Alchemists use essences to create magical +items for them to use. + +They can be either found on the floor while exploring the dungeon, or +extracted from other magical items the alchemist finds during his +adventures. + +To create an artifact, the alchemist will first have to have learnt the +Artifact Creation ability. This ability costs 70 skill points (yes, 70, +it's a very powerful ability!). And you need an alchemy skill of at least +40, plus INT and WIS at 35 (thats 18/170 in non-linear form). +To create the artifact, the alchemist will have to sacrifice 10 hit points, +and an amount of magic essence similar to his skill in alchemy. The +alchemist then allows the artifact to gain experience, and when it has +enough, uses that experience to add abilities to the artifact. The +alchemist can allow the artifact to continue to gain experience, thus +keeping open the option to add more abilities later. This requires a +similar amount of magic essence, but does not require the sacrifice of +more hit points. + +Note that the experience you gain is divided among the artifacts that you +have as well as going to yourself, so you will gain levels more slowly when +empowering artifacts. Also, the artifact only gets 60% of the experience. +So killing a creature worth 20xp would gain 10 for you, and 6 for the +artifact. + +You can also modify existing artifacts when you attain skill level 50. Also +at skill level 50 you will gain the ability to make temporary artifacts, +which don't require the complex empowerments that regular items require, +but also vanish after awhile. + +You cannot give an artifact an ability unless you have *Identified* an +artifact which has that ability. + +For every four levels gained in the alchemy skill, the alchemist learns +about objects of level (skill level)/4, starting by learning about level 1 +objects at skill level 0. (actually 1, but who's counting?) + +At skill level 5 you gain the ability to make ego items - but watch it! +Your base failure rate will be 90%, and won't be 0% until you reach skill +level 50. Adding gold will increase the chances of success in direct +proportion to the value of the item you are trying to create. Note that +this results in automatic success when the item you are trying to create +happens to pick up a curse in the process. + +At skill level 5 you also gain knowledge of some basic ego item recipes. +These are: Acidic, Shocking, Fiery, Frozen, Venomous, and Chaotic weapons, +Resist Fire armour, and light sources of Fearlessness. + +At skill level 10 you will gain knowledge of digging ego items, if you have +selected the option "always generate very unusual rooms" (ironman_rooms). + +At skill level 15 you can create ego wands, staves, rings, etc. + +At skill level 25 you gain the ability to empower double ego items. + +At skill level 50 you gain the ability to create temporary artifacts, which +don't require any exotic ingredients beyond a single corpse of any type. + +Between skill levels 25 and 50, you will steadily gain the ability to set +more and more flags. + +To finalise an artifact, you "P"ower it, and select the powers you want. +Powers are divided into the following six categories: +*****essences.txt*03[Stats, Sustains, Luck, Speed, Vision, etc.] +*****essences.txt*04[Misc.
