Potions Minor Healing Vial -- Contained within this vial is a basic healing potion made from local herbs, which will mend most cuts, abrasions, and bruises within five minutes after being injested.

Heart Of Phoenix -- The potion contained within this vial glows a vibrant orange-red as though with the very essense of life itself. It is hard to come by and extremely expensive. If used on someone who has recently expired (within a few moments), it will revitalize them to allow for further healing
Focus Serum -- Favored by hunters, magicians, and other professions where focus and patience is a must. When taken by needle beneath the skin, this serum brings the world into utmost clarity and focus, allowing its user to devote full attention to one object at a time without distraction. Take care when using this potion as some users become so engrossed, they do not notice they are being robbed or even that their homes might be burning down around their ears!
Mortis Powder -- Makes its taker become still and quiet as a corpse when inhaled. Bloodflow slows, and one's pulse becomes near-nonexistant. Its effects last up to 24 hours before full vitality is restored. This is a must for stowaways, hiding amongst corpses on a battlefield, or otherwise falsifying one's own death. Take care, however, lest you wake up on a bonfire, in a grave, or at the bottom of a lake.

Banshee's Gift -- this potion's focal effects are on the taker's throat. Ingesting a single vial will give its taker the power to give a banshee-like shriek, deafening those in the immediate area and shattering glass. This is a wonderful deterrant for escapes in missions gone awry
Featherfall Potion -- Recommended for miners and climbers. When taken, this potion's effects last for up to a full day. When falling from high places, your body weight will lessen the further you plummet, rendering you as light as a feather with an equally light landing when you reach bottom.
