New skills: Chemistry/Alchemy/Apothecary

[DatOneGuy]

I am actually curious about why lava is a material. It's just rock. And as far as I know there are no magical/specially properties associated with it in any culture in the world except Hawai'i. Sulfur definately, lava, maybe not.

Mostly for super-heating things, then again I doubt anything could hold it.

Hmm, I'm not sure what would fit for heating things enough that would fit into alchemy and this time period the game is placed on.

Charcoal. We use it ingame for melting metal. Should pass for any use I can think of.

True I suppose, in this case we need better uses for it already.

chemistry, no; alchemy, yes.

alembics, rudimentary distillation, and such.

Yep. And workbenches on which to display them. Vials, too. Whiskey and brandy?
