So, how many Frost Resistance Potions can I get you today?
Mechanics & Inner Workings
When consumed, this potion accelerates the user’s molecular activity, causing the body to radiate more heat internally. This increased warmth is tempered by traces of enchanted ice essence, creating a magical balance that wards off external cold while preventing internal overheating. This reduces the likelihood of suffering from frostbite, hypothermia, or cold-element magic damage.

- Mash blueberries and crush Yuki Tears into a fine paste.
- Prepare a bowl of ice water. Add the fruit mixture and animal fat (preferably from cold-dwelling beasts).
- Let the mixture steep overnight in a cold, shaded location.
- In the morning, enchant the snow with ice magic.
- Sprinkle the enchanted snow into the bowl and stir for 10 minutes.
- Bottle the cooled potion.
Snow quality matters. Snow collected from high-altitude peaks or magical tundras contains rare minerals that may boost the potion's effects. This makes crafting part skill, part experimentation—unless you’ve got a mentor or a solid alchemy manual.
