A mobile and combat-capable alchemical manufactory that uses the friction of melee combat to brew a variety of useful potions. When it has built up enough heat to complete its synthesis, it will automatically dispense the finished potions to nearby allies and fall apart.

Useful Info

Walking alembics are Forgecraft constructs created by the Alistair's Walking Alembic spell. They can create clouds of poison and brew potions when punching enemies.

When the alembic punches someone, it creates one cloud at the target's tile and 3-4 clouds near the target. After the alembic does 4-6 attacks, it brews potions, dispenses them to the caster and their allies, and then falls apart.

Tips & Tricks

The alembic creates a lot of poisonous clouds, so if you have Ignite Poison, you can turn them into clouds of fire.

History

• Walking alembics were added in 0.33, as part of the Alistair's Walking Alembic spell.
