“Warrior Potion, Magician Potion, and Archer Potions?” I asked in surprise.
“Oh?! You can Instant Create such amazing potions now?” Emeraldine asked.
“What? What are they for?” Asked Partner.
“They’re special Potions that can enhance certain stats and the performance of a certain Class archetype!” Said Emeraldine. “Although it is always better to drink all three to be honest. The bad thing is that drinking too many would make your mind go dizzy after a while and your body might break… So it is dangerous to overdose on it… It is often used by High Ranked Adventurers and found on more dangerous dungeons as treasure chest rewards. My Uncle knows how to make them but he never taught me the recipes, saying they were too advanced… Yet you can just instant create them…”
“Ahahah… I-I guess that’s a good thing, right?” I sighed.
Apparently, Warrior Potions boost Attack and Defense, Magician Potions Boost MP and Magic, and Archer Potions Boost Agility, Accuracy, and Dexterity. They’re like magic drugs for people to gain power from temporarily, the effects last roughly three to five minutes randomly, and it has a side effect, tiring the user right after that.
“It is! We could make a special Elixir mixing all three of them together to create a powerful Potion that boost all stats!” Emeraldine said. “Though that one is Unique Grade… I don’t know if I can make that yet.”
“It is pretty good anyways.” Said Partner.
“What ingredients do they need?” Asked Emeraldine.
“Hmm, let me see…” I said, checking the recipes.
“Warrior Potion needs… Blood from a Raging Monster, Furnace Ore, and Tickling Herb? Magician Potion needs Sage Herb, Magic Crystals, and other Magic-imbued Ores. And as for Archer Potions, we need Evergreen Sprouts, Bird-type Monster Eyes, and Blood from agile monsters…?” I said. “I don’t know if we’ve got everything. Sage Herb, Tickling Herb, and Evergreen Sprouts is certainly not something we’ve got.”
“My uncle used to grow these in the backyard… They’re certainly very rare herbs, we’ll have to look for them somewhere, though they don’t grow in these cold temperatures, so maybe it’ll be very difficult to find them.” Sighed Emeraldine.
“Yeah, but don’t worry, we’ll find them eventually and make them, and even merge the potions for your ultimate recipe you talked about! Cheer up. However, what’s more important right now is the bombs girls, look!” I quickly took all four bombs, placing them over the table. They looked rather amazing right now, glowing bright gold.

[Lightning Bomb (C G r a d e)]
A special one-time-use Magic Item made through advanced Alchemy. By converging materials imbued with the element of Lightning, Wind, and Light, a powerful spherical device can be created. Once a small amount of Mana is infused inside of them, they will explode in ten seconds.
The time in which they explode can be adjust through the infusion of Mana, with a time of up to a minute before exploding. When exploding, the item is automatically destroyed, but deals a large quantity of Light and Lightning Attribute Damage against a foe. The more Mana is infused, the larger the damage can be. However, too much Mana might make the bomb explode ahead of time.
Careful usage is required to handle this powerful and lethal item.
Traits: [Lethal Spark] [Electric Explosion] [Mana Bomb] [Time Bomb] [Holy Thunder]

“Ahh, it looks so great and it has the Traits I wanted too!” Emeraldine said happily. “We did it in our first try, sometimes it just comes with different Traits altogether, so this is very good.”
“Holy Thunder, is it?” Asked Partner.
“Yeah, that one.” Emeraldine said.
“Oooh!” Partner seemed surprised about our little creation. Its Traits were like those of the Fire Bomb but replacing fire for lightning, the last Trait was the most unique one.

[Holy Thunder]
Grants Holy Light-Attribute to the Bomb’s Lightning Element. Deals additional damage to beings weak to such element and ignores -50% of their total defense. Has a 50% chance to heal allies by creating a holy light domain. Can purify Undead.
—–
“It can even heal?!” I asked.
“Yeah but that might be lethal to you as an Undead, we’ll have to see how it works later.” Said Emeraldine.
“Anyways, I am kind of hungry…” Partner said, touching the bomb with the tip of her index finger, a small spark of lightning reached her.
S P A R K!
“U w a a h!”
She almost clumsily fell over the floor, but I caught her in time.
