Thread Tracking: (Where one or more of the above threads are the focus)
- Taken from the Philtering lorepage.
Haena is at novice level, and so has a simple grasp of philtering. What she lacks in competence she makes up for in enthusiasm. Yet she is still learning, and as such finds it difficult to do anything to a good standard above the simplest of mixtures. Currently, although she has a questing mind, she is most comfortable with making simple tinctures. Haena is particularly good at making cough syrup (due to starting lore). She is always striving to increase her knowledge, and will look for rare/unusual plants wherever she can, even if she never does a good job of it.
Recipe Planning (OOC)
- IC recipe planning occurs in thread and in the PC Journals forum.

Current and Upcoming Projects
Currently, Haena is working on making a medicine for depression. However, as she is at novice level, she will not be able to successfully create one. This would not stop her, and she is determined to discover ingredients to cure 'sadness' or 'grief', looking for anecdotal evidence of such ingredients, or experimenting with plants to see what their effects are.
Eventually, Haena will be looking for a way to cure or heal infertility. Primarily a selfish being, Haena wants this cure for herself, but obviously wouldn't withhold it from others. It may be an impossible task, but she will damn well try.

At this level, a practitioner learns the basic mixing of substances. They gain a bit of knowledge about food preservation and liquid nutrition. Philterists receive a working knowledge of their tools, especially the glassware involved, that are required for adequately philter substances. They are able to turn living things like plants into tinctures, distillations, creams and salves. For example, they can take simple moss and mint - mix it with a bit of alcohol and beeswax to create a lovely lip balm that keeps the winter wind from chapping lips. They are able to produce one dose or vial of whatever they are philtering per session if the potion is combined with another skill (aka medicine). If they are doing a simple distillation or reduction, they are able to distill or reduce as much as they require so long as they are attentive to their philtering (as in keeping an eye on the stove or campfire to make sure the pot doesn't boil dry or the distillation doesn't become to hot and break flasks.
