The Recipe
Inputs: Venom-Bladder, Poison-Culture, Glass, the still Output: the vial set, the dose, the address in a bottle Time: a month for the vial set, a season for the master's grade
The distillation is the venom door's craft: the delivery has to be held, measured, and given an address — and the address is the one the glass is set with. It is the only craft where the product is a question: who drinks? — and the answer is the one the hunter points.
The recipe is the knowledge, and the knowledge is the one the guild charges for — on the ladder in The Maker's Hand, the recipe is the middle leg: the world gives the material, the maker knows the recipe, and the item is what the maker owes.
