Potions3

A clear, red-tinged phial of restorative liquid. The academy bottles are labeled with neat copperplate and a professor's seal.

Heal 7 HP

A small glass phial filled with a pale green liquid. Sold with a tiny instruction slip showing proper dosage.

Neutralizes toxins and grants temporary resistance to ongoing poison effects for the duration of the antidotal action.

A viscous blue potion that smells faintly of sap and crushed ivy.

While under the potion's effect the drinker gains advantage on checks to climb and does not fall from a failed check for 1 hour.
Miscellaneous4

A leather roll full of burners, glass pipettes, retorts and labeled reagents. The academy's seal is embossed on the brass fittings.

A compact kit of pots, shears and drying cloths favored by field alchemists.

Well-worn and polished from use, the mortar bears faint scorch marks from past experiments.

Brass tubing and glass condensers fitted to a collapsible frame; carries a small academy inspection tag.

Miscellaneous3

Delicate but well-blown vials, homestanding and labeled with tiny graduation marks.

Cheap lamp oil sold in a stopper-sealed flask.

Small boxes of seals impressed with the academy sigil and stamped blanks for potion notes.

Miscellaneous2

A squat iron-banded phial marked with a clever pictogram of a flame. Heavy when full.

Deals minor fire damage on impact and may cause ongoing fire to flammable objects.

A small corked vial of clear, viscous liquid labelled with a warning sigil.

Miscellaneous5

A knobby, dark-brown root wrapped in waxed cloth and labeled with careful handwriting.

A tiny vial that faintly glows in moonlight, cork sealed and labeled 'Faerie Dew.'

When used as a reagent it can add a minor whimsical effect to potions at the DM's discretion.

Clear water in a blue-streaked phial; sold as purified for potionmaking.

A tiny phial containing ashy bronze powder said to come from a phoenix nest.

When used properly can increase a potion's potency or restore a potion ingredient's lost magic, at the GM's discretion.

A thimble of glittering dust sold in a sealed sachet and labeled in young handwriting.

Can introduce minor random effect when brewing; effects are GM-determined and should be benign for low-level parties.

Shop Atmosphere

The shopkeeper insists that every purchase be annotated into a battered ledger; depending on the shopkeeper's mood they sometimes offer a free scrap of experimental reagent. A small whiteboard by the counter lists this week's 'Required Ingredients for Advanced Brewing' which often includes impossible-sounding items the shopkeeper sends apprentices to 'procure' from the academy greenhouses.
