Crimson Vase

The Crimson Vase represents a Strong Fire Symbol when used in alchemy. The Crimson Vase is a flower I was told about by a few villagers from a hamlet deep within the forests of the South. They spoke of a deep red, crimson even, with large, sweeping petals shaped like an elegant vase. As I set out to find this flower, I found it quite difficult but upon finding it I took notice of how it grew under a tree, almost clinging to it, but it also seemed to be perfectly placed within a beam of light that peered through the leaves. An interesting combination indeed, for I believe that this flower grows under smaller, younger trees since it appears to prefer to be close to the base of a tree, and in mildly direct sunlight. This combination fascinates me for it is quite hard to achieve this with the larger, more leafy trees. More research is required on where this plant is found, but picking the petals one by one seems to work quite well in extracting the real power from this flower. One must be careful not to tear or damage the petal, for I have learned first hand this will be detrimental to the potion. With that said, the Crimson Vase also seems warm to the touch, almost lovingly so. Keeping this mind, it would be almost vital in a powerful love potion, and a strong ingredient in potion involving the element of Fire, such as Alchemist’s Fire or a rage-inducing potion. This could also be an interesting addition to an envy potion, but more experimentation will be needed to confirm that. It is certain that the Crimson Vase is certainly a powerful addition for any emotion affecting potion in the domain of fire.
