I finally got around to testing necromantic regeneration potions.

There are three different potions:


Minor necromantic regeneration potion - a thin murky greenish-black concoction - heals all level 1 wounds.

Lesser necromantic regeneration potion - a thick murky greenish-black concoction - heals all level 1 and level 2 wounds.

Greater necromantic regeneration potion - a viscous murky greenish-black concoction - heals all wounds, regardless of level.

Unlike healing with herbs, you do not need a separate pour for each wound. For example, if a critter has two level 1 wounds, a single pour of the minor potion will heal both of them. Or if a critter has many wounds of varying severity, a single pour of a greater potion will heal all of them.

Pour on the critter to activate. There is no RT from pouring.
You pour your greenish-black concoction on an animated silver-eyed krolvin spiritualist. The liquid spills over the corpse, seeping into open gashes and bruises, and is slowly absorbed into its body.
As the spiritualist's wounds begin to close, it looks quite a bit better.

Based on the messaging, I assume it restores health in addition to healing visible wounds. The spiritualist in my example took enough damage during the tests that it would have died if the potions were not restoring health.

According to Krakiipedia (http://www.krakiipedia.org/wiki/Necromantic_regeneration_potion), there are level restrictions on the use of the potions.

As you can see from the recipes on Krakiipedia, these are not easy potions. Each potion has seven uses. Weighing the relative values of prevention and cure, the smart strategy is to put as many protective spells on your animate as possible, including spells from scrolls. Even so, these potions could come in handy on special occasions.

Unfortunately, all three potions have the same adjective ("get green concoction").

Do they work on animated people? That remains to be tested, unless one of you has already tried it. I would guess not.

soulstone wand will heal critter animates but not player animates. i assume your hypothesis is correct that the potions would work the same.

I'm assuming these are made using alchemy?

No. I still have several doses of each left, if you want to sing to them. That would disclose the level restrictions?

Yes.

Note for alchemists: The troll blood in the recipe is the same as for making animation crystals. Collect it with a vial. Put the vial in the cauldron when making the recipe. Remember to put the vial away afterward so that you will have an empty flask (from the water) in one hand and the other hand empty. I suspect that any troll blood is equally useful in the recipe. I used blood from the trolls in the jungle in River's Rest.

I'm not sure, hopefully :) I think I'm seeing Snowpiercer after work tonight so I probably won't be around until 10ish edt. I updated the Krakii page

I just noticed something else from my logs. The second line from the pour of each potion is different, probably indicating the amount of health points restored.

Minor Necromantic Regeneration Potion:
You pour your greenish-black concoction on an animated silver-eyed krolvin spiritualist. The liquid spills over the corpse, seeping into open gashes and bruises, and is slowly absorbed into its body.
As the spiritualist's wounds begin to close, it looks a little better.


Lesser Necromantic Regeneration Potion:
You pour your greenish-black concoction on an animated silver-eyed krolvin spiritualist. The liquid spills over the corpse, seeping into open gashes and bruises, and is slowly absorbed into its body.
As the spiritualist's wounds begin to close, it looks quite a bit better.


Greater Necromantic Regeneration Potion:
You pour your greenish-black concoction on an animated silver-eyed krolvin spiritualist. The liquid spills over the corpse, seeping into open gashes and bruises, and is slowly absorbed into its body.
As the spiritualist's wounds begin to close, it looks a lot better.


Finally, you don't have to worry about wasting a pour if the animate is not inuured.
You begin to pour your greenish-black concoction on an animated silver-eyed krolvin spiritualist, but you notice it is uninjured.
