So, partner's pushing me to really go further with my alchemy and not to like, toot my own horn, but I feel like I'm getting good at it?

But it's mostly been in like, remedies and homeopathic stuff. Nothing wrong with that, but I really only got partner to depend on aside from the books and classes that go over what I can make. Basically, I wanna narrow it down a little. So, this is mostly for the other monsters out there!

Whether you're done changing or not, what's been your symptoms? Like, partner was usually in a lot of pain so I made a lot of painkillers and he had some anxiety because of the animal traits kicking in, so I also made charms to like... calm him down and stuff. But I'm sure there's different stuff I could be focusing on, so I'd really super appreciate if you guys could let me know what else I could try and master?

Also, fellow witches! Any ideas from experience? I've been learning more healing stuff from Elliot, so I know I got that down (I'm getting there, anyway).

Thanks a bunch!

[Look, it's even legible and not in text speak! Yu totally made him do it, thank him.]

try asking natives too. they'd have the best insight into long lasting issues.

[dj_jiraiya]

oh yeah thats a good idea! thx!

[sylphid]

you could also try narrowing down the types of monsters or relief you're aiming for. general is fine but specialized would make your work even more effective.

[dj_jiraiya]

yeah but thats why im asking! i wanna see what the most common things are so i have an idea of what would be the most helpful to make.

[sylphid]

wouldn't the better way to figure it out is to see what you end up being best at?

[dj_jiraiya]

what do you mean?

im getting good at this and im learning healing spells too since i did that back home. so i think its pretty safe to say im only gonna get better at it the longer i do it.

["man can you make a horny-b-gone because that would be great" - things Shinji will never bring himself to type out.]

nothing was too painful for me. kind of ached when my legs were starting to get weird, and when the horns were growing, but other than that its been alright.

like you said, especially around full moons we kinda all get antsy in weird ways, so the calming stuff would probably be good, especially for being who aint bonded yet. i know before i got one, i splintered a bookcase once by headbutting it.

[....it was his first full moon, he didn't even have much in the way of changes yet.]

i dunno what else you could do. fighting the instincts tends to be a pretty bad thing for us, so i mostly just let 'em happen. its fucking annoying to get startled easy by like turnskins and shit, but whatever.

[sylphid]

which type is the most effective for people who use it? you might be good at making them but the results are a different thing right?

i can use a number of different weapons but i get the best results with my gunswords. something like that.

[sylphid]

boo.

[She's so helpful.]

[hoboagogo]

hilarious

i mean more the prey-instinct thing. i don't really worry about you eating me.

I don't know about it helping with pain, but maybe if there was something to make them less compelled to eat anything they find lying around that'd be a big help...

[dj_jiraiya]

im not making some cure-all. just medicine to help with whatever’s bothering them. maybe the scales or feathers coming in makes them itchy, bones shifting is painful, things like that.

thats all i did for partner when he was changing, just treated some of the symptoms i could to make things easier, thats all.

[hoboagogo]

wait

[how do you delete things hERE]

[dj_jiraiya]

dude if i figure it out youll be the first to know. partner still doesnt stop...

[sylphid]

yes?

[She fucking knows.]

[sylphid]

you don't need to worry about me when you like to chew on your own foot so much.

[dj_jiraiya]

its just to help make things easier, rather than fight it, so no worries about that! partner seemed to have an easier time when i gave him an anxiety charm and some painkillers last time.

wasnt 100% but he wasnt running away from me either.

[hoboagogo]

he was running away from you?

[he barely knows any chimeras, so like hell he knows what their instincts or changes are like.]

anyway falls coming up and if its anything like last year a bunch of fauns are gonna wanna start fighting or fucking it out. so if you got anything for that, it might be useful soon

[fiddlestick]

Same with the people I know...

It's really something. Though admittedly, it might have nothing to do with being monsters and it's just their personalities.

[hoboagogo]

[ugh... he's just going to...... end his humiliation here....]

[dj_jiraiya]

yu has been doin it since before this place. its definitely his personality.

not sure how someone would make medicine to stop that anyway. outside of making food taste bad, i guess? but thats a kinda science im pretty is way past my limit and would also seem kinda cruel if it ended up makin everything taste bad.

just gonna have to make sure they dont make themselves too sick. at least nausea is easy to figure out even without alchemy.

I suspect most Monsters would appreciate some sort of temporary appetite suppressant, and I've seen other Witches try to make lotions for Naga that are having shedding troubles.

[fiddlestick]

Yeah, I suppose it would be cruel to do something like that...

[SIGHS]

Well, then if you can come up with any potions that are more effective for food poisoning, that'd be great.

A++ alchemy user, highly recommended.

My biggest symptom was death.

And craving blood, I guess.
