game.tinctures — the belt of three phials, and what each one does to the way the doctor moves. Part of the TRAVERSE slice. Nothing here damages anything: a tincture is a timed change to the physics the doctor is simulated under, and each of them is a way past a piece of city the plain body cannot cross. Theriac heavy. Falls faster and lands harder, and a fall taken under it goes THROUGH a rotten board instead of standing on it. Slower on his feet, and the jump is shorter. Aqua Vitae quick. Unlocks the dash control on the ground and one dash in the air, refunded the next time he touches down. Vinegar Cloth soaked and held to the mask. Miasma cannot reach him, and the cloth catches the air on the way down — a long, slow fall that turns a lethal drop into a route.
