An alembic is an alchemical apparatus used to create potions in The Elder Scrolls series of video games.

According to Synnolian Tunifus and Anarenen, an Alembic, "[is] a glass container in which the arcane properties of natural and supernatural substances are distilled from their raw ingredients. The substances are infused, then heated until vapor is produced. The vapor then condenses in a separate container, precipitating the distilled elements with the desired magical properties.^[1]

Across all gamesEdit

In Oblivion, alembic's are used to decrease negative effects of alchemy ingredients (such as poison).

The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim swapped out the use of alchemical apparatuses, instead allowing potions to be created through stationary Alchemy Labs, found throughout the world map.
