Alchemy (Skyrim)

An alchemist can create magical potions and deadly poisons.

Alchemy has been confirmed to be a returning skill in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. Alchemy will be one of the 18 skills and will fall under The Thief play-style. As such, it acts as The Thief's crafting skill as opposed to The Warrior's Smithing and The Mage's Enchanting.

Alchemy governs the ability of the player to make more potent potions and poisons. This is now accomplished at alchemy stations or labs instead of needing to carry the necessary equipment as in previous games. Each possible ingredient in Skyrim has been confirmed to have four possible properties. These are unknown until the player either individually eats an ingredient or successfully mixes a potion/poison.
