Pros and Cons of being
an Alchemist
By Talmage Cresap
There are
some good things about being an alchemist. Being an alchemist is all about
making potions, enchanting things and creating all the magical things that
sorcerers, witches, wizards, warlocks and necromancers use and selling them to
sorcerers, witches, wizards, warlocks and necromancers. Most alchemists are
very rich. First of all some of the most powerful magic users in all times weren’t
able to enchant all their stuff, which is why they hired alchemists to make all
their stuff. And they were rich! An alchemist is a kind of enchanter. It is the
kind that makes the more potion-like things. For example, they can put weird
lotion on dragon eggs and they can help make wands. After that you’ll need to
set up a stall somewhere in a place where a lot of magic users go. Put up a
sign that says: “Magic Things for Sale !”
And hopefully you’ll make a good profit (unless everybody’s already super
powerful and already got all their stuff)!
There is a
downside to being an alchemist. It takes a lot of work to find the ingredients
for the potions, such as phoenix feathers, dragon blood (very powerful),
serpent venom, demon blood and all kinds of crazy things. Anyway, as I was
saying, it is hard to find the stuff. First off, it’s nearly impossible to get
dragon blood. First you would have to go to the realms of dragons, second you
would have to cut a hole in the dragon’s skin, and third you have to suck out
the dragon’s blood with a syringe—really hard to do! And serpent venom is also
hard because it’s going to try to disintegrate you when you are trying to get
its venom, unless you are a reptile sorcerer. (I should have mentioned that about
dragons as well). To get phoenix feathers, first thing you need is super-fire
proof armor, and then you need to go to the realm of the dragons, because they
live in the realm of dragons also. So when you go in, the first thing you need
is a fire-proof armor and fire-proof club, but it might not work. You may need
to just pluck out its feathers while it’s trying to disintegrate you. An easier
ingredient to find is magic herbs. First you have to defeat a man-eating plant
of death and take out its herbs. Another ingredient that you might have to get
is the spike of a manticore (A winged lion, with a human face that shoots
spikes out of its tail.) You are supposed to jump on his tail, tame him with a
magic charm, or offer him some stuff and he’ll just give you one. Another thing
you’ll need is the tail of a chimera. (A chimera is a weird lion thing, with a
goat head on its back and a snake for a tail. The tail is a very powerful
thing, I don’t know why. Anyway, it spits fire all over the place.) First of
all you’ll just need to cut it off. You might also need that fire-proof armor,
again. Next, you will need the claws and feathers of a griffin. I don’t know
why, but you’ll need them for something. And they make great necklaces. That’s
difficult because a griffin is a super powerful beast. They are a combination
of an eagle or a hawk and a lion. They can be really cute sometimes as babies
and sometimes as adults, but you are after the tough-looking adult kind. They’re
tough! Next: the horn of the Minotaur. If you play your cards right, he might
just break off his horn and give it to you, because it can grow it back. But,
usually you have to fight in a death-dual to the death, well not to the death,
but you have to prove to him that you are strong and that you like cute things,
like puppies and kittens. And finally: The Eye of the Cyclops. You are going to
have to kill it. He’s not going to give it to you, because it’s his eye! And
those are the cons about being an alchemist--getting the ingredients.
