Background On the Tome
Excerpt from Journal of Ku Kullin, April 18, 2000 speaking on a Moonglow lecture by the alchemist Lo:
"The last category of potion I will speak to you of today is the rare, and sometimes mythical potion. These are often made of such things as grow but once in a hundred, or even in a thousand years. There is the Ars Amor, a supposed love potion, made from a rare type of mandrake root. None of these have ever surfaced as far as research knows.
There are rumors, too, of a potion that changes the shape of the user. A Shapeshifter potion. This too, is but a myth as far as we know. Experts have named this mythic black potion, Animas Transeo. There have been legends of those who used it, but if it worked, perhaps they could no longer speak in their new form.
Of the many others, none have ever been found by members of the society, though it is rumored that ONE has been seen. It is supposed to have no known effect, which is the strangest part of this potion. Yet, if it can be made, surely some arcane use can be found for it. It was called Pennipotenti. An odd name, indeed. It sounds perhaps like a strength potion, or one to give added ability to the drinker, yet the story goes that it has no visible effect upon the drinker.
Once, a man named Arsinth Darkwood wrote a book about all the potions. He, himself, had tried some of the strange concoctions, according to legend, and it seems it had affected his sanity. The book, Alchemica Herbaria Cogniscenti, The knowledge of herbs in Alchemy, has long since vanished into obscurity."
