Description
Made from ash and water, this is used when preparing leather.
A mixture made through alchemy for making leather out of animal hide, and for creating corrosive traps and concrete. When creating, all water in the container you're using will be replaced with lye, and ash will be consumed at a ratio of 0.10 kg for every full litre (1.00 kg) of water.

Rare lye adds +1 to the QL of the leather produced.
Notes
- The ratio to create is 1.00 kg of water to 0.10 kg of ash.
- Even when using 45 kg of water (a small barrel worth) and 0.10 kg of ash, all water will be consumed and 1.00 kg lye created.
- If you use 0.20 kg of ash with 2 kg of water, you can create 2.00 kg of lye. Note that excess water will still be wasted.
- Quality of the lye is capped by the quality of the ash used, and affected by your skill check success in natural substances.
- Failing to create lye uses 0.10 kg of water and 0.10 kg of ash.
- If you try to drink it, you get the message "Eww.. the lye tastes funny and won't quench your thirst at all!"
