Herbalism is a crafting skill. It allows a character to make a variety of potions, poultices, salves, balms, elixirs, and so forth, whenever raw ingredients and a recipe are at hand. Higher ranks allow the learning of more difficult recipes to produce particularly potent items. All mages start with one rank in this skill.
