Choosing herbs to create an elixir? They had gone to great lengths to prepare an elixir formula and herbs of their own for this Alchemy Tournament. Yet, here was Myrddin stating that they had to choose from the herbs prepared for them.

There were exceptions too. One could also concoct an elixir at the Sage Rank’s Twentieth Grade by using an Eighteenth Grade herb. This could only happen at the hands of a professional alchemist. An Emperor Rank alchemist, for example, would certainly create an elixir that greatly surpassed the original level of the herbs used. That was because he would have precise control of the concoction process and could accurately use the power of
