Tonics are brews made from herbs combined with the magic of the brewer.
There are two kinds: infusions and salves.
Basic tonics are called infusions and are made by dissolving the essence
of herbs in water. Decoctions heat the water to increase the tonic's
potency. Tinctures use alcohol to alter the properties of the tonic.
Brewed tonics are almost always different for different casters,
with the same ingredients sometimes producing very different
effects.
Many tonics produce effects which are not obtainable by any other
method.
Salves are thick, pungent brews intended to be smeared on the skin.
Since the residue stays on the skin for an extended period of time,
they are typically undispellable, and there are many salve effects
which cannot be obtained in any other way. Salves recipes remain
constant from brewer to brewer.
Both tonics and salves can be administered to called animals, and
are compatible with the 'autobrew' feature.
