Compounding is used to make medicine out of herbs and such. It is a very simple and useful skill to have, and simple operations of it can be preformed in the field. You can use plants, certain body parts, liquids, and salves when compounding.
Powdering: Requires a mortar and pestle, and can be done to anything solid. mixing these powders can create crude medicines and sometimes poisons that are easy to use
Salving: Creates salves from powder and just the right amounts of liquid. Creating salves requires a few flasks to create it in, and a jar to hold it in after its done. This is tricky stuff, and can't be preformed in the field.
Potions: Creates powerful potions through tricky procedures and the odd bit of magic. Potions can do a stunning variety of things, from simple healing to exploding and causing status effects. This is another tough one and cant be done in the field. Potions are very powerful and easy to use, but tend to be expensive. To create potions, you need a cauldron and a bottle to hold the finished product in
Pillary: Creates concentrated, medicinal pills from powder or salves and capsules. Easy, but time consuming, and it requires a jar to hold the finished pills in and enough capsules to hold the amount you wish to make. Pills are generally more powerful and easier to use than salves or powders.
When Compounding, you must state what ingredients you are going to use, and what you want to do to them.
Use of recipes, special equipment, and certain materials may raise or lower chance of success.
