Cauldron Mastery

A playable draft of the core loop. Brew artefacts, wear the good ones in the circle, and let your alchemist fight on her own.

Rules in this draft

Reagents pay for brews. They come from the satchel that fills over time, the Rookery Raid and the Bazaar.
Quintessence pays for cauldron upgrades. It comes from distilling brews and the Rookery Raid.
The left half of the circle (hat, robe, boots, belt) gives Health. The right half (weapon, gloves, amulet, ring) gives Intelligence.
Every essence has two close-range staffs and two long-range wands. Staffs hit harder but only up close. Staff Damage only works with a staff, Wand Damage only with a wand.
Herbal to Ember brews roll one substat, Storm to Celestial roll two, out of thirteen.
Auto-brew never equips. It distills everything outside your filter and stops when a brew matches.

Timers run in seconds and the satchel fills far faster than in the game, so a session shows the whole loop.
All numbers are first-draft curves, not tuned balance.
