====Concoction Skills====
The Concoction tree skills include several potions and powders that an alchemist can use/throw to both damage his enemies and strike them with debilitating debuffs. The Muriatic Acid, Aqua Vitae, Ichor and Alkahest skills can either be casted on the caster or an ally to add that type of damage to their weapons, or used to attack an enemy directly for greater damage and additional effects.
