{{flavour|Constructs a mobile and combat-capable alchemical manufactory. It uses the friction of melee combat to brew a variety of useful potions, venting clouds of their toxic byproducts at whatever it punches. When it has built up enough heat to complete its synthesis, it will automatically dispense the finished potions to nearby allies before falling apart.}}

'''Alistair's Walking Alembic''' is a level 5 [[Alchemy]]/[[Forgecraft]] spell that constructs a [[walking alembic|potion-brewing golem]] with both offensive and supportive properties.

Its melee attack vents fumes (creating short-lived poison [[clouds]] around what it punched), and after it has performed 4-6 attacks <!--- add src link to spl-summoning.cc's cast_walking_alembic(), the line that has "random_range(4, 6);" -->, it will finish brewing potions and distribute them. This affects up to 5 nearby allied monsters, and also the player (if they are within 3 tiles of the alembic when it finishes.)
    
For monsters, the effect is chosen randomly among haste, might, brilliance, or heal wounds (choosing only effects that could do something for the monster in question, for example no might on monsters with no attacks.).
    
For players, it chooses one of [[potion of haste|haste]], [[potion of magic|magic]], [[potion of heal wounds|heal wounds]], [[potion of might|might]], or [[potion of invisibility|invisibility]], at random. These effects have slightly shorter duration than drinking the potion directly, but otherwise count as a 'real' potion:
*The alembic cannot make potions in [[Cocytus]].
*[[Oni]] perform a [[Drunken Brawling]] attack if an alembic-brewed potion restores HP or MP.
*[[Mummies]] get no potion effects at all.
