"...saw the hero using charged-up fireballs to torch a vile-looking Frostbite Spider, before using its venom to poison his blade..." Nice detail. Natural poisons, wonder if you can soup a spider's venom up even more with alchemy.
Yes, what's noteworthy about that is the fact that apparently we won't be required to use a workbench for alchemy the way we will be restricted to repairing weapons at a forge.
Or maybe the venom is just used directly without any alchemical distillation.
