Alchemy is a magic specialization skill that appears in The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind. The Alchemy discipline is the mastery of crafting potions from mundane substances, with intelligence being its governing attribute. Alchemy identifies magical properties in mundane substances. Substances are consumed directly, or prepared as potions to provide long-lasting benefits like healing and curing disease, water-walking, magical shielding, and fortifying bodily attributes.
