High Density Skin Potion
by Marc Zipper (Valcin)
Mechanics & Inner Workings
Upon drinking this potion, your skin hardens as the carbon density in your dermis increases and your aura compresses tightly around your body. This enhances your natural armor, making it harder to penetrate with blades or claws. However, the enhanced skin tension reduces your overall flexibility, making fine movements and dodges slightly slower.
Side effects:Your reflexes become slightly sluggish while the potion is active. Afterward, your skin may feel tight and sore. Stretching or a massage is recommended.
Overuse: After repeated use, joints may seize and require magical restoration or long-term treatment to restore full motion. Their are optional depending on much you have taken
