potionwith

Potionwith is a fictional term used in fantasy literature and role-playing contexts to describe a subclass of potions created by combining a base potion with an additional modifier referred to as a "with" component. The resulting potionwith is typically more versatile than the base potion, offering enhanced effects, altered durations, or new side effects depending on the specific with component used.

The word is a portmanteau of potion and with and is employed in fan-made glossaries and some game modules to indicate a recipe mechanic. It is not a standard term in real-world alchemy or in official game systems, but it has appeared in community wikis, fan guides, and informal rule sets to help explain customization of magical brews.

Preparation and mechanics commonly describe a potionwith as requiring two parts: a base potion chosen for the desired primary effect, and a with component—often an herb, mineral, or essences bundle—that modifies the outcome. The final properties depend on the rarity and compatibility of the with component, as well as the brewer’s skill and the order in which components are added.

Examples of potionwiths are varied and largely depend on the fictional setting. Typical names might include a potionwith of vigor, which extends vitality by adding a life-essence with component, or a potionwith of night sight, which grants temporary illumination and improved vision in darkness.
