Lucas made it back to his room and immediately pulled out Henrik's journal again.
He still had a few hours before he needed to sleep, and he wanted to prepare some basic potions for tomorrow's journey.
The alchemy lab in the academy basement was supposed to be accessible to students at all hours. It was one of the perks of being enrolled in an institution that wanted independent study.
Lucas gathered a few empty vials from his supplies and headed down.
The lab was mostly empty at this hour, with only two other students working at separate stations. Neither paid him any attention as he found an open workspace and began pulling ingredients from the communal stores.
Sulfur powder, charcoal, sugar. It was everything he needed for the basic smoke bombs.
The ingredients for the adhesive resin were also available, though he had to substitute crushed crab shell for the beetle carapace Henrik's recipe called for.
