is as accurate as possible to the Storyteller’s knowledge, but may be slightly augmented by the actions taken of the drinker as they navigate the flashback in the shoes of the known kindred. They may make tests and use the known kindred’s powers as if they were them during the flashback, including the expenditure of Willpower and Frenzy checks.

:: The flashback lasts for an hour at most, and may end early if the drinker becomes distracted or takes damage, making it impossible to utilize during combat. If attacked, the drinker is immediately snapped out of the flashback.

:: After experiencing a flashback, the drinker must make a static test of Mental + Willpower vs a Difficulty Rating as determined by the Storyteller based on how disturbing, violent, heretical, or otherwise contradictory to the drinker's morality path the flashback was. On a failure, the drinker gains a Derangement that is thematically relevant of the known kindred for the remainder of the night.

:: After exiting a flashback, the drinker must immediately make a degeneration test if applicable. If the drinker entered Frenzy during the flashback, they must immediately retest for Frenzy after exiting.

: '''Duration:''' 1 Hour.

==== • Aura of Fire ==== 

: '''Ingredients:''' On-Demand Sunburn, Gunpowder, Gasoline (3 Resources)

: '''Effect:'''

:: When you drink this potion you must make a frenzy roll.

:: For the duration of this potion the drinker’s aura becomes infused with the aspect of fire, becoming painful to look at. Anyone who attempts to use a mental power against the drinker immediately takes two Unsoakable Aggravated Damage if they fail the test of the power.

:: Additionally, anyone who touches the drinker during the duration of this potion takes one Unsoakable Aggravated Damage as if hit by sunlight and must test for Fear Frenzy if applicable. Any Brawl based attacks against the drinker also trigger this if successful.

: '''Duration:''' 3 Turns.
