{| class="wikitable sortable"
|-
!Method !!Action !!Used on !!Tool
|-
|Pulverise ||Crush into powder. ||[[Rock|Minerals]] ||Hammer
|-
|Grind ||Crush into tiny (ground) bits. ||Mostly herbs ||Grinder, mortar and pestle
|-
|Press ||Squish to extract a liquid. ||Poison sac or gland ||Press, statue
|-
|Heat ||Macerate in high temperature to facilitate a chemical reaction. ||Liquids ||Firebox, iron pot, dome
|-
|Steep ||Soak to transfer the essence. ||Ground solid and liquid solvent (acid) ||Flasks, vase, saucepan, bucket
|-
|Distill ||Evaporate and then condense only some parts of the original liquid. ||Liquid ||Still, retort, hookah
|}

To mix solid ingredients they can be put in the same liquid container (those can be referred to as [[vessel]]s), unless steeping or heating is required.

To mix liquids you need to transfer the first liquid from its vessel to the vessel that is holding the second liquid.
*Pipettes are useful to transfer small exact quantities. There is a [[covert.items.poisons]] skill check to prevent poisoning yourself.

The following useful items can be purchased or found in or near poison labs:
*<teat/tiny/small/medium/large> pipette
*small <colour> glass vial
*large <colour> bottle

==Skill==
To recognize the herbs used for poison and gather them uses [[crafts.husbandry.plant.herbal]] and [[crafts.hunting.foraging]]. The skill [[adventuring.perception]] is also used for some components.

The skill [[covert.items.poisons]] is used during the making process to determine the potency of the produced poisons. The effectiveness and the duration of the poison is based on this skill at the time of making the poison.

==Delivery==

Assassin poisons are used is some [[inhume]] methods.

Created poisons can be delivered through ingestion (which is often fatal) or delivered by putting drops of poison in a poisoned dart, crossbow arrow, tlinga or throwing spike and hitting the victim with it.
