You study the instructions and begin to understand how crafting topical remedies is accomplished. Remedies crushed in a mortar with water and alcohol are often used to heal wounds and scars found externally. A few are also used to counter topical poisons, diseases and other maladies. Before crafting these mixtures you should consider having a mortar, pestle, sieve, water and alcohol, and possibly a fire or some other heat source available for the harder recipes. To begin crafting, turn the book to the correct chapter and page of the remedy being crafted. Read the page to figure out what types of prepared herbs are needed and then place them in the mortar. Study the chapter and kickoff the crafting process by crushing the herbs in the mortar with the pestle. Most recipes then require that water or alcohol be poured into the mortar before further crushing can be done. Various problems can arise during the crushing process that require actions or tools to solve such as particulate forming that requires pushing the unfinished mixture with a sieve to remove, or a odd color change that requires you to smell the mixture to discern how to proceed. These problems can always be ignored, but the quality of the mixture will suffer. At some point in the mixing process a catalyst will be required. Catalysts can come in several forms including metals, other plants, stone and bone. Identify these ingredients by appraising them carefully. To add the catalyst just put it into the mortar. You'll scrape off a piece to use and save the rest. Each catalyst offers a different set of base properties and some catalysts can be added multiple times to augment and change these properties. Once the catalyst is added you can finish up the remedy by continuing to crush the mixture until it is complete!
