R - SELF-GROWTH POTION

Alchemical Name: Self-Growth Potion

Market Region: All

Market Price: 1 Gold

Alchemical Rarity: Rare

Alchemical Information: A rare body-altering potion that is usually thick and pale brown. Self-Growth Potions force the body into a temporary enlarged state, expanding the drinker’s height, frame, muscle mass, and weight all at once. Because of how violently the body has to adjust, most alchemists warn against using it in tight spaces or while already injured. The user’s clothes grow with them while the potion is active, but only their clothes. Armor, weapons, equipment, bags, and carried items do not grow unless they have their own magical effect that allows it.

Alchemical Effect: Once consumed, the potion increases the user’s physical size for a short time.

• Increases the user’s physical size by 3x.

• The user’s weight scales with their new size.

• The user’s clothes grow with them for the duration.

• Lasts for 5 turns.

• The user gains the natural reach, mass, and presence of their larger body.

Alchemical Side Effects:

• Once the potion ends, the user returns to their normal size and suffers heavy body strain for 3 turns.

• During this strain, movement becomes difficult, painful, and slower than normal.

• The user may suffer sore muscles, joint pain, dizziness, and loss of balance after shrinking back down.

• Drinking another Self-Growth Potion before fully recovering can cause severe muscle tearing, bone strain, mana sickness, and temporary body instability.
