OOC: well this is my first research thread... so well I have absolutely no clue as to what I am doing here. I am just going to make it up as I go along. No clue if the ingredients I am using will actually be allowed, and or if they make sense at all. But hey here's to trying. If someone wishes to join this thread please send me a PM or poke me in the cbox. Right... lets get on with it then.

Mab had a decently fruitful experience in the small library she had frequented earlier this week. It did not really provide her with the information she wanted but it did provide her with some base ideas she wanted to test out. The first idea she wanted to try was a concoction that would improve or heighten movement, basically increase someone’s physical speed. Mab realized she did not have much experience in the art of pharmacy but that did not stop the girl from trying. Having forked over some money the girl had been able to rent a workspace near St. Pancras station. This was awesome as it provided the girl with the equipment she needed to research her new drug.
Placing the herbs she had picked out in front of her Mab needed to do several things before she could actually start her procedure. Firstly, Mab decided to check each herb she had. They were low grade, but Mab did not dare to experiment with the higher grade herbs just yet. Secondly Mab wanted a plan of action. She wanted to try and figure out before hand what she would try to do. It would prevent stumbling somewhere later on. Thirdly she needed someone who would not mind being experimented on. Mab would do it herself, but then she would have a much harder time witnessing the outcome of said experiment. The third task did not matter right now. As she did not have any potion or pill to test. It could wait.
Mab scribbled down the ingredients she was going to use today. She would try to combine them in different ways.
- Base herbs
- Impure solvent
- Impure tablet
- Mana fragments
Mab first needed to decide if she were making it a pill or a potion. A pill was easily popped and would make it more useful, but it was also more difficult to make. Or so Mab believed. The down side of a pill was that it needed to be rather small, and would be easily lost during combat.
For her first experiment the girl would use a combination of three ingredients. A Mana fragment; an Impure tablet; and a Base herb.
Not sure what would happen if she combined these items Mab needed to figure out how she could refine a mana fragment first. Mab did not understand its properties. Could she grind it up and add it to her concoction? Mab just did not know. It was not something she was willing to try blind. It would probably be best to ask someone who knew about this stuff. But who could she ask? Mab did not know that many other pharmacists and she wasn’t really that close with any of them to ask them of favours. Besides... Mab did want to figure this out, without borrowing other peoples strength.
“Its probably best to just try it out then....”
Mab sighed, feeling it would be wasteful to just muddle about with the pricy ingredients. The girl felt that this was the only way to learn.
