Alchemy Ingredients & Effects

The world of Oblivion is a treasure trove of alchemical ingredients, each possessing unique magical properties that can be harnessed to create potent potions. Whether you seek to heal grievous wounds, bolster your magical reserves, or inflict debilitating curses upon your foes, a thorough understanding of these ingredients and their effects is essential.

Every ingredient in Oblivion has up to four distinct magical effects. To discover these effects, you can either consume the ingredient (risking negative consequences) or use it in an alchemical apparatus with another ingredient whose effects you already know. When two ingredients share an effect, a potion with that effect will be created. This guide provides a comprehensive overview to aid your alchemical endeavors.
