Blacksmith's Potion
Blacksmith's Potion makes improving weapons and armor more effective for 30 seconds. The bonus applies to tempering at a grindstone or workbench. It comes in four strengths, from the Blacksmith's Potion up to the Blacksmith's Elixir. Apothecary merchants sell it, and it also turns up as loot. Alchemy can brew the same effect from ingredients.
