Formula Copying for Witch and Bloodhunter

[FoxenSocks]

Guidelines for learning concoctions are missing from the witch's grimoire and the bloodhunter's formula book. I think they were lost in the recent grimoire/spell book/formula book update. Please add them back when it's convenient. ^-^

There was a long, and quite circular, discussion about it on Discord, if you are interested in reading it: https://discord.com/channels/701706060440010753/708327512169775145/869698544234278953

The main points:

• Foxen thinks that witches should copy and prepare concoctions but not spells, which are already covered by rituals
• I think that if they prepare concoctions, they should also prepare spells, or they should prepare neither. Both for mechanical and for flavorful reasons.
• Foxen thinks that as they know concoctions, they should be able to follow an Alchemist's receipe. Science is replicable, so if you follow what is written, you get to the result.
• I think that, since witches use Wisdom for Alchemy, they only know what they've experienced. Copying isn't enough for them, they wouldn't be able to understand what is this citrate or oxide the formula talks about.
• Preparing concoctions but not spells is an asymmetrical benefit for the hybrid version.

Since they use wisdom for casting as well, how then could they replicate rituals?

I think also that one of the key features of concocting that distinguishes it from casting is the consistency. Therefore, copying formulas (not inventing them, but copying them) should be the same across all alchemical classes.

Regardless, I made the git issue as requested, and it is now up to Kryx to decide.

• Classes
  • The Blood Hunter learns alchemy similar to how a witchcrafter does so its alchemical ability is changed to Wisdom and it uses concoction recipes.

Patch

• Classes
  • Witchcrafter Grimoire now correctly allows you to add concoctions to it.
