+===== Making a Potion =====
+A Potion has a Narrative Effect or Narrative Type and a Game-Mechanics Effect or Mechanical Type.
+Different Narrative Effects are associated with different Main Ingredients, Base Prices and Enhance Prices.
+Your Mechanical Effect will determine what combination of Base Price, Enhance Price and/or Special Prices your potion costs.

+----
+**Key Tip:** Most Potions are [Base Price]+1+[Enhance Price (if needed)].  Some Mechanical Types do not require the enhance Price to be added.  Whether the +1 is one more of the Main Ingredient or one more of an Stat/Action based Special ingredient will also depend on Mechanical Type.  The Narrative Type will determine what Base Prices/Enhance Prices etc you are using to fill in the blanks
