Third Era Alchemy Equipment

This mod adds four types of alchemy apparatus (mortar and pestle, alembic, calcinator, and retort) in five qualities (novice to master).  Alchemy equipment can be activated from your inventory to make potions.  Only a mortar and pestle is strictly required to do this, but having other equipment, and equipment of higher qualities, improves the potency of created potions.  With master-level equipment of all four types, created potions and poisons are as effective as they would be if created at a standard alchemy table.

Portable Alchemy was the inspiration for this mod; check it out as well!

Getting the equipment

Equipment can be bought from apothecaries, acquired as random loot, or in a few specific places in the world.  Higher-level equipment is available as you level up (capping out at level 20-30ish, depending on the source).  At a given point, you can generally find higher-level equipment from loot than apothecaries; additionally, expert equipment is the highest level sold.  Master-level equipment is intended to be rare and difficult to find.

Most spawns are random, but there are a small number of locations with equipment placed in the world from the start of the game, including several mid to high level sets of equipment and a single guaranteed master-level apparatus of each type.  If you'd prefer to be surprised, don't expand this spoiler:

• []Alftand ruins (Alftand02), near Valie's body; guaranteed master retort

  []Forsaken Cave (ForsakenCave02), in the room with the White Phial; guaranteed master alembic

  []Potema's Sanctum (PotemasCatacombs03), directly to the right of the throne with Potema's remains; guaranteed master calcinator

  []Darklight Tower (DarklightTowerExterior02), on the table with the beheaded skeever and a copy of Horror of Castle Xyr; guaranteed master mortar

  []Frostflow Lighthouse (FrostflowAbyss), near the overlook with several Falmer tents above the area with Sudi's body

  []Sinderion's lab in Blackreach (BlackreachSinderionsShack), near the bed to the left

  []The room you're assigned at the College of Winterhold (WinterholdCollegeHallofAttainment); full set of lower-level equipment

  It's possible there could be some clipping/havok items getting knocked around if you have another mod that changes or adds to the same places, but there shouldn't be issues beyond that. If there's a place where this is very annoying together with another mod, let me know and I can look at moving the equipment. Alternatively you can safely get rid of equipment in a location by deleting the edits made to that cell in xEdit.

  Equipment quality

  Equipment types have different effects on potion quality:

  []Mortar & pestle quality strengthens all effects (0. 6 to 1x)

  [*]Calcinator quality strengthens all effec
