Might and magic VIII: Potions Miscibility faq: By Paul E. Leicht 5/2000 (email:

General Notes: It doesnt matter what type of reagents you have as long as they match the required colors.
To turn a reagent into a potion pick up the reagent in your backpack and hold it over an empty bottle. Then right click.
Grey potions (aka catalysts) are only useful if they have a higher power than the potion they are mixed with. This is because
their function is to make the other potions power equal to the grey's power. The higher a person's skill in Alchemy the higher
an initial potion's power. Also your mastery of Alchemy skill indicates what type of potions you can make. If you do not have
the required level of mastery you will create an explosion that deals damage to the mixer and his equipment. Be warned!
A lot of combinations of potions not listed below create explosions. The rest make Catalyst Potions. If you come across a potion
that I dont have listed let me know by email and I will include your contribution and credit you in the next version of this faq.

An example of reverse engineering potions:
Pure Might Potion requires: 4 of any yellow + 2 of any red + 1 of any yellow.
pure might = (might boost + cure disease)
might boost = (heroism + cure poison)
heroism = (cure poison + cure wounds)
cure poison = (cure wounds + mana)
cure disease = (cure wounds + cure weakness)
so the recipe for a black Pure Might potion is as follows:
1. make 4 cure wound potions, 2 mana potions and a cure weakness potion
2. mix a cure wounds and a mana potion (result: cure poison)
3. mix another cure wounds and another mana potion (result: cure poison)
4. mix one of the cure poison potions with a cure wounds potion (result: heroism potion)
5. mix the resulting heroism potion with the other cure poison (result: might boost potion)
6. mix a cure wounds and a cure weakness potion (result: cure disease potion)
7. mix the might boost and the cure disease potion...
Wha La, a brand new Pure Might Potion is made!
