== Description ==
''Made from ash and water, this is used when preparing leather.''
== Description ==
A mixture made through [[alchemy]] for making [[leather]] out of [[animal hide]], and for creating [[corrosive trap]]s 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.
*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.
