Spell Research extends the alchemy/spell system with the introduction of magical liquids (solutions) that are produced by breaking down ingredients, potions, or enchanted artifacts, using an alembic or a cauldron.

Alchemy

Alchemy can be a much quicker way to gain experience about spell archetypes, however, it notoriously requires a large amount of material.

Spell research alchemy is currently bugged in the main release (versions 1.1.11 or earlier). You can fix it by unzipping the patch contents into Game-files\mods\Wildlander\scripts replacing existing files.

Download Patch - If expired, check the Discord server in #patches-and-bugfixes

Getting Started

Tools needed:

• Alembic: Required for analyzing or mixing magical liquids. Breaks down small quantities of ingredients into liquids. Crafted at a forge (1x steel ingot + 5x building glass + Craftsmanship perk).
• Cauldron: Breaks down large quantities of ingredients, potions, and enchanted artifacts into magical liquids. Requires fuel to work. Crafted at a forge (8x iron ingots + Craftsmanship perk).

Both can be purchased from apothecaries or commissioned at smithies. Spell vendors sometimes carry alembics.

Obtaining materials:

You will need a large supply of ingredients or potions. The gardening system from Hearthfire is useful here.

Basic process:

1. Use your alembic → select “Dissolve Items”
2. Place ingredients, potions, or artifacts to dissolve
3. Alembics dissolve small amounts (field tools); use Cauldrons for larger quantities
4. Place Cauldron in inventory and use it to place it in front of you
5. Fuel with ingredients/potions that have “Weakness” effects
6. Note: Cauldrons lose fuel when moved

Processing liquids:

Once you have liquids, you can:

• Select “Analyze Liquids” to gain spell archetype and alchemy experience
• Select “Mix Ingredients” to combine 3 liquids into alchemical ingredients (elixirs)

See Elixirs section for recipes to mass-produce powerful potions

Analyzing liquids grants elemental archetype XP and alchemy XP.

Solutions Reference

There are many different kinds of liquids - one for each elemental archetype. Naming format: <name> sa <potency>

Solution Ranks

Solutions are categorized into six tiers based on potency.

Each can be upgraded or downgraded using an alembic (Mix ingredients menu):

• Upgrading: Mix 3 of the same kind to produce one stronger liquid
• Downgrading: Reduce each to 2 weaker liquids

Example: 3× Relleis sa Goria → 1× Relleis sa Baune

Ingredient Yield

Each ingredient produces two different strengths of solutions:

1. Solutions based on item effects
2. Solutions from ingredient base characteristics

Item Effects

• Solutions received depend on the archetype appearing on more than one item effect
• Strength calculation: Strength = ((Sum of effect Magnitudes / 10) + (Sum of effect Durations / 300))

Ingredient Base Characteristics

• Characteristics defined in import script (you always get all of these)
• Strength is hard-coded

Quantities

Number of solutions = 1 + random number of (your alchemy skill / 25)

Examples:

• 10 skill = 1 solution
• 26 skill = 1-2 solutions
• 51 skill = 2-3 solutions
• 76 skill = 2-4 solutions
• 100 skill = 2-5 solutions

You always get the same types when breaking down a material, just in differing quantities.

Potions

Solutions from potions are calculated based on potion effects:

• Solutions received depend on the archetype appearing in 1/2 of the potion effects
• Strength calculation: Strength = Round(((Sum of effect Magnitudes / (Total effects × 25)) + (Sum of effect Durations / (Total effects × 120))))

Example: Potion with 2 effects, one for 150 seconds at 10 magnitude, one at 150 seconds for 15 magnitude:

• Strength = round((25 / (2 × 25)) + (300s / (2 × 120))) = round(1.75) = 2 - Gravia strength solutions

Elixirs

There are six tiers of elixirs you can craft using the glass alembic.

To create an elixir of a specific tier with a specific effect, use the listed ingredients with the corresponding suffix.

Example: To create a ‘Mild Elixir’ with ‘Damage Magicka’ effect, use: Agea sa Gravia + Betaltadoon sa Gravia + Betayammis sa Gravia
