The POUR verb is used to move and measure liquids between containers. POUR serves the same function for liquids as the break and combine commands do for solids, namely reducing or increasing the number of parts in a single inventory "piece" of the liquid. When you POUR you are left with a reduced quantity in the originating container, and an increased quantity in the target container. In Alchemy the need for exact parts is crucial so use of this verb is very important to that system.

POUR
POUR [PART|HALF|MOST|ALL] <CONTAINER>
POUR [PART|HALF|MOST|ALL] <CONTAINER1> IN <CONTAINER2>
