Free Vials
Passive
You keep a supply of alchemicals at the ready.
At the start of every adventure, you get a number of unstable Alchemy Vials (B).
Any of these vials which are unused by the end of the adventure turn into water.
You may use an Alchemy Vial to choose and use any alchemical of the same or a lower grade than the vial from the alchemy list.
(Essentially, you go into every situation with some amount of alchemicals prepared, and you retroactively decide what was in each vial as the need arises.)
