Alchemy table
The Alchemy Table is a highly versatile part of your equipment as a sanguimancer. It can double ores, produce basic ingredients from other less-useful items, and even create Anointments!
The Alchemy Table crafts items using LP from a Soul Network. The Soul Network used and Tier of recipes available are determined by the Blood Orb inserted on the right side of the GUI.
The Alchemy Table is used to craft a handful of Blood Magic components, and provides alternate recipes for some vanilla items as well.
When looking at Alchemy Table recipes in this book (or in JEI), please hover over the arrow with an "LP" label to view Time, LP drain, and Tier information.
The Alchemy Table can be inserted into or extracted from using these buttons.
The Alchemy Table has a number of buttons on its right hand side. These are, in order, Down, Up, North, South, West, and East. To use them, first click on any slot in the Alchemy Table. (Here, we have selected the central 'finished item' slot, for demonstration.)
Next, click on one of these six buttons to toggle whether or not the Alchemy Table should allow Hoppers, pipes, or other such external interference from this face.
To return to the table's normal function, simply click the slot again to deselect it. The icon displayed in the slot shows whether it is accepting inputs or providing outputs. In the example picture, we are allowing pipes to take from our central slot only on the Down slot, and any attempts to extract items from other sides will not succeed.
The Alchemy Table will tell you when something is wrong.
The two most common reasons for a recipe to not work in the Alchemy Table are as follows:
- Orb Error: Either there is no Blood Orb present in the relevant slot, or the Orb you are trying to use is not a high enough level for this recipe.
- Soul Network Error: The orb is of a valid level, but either you have not bound it to yourself (right click while holding it), or your Soul Network does not have enough LP in it.
The following pages document a number of recipes currently available for the Alchemy Table.
The Lava and Water Sigils are not consumed in either of these recipes. What's more, the Water Sigil can be used in place of a Water Bucket in any Alchemy Table Recipe
Anointments are essentially potions for your tools, weapons, and even your Charges. By holding right click with the anointment in one hand, it will be applied to the item in your other hand, if possible. Not all anointments work on all equipment!
Unlike potions, anointments aren't timed; rather, they wear off a bit at a time as your tool or weapon is used.
A sturdy Vial that can contain otherwise uncontainable mixtures.
The basics of Potion Crafting are known to all and sundry throughout the land. Even common Clerics and Witches have a firm grasp of the basics of brewing - take a handful of semi-rare ingredients, mix them together in the correct proportions, and consume the result (while holding your nose, if needed), or throw it at your foes.
The addition of Life Essence and some frankly ingenious Sanguimancy has allowed you to turbocharge the practice, however.
By imbuing ordinary Glass Bottles with your powers, you are able to hold far more than a single swig of liquid, and with the use of various Catalysts you have figured out how to combine multiple effects in one flask without them muddying together and cancelling out.
A sturdy Flask that is far more capacious than any measly bottle!
Of course, a bottle, no matter how advanced, is all but useless without something to fill it.
Alongside all the usual well known Effects such as Water Breathing, Regeneration, or Night Vision, we have also perfected a variety of other, more specialised recipes, such as Flight, Obsidian Cloak, or even Passive. These potions and many more are documented further on in the book.
Once you have used up any kind of Alchemy Flask, simply wash out and refill it with water, to get a fresh new flask ready for use.
Flasks also have their equivalent to _Splash _and Lingering Potions.
You may recall me mentioning the ability to make multiple effects in a single Flask. Luckily, this process couldn't be easier. Simply brew up a potion, and use the resulting Flask in place of your empty Flask in the second brewing. For example, if you made a Flask of Bounce, then took that flask and used it as an ingredient in a flask of Night Vision, you'd end up with an 8-dose Flask that gives you Bounce and Night Vision with every swig!
Next up, we have Catalysts. There are a few kinds of catalyst, with a few different effects, so let's start off with the simplest three - Simple Catalyst, Small Power Catalyst, and Small Lengthening Catalyst. Of these, the first is the most straightforward - it provides a base to almost every Alchemical Potion, much as Nether Wart does for standard Potions.
A good base for nearly any effect. Stock up, you'll want a lot of these.
Power Catalysts increase the potency of the topmost Effect inside the Flask, while decreasing the duration of the effect. It is roughly analogous to Glowstone in more standard potions. If the most recently applied effect cannot accept the catalyst, it will attempt to boost the second topmost, and so on.
_Lengthening Catalysts _increase the duration of the topmost effect inside the Flask. It is roughly analogous to Redstone in more standard potions. If the most recently applied effect cannot accept the catalyst, it will attempt to boost the second topmost, and so on.
Combinational Catalysts are a little more niche - they take two defined effects and synthesise a third, related effect from them. For example, a Flask with Suspended and Levitation would, when brewed with this catalyst, produce a Flask of Flight.
Filling Agents can be used to refresh the contents of a Flask, at the cost of losing some of the effects - the Weak Filling Agent can only preserve the topmost effect on the Flask. If you wish to preserve a different effect, consider using the Simple Cycling Catalyst.
The Cycling Catalyst can be used to alter the order of effects inside the Flask, and thus change which effect will be altered by another Catalyst or Agent.
If the potions you've crafted so far just aren't enough for you, then perhaps you need to do a little exploring? With some Glow berries, some Cobbled Deepslate and a sprinkling of $(l:bloodmagic:dungeons/demonite)Hellforged Sand, you can boost the duration and power of your flasks significantly.
A more potent base for more potent catalysts.
The Standard Lengthening Catalyst will increase the duration of the topmost effect from 3:00 to 21:20. Multiply that by the 8 doses each flask provides, and that's a heck of a long time!
The Standard Power Catalyst is a souped-up version of the Small Power Catalyst, allowing you to get up to level III potion effects in your flask, while reducing the duration to just 45 seconds per dose.

Many different effects exist, so in the interests of organisation, you’ve tried to sort them by their source.
