Healing Potion
A Healing Potion restores 20 health, and only in battle: outside a fight it cannot be drunk. You drink it from your inventory, like food. Your health is 100, and it is refilled completely when any battle ends, so a potion is only ever for the fight you are in.
Herbert gives you 2 before the demo’s battle, in First… Sludge?. With alchemy you can make more: its runes are two red, and a single Stone has exactly that, so one Stone makes one potion at the Laboratory I. Two Clay or two Sand also work.
