You can choose any 1st-level common alchemical items for your formula book, but the list below contains a good selection of starter formulas. A beginner's book with these formulas called The Fundamentals of Alchemy has become popular among mainstream alchemists by staying away from controversial topics like mutagens, though it has drawn criticism from fringe alchemists for guiding fledgling alchemists away from more innovative experiments. Alchemical Item Formulas: Alchemist's fire, frost vial, cheetah's elixir, elixir of life, glue bomb, smoke ball; Bomber Acid flask, bottled lightning; Chirurgeon Antidote, antiplague; Mutagenist Bestial mutagen, cognitive mutagen; Toxicologist Arsenic, giant centipede venom
