Use a Mortar and Pestle with the listed ingredients. You do not need to buy a written recipe before mixing a combination you already know. Each potion recipe below consumes an Empty Flask; the food recipes do not require one.
For a condition rather than missing HP, check the cure and Void Mend rank. Resting and food also covers Disease, which can spend the food supply without restoring the affected hero.
Mix a known recipe
- Keep the Mortar and Pestle, the exact ingredients and an Empty Flask for a potion with the party.
- Use the Mortar and Pestle to open crafting and enter the recipe’s ingredient quantities.
- Press Craft, then check the resulting item before drinking or using it as another ingredient.
An Empty Flask is part of the recipe even when a conversion already uses two filled minor potions. Food uses the same crafting tool without that flask requirement. The two Cure Poison variants below use Red Mushroom or Spider Eye; Venom Sac belongs to the Poison recipe.

Before converting minor potions
Two Minor Mana Potions restore a combined 24–34 Mana. Converting them with another Empty Flask makes one Mana Potion restoring 17–25 Mana. Drinking potions does not consume a hero’s combat action, so the conversion is not an automatic improvement in restoration or turn economy.
Keep the two minor potions when total recovery is your priority. Compare the regular potion’s single-use amount with the hero’s missing Mana before spending the extra flask. Avoid using any recovery potion when most of its effect would be wasted at the resource cap.
Permanent Mana
Caerlin Essence adds 5 maximum Mana permanently. Patch 1.0.4 fixed a save-loading issue that lost multiple Essence and Dwarven Forgebrew effects. Update an older installation before consuming a collection of permanent buffs, then check the receiving hero’s maximum resource after saving and loading.
