Potion of Longevity (#6/31, #187/365) [EA:V2] (Artefact)
Since the tides of the time god Chronada washed over the world of Titan people have dreamed of immortality, of the ability to live forever, and the Potion of Longevity goes some way to achieving that goal. Also known as the Potion of Eternal Youth, the Potion of Youth, or the Youth Potion, it is a small elaborately carved vial containing a silvery liquid. When drunk, the imbiber of a Potion of Longevity can immediately reduce their age by 8-48 years, though care must be taken lest they revert completely back to being a mewling baby! The drinker of the potion will still have their normal chronological age, but their physical age will be reduced - for the effects of this and ageing in general see Gods of Titan, p. 110.
These potions are obviously very valuable; when the Allansian wizard Tulkinghorse discovered one in his old age, he used his second chance at life to found the magical style of Combat Magic (see Combat Companion, p.29), whilst Yaztromo of Darkwood Forest was rumoured to be working on brewing such a potion as well. There is one member of the Alasiyan Den of Thieves who claims to be 379 years old as they drink several doses of a Potion of Longevity daily, and the Sorcerer-Governor Gumpas has imprisoned them and attempted to extract the secret of the potion's manufacture. In the Old World, Karl-Heinz Matthaus, Alchemist-in-Residence at Castle Heydrich allegedly discovered the recipe below, with which he concocted Potions of Longevity to administer to Katarine Heydrich, who was supposedly 76 years old but looked far, far younger.
