Might and Magic VII: For Blood and Honor Hints

Alchemy

  • 1 of 5: Most of the potions that you can mix provide similar benefits to spells -- at least until you get up to the Grand Master (Black) potions.  And those come so late in the game and are so hard to mix with any frequency, that it may just be easier to buy the potions when you can find them.  Still, a Master level Alchemy skill gets you Divine Power, which replenishes large numbers of spell points at high strength, and Divine Cure, which may come in handy on occasion.  I wouldn't go out of my way to pick a Druid for the Grand Master Alchemy skill, but giving a Sorcerer enough skill points to reach Master level can help.
