Whipperforth whips up resourceful relieving remedy

The first notable quality of this concoction is its viscous, syrup-like nature that has earned it the name of “healing lozenge.” This particular consistency allows it to treat a specific region rather than the body as a whole, contrasting with the effect of traditional healing potion ingestion. “It worked, the other ones didn’t. Needed more contact with the throat I think,” Whipperforth said.
The second impressive trait to note is the recipe’s use of natural and readily attainable ingredients. The key changes that Whipperforth disclosed included an increase in the ratio of crushed silverleaf, and an extract alternative to the already present mageroyal. While this may seem a humble feat, Maria Lumere, owner of Mage District’s “Alchemy Needs” asserts that this is what makes the new potion truly revolutionary as well as practical.
“Weaker mixes tend to become obsolete as soon as a more potent recipe is produced and adventurers can afford it. Most alchemists are attempting to meet this need by hunting after rare and magically infused ingredients that result in volatile products that aren’t well tested. Mister Whipperforth, on the other hand, developed a product with well known, efficient, and commonly found herbs with a low risk of negative side effects and even less chance for being made obsolete considering the product’s universal appeal. This practical thinking is what ingenuity is all about, in alchemy and in any profession,” Lumere said.
Calvin first created the potion to help a friend by the name of Xaeviar Denian, who “'hasn't been able to speak well, sometimes not at all, since he was born,” Whipperforth said. A few of its uses include healing a sore throat or returning a lost voice. The potion should be able to help with just about anything in the throat, in theory.
During an interview at Cathedral Square, Swarley Boompen tried the lozenge to soothe his own throat’s irritation to the strong cologne and perfumes during our city’s recent Love is in the Air festivities. “It works. My throat feels great!” Boompen said shortly after ingesting the thick solution, though he admitted the taste was less than pleasant.
That’s only to be to be expected for a potion in its early stages of testing, and Whipperforth himself expressed he would be open to another alchemist improving the recipe for that area. Despite the potion’s beginning progress in experimentation, it was assured that “The first subject didn’t die... and didn’t complain about pain,” said Whipperforth.
Calvin Whipperforth has trained as a priest for approximately ten years, serves as a medic in the Second Army, and self-described himself as knowing “remedial” enchanting in addition to his practice in alchemy.
Whipperforth’s favorite aspect of his work is “making sure that the soldiers don't get turned into piles of meat,” and he explained his interest in alchemy as “just another way to do healing.”
In light of the importance of his current role, Calvin shared that he would be open to selling the recipe if he finds someone interested in assuming responsibility for marketing the potion. “Suppose I could sell the recipe to a professional alchemist. I’m just a healer, not a businessman,” Whipperforth said. Calvin disclosed he has no other current projects for making his own potions, but he predicts he will create more as the need arises.
“Stay positive, and ... keep working hard. Afterall, it’s what we Gilneans do best,” said Whipperforth when asked to provide advice based on his own experiences. When asked if there is anything else he would ask of our readers Whipperforth answered, “I would just ask everyone to stay strong in these difficult times.”
