(Spoilers) Lucas - Sequence Potions

Sequence 9 - Apprentice:

Spirituality: The user's innate Spirituality is enhanced upon consuming the potion. This also grants a foundational understanding of magic, witchcraft, divination, ritual-based practices, and the unseen. The knowledge is intuitive - felt rather than learned.

Perfect Recall: The user gains the ability to perfectly remember any event, text, or piece of information they have encountered. Even the most minute details can be recalled with clarity and precision.

Veil Sight: Grants the ability to pierce illusions and see through falsehoods. Additionally, the user can sense lingering magical residue such as wards, enchantments, or charms.

Potion Ingredients:

Water collected at twilight, from a crossroad

Blue Mallow Petals

Fragment of Obsidian Polished under Moonlight

Supplementary Materials:

3 grams of hemlock

9 drops of frog blood

7 grams of quartz dust

Truth(s):

Illusion is the teacher of insight - Question appearances, do not accept reality blindly. Sometimes lies reveal more than the truth.

Respect the unknown - The wise student learns through reverence, not conquest.

...

Sequence 8 – The Harlequin:

Danger Sense: Instinctively perceives imminent threats or hostile intent, allowing for rapid reaction and evasive precision.

Spatial Awareness: A heightened sense of one's surroundings - distance, movement, positioning.

Enhanced Precision: Exceptional control over fine motor movements. Whether hurling a dagger or threading a needle, their hands are steady, and their focus razor-sharp.

Physical Enhancement: Upon advancing, the Harlequin gains near-total control over their body. Their agility rivals that of master acrobats, with precise muscle control, balanced movement, and even the ability to manipulate facial expressions with intent and clarity.

Note:

Veil Sight (Enhanced): Now refined enough to read subtle emotional states and fluctuations in others, offering insight beneath the surface.

Potion Ingredients:

Feather of a shrike

Shaved bark from an olive tree

A theater mask, Melpomene, once used in a play

Supplementary Materials:

Thread of silver

4 grams of Crushed tourmaline dust

60 milliliters of Purified Water

A Joker playing card

Truth(s):

Observe the audience - Read the room. The Harlequin's power lies not in control, but in insight, when to act, when to feign, when to fall silent. Always watch.

Madness - The Harlequin wears a smile not as deception, but as defiance. In grief, in fear, in chaos, they grin. Not to mock, but to endure. Their joy is armor, their laughter a mask worn until truth can be spoken.

...

Sequence 7 -Trickster:

Illusion Creation: They can influence the environment, creating illusions with colors, sounds, and smells that closely resemble reality, allowing them to pass off the false as true.

Illusory Doppelgangers: Can craft short-lived illusions of himself to distract or confuse enemies. These are mist-based and disappear upon contact but respond to threats and mimic his movement patterns.

Spirit Manipulation: They possess ways to interfere with the Spiritual Intuition of a target. Causes a target to disregard their intuition or be given a false one.

Potion Ingredients:

Feather of a magpie

Mist touched by magic

Supplementary Materials:

10 ml of moonlit water

Shards of a mirror

Truth(s):

The greatest trick is never in falsehood, but in truth - True Tricksters do not spin fantasy, they reveal reality in such a way that the audience questions what they thought they understood. Misdirection is a tool, but revelation is the true art.

...

Sequence Six - Mentalist:

Telekinesis -  Can manipulate small objects or light objects via a small force

Mind-Reading - Can read the surface thoughts of those who lock eyes with you

Divination - Can use tarot cards/coins to scry the future of oneself

Potion Ingredients:

An object given by one who sees fate

Supplementary Materials:

Seven Silver Drachmas

Crushed blue chalcedony

Truth(s):

A Mentalist shapes the reality of others, weaving what could be into what must be.

A Mentalist uncovers the hidden, the lost, the unspoken, not by force, but by drawing truth from the depths of other souls.

A Mentalist leaves a mark upon the unknown, an anchor driven into the shifting mist of fate and memory.
