Naming tips

Making a potion sound bottled

Name what it does, or hides

A potion label sets expectations: Draught of Vigour restores, Widow's Tears poisons, the Mistveil Brew clouds the mind. Pair an effect with a form like Draught, Elixir or Brew.

Match the kind to the maker

A temple healer and a hedge witch brew very different bottles. Set the kind, Healing, Poison, Arcane, Alchemical or Witchbrew, so the name suits the shelf it sits on.

Refine, don't restart

Right brew, wrong bottle? Choose the name, hit Refine, and switch between Draught, Elixir and Brew while keeping the core.
