Lively Concoction
Lively Concoction, often shortened to LC, is an elusive Magical Liquid. It appears as a glowing, lime-green healing liquid.
Similarly to Alchemic Precursor, it can only be obtained by mixing three different materials together, depending on the run's game seed.
Characteristics
When touched or consumed, Lively Concoction provides the Regeneration effect, constantly regaining health while active. Drinking from a Potion will grant 7.5 seconds of the effect, while staining grants it indefinitely as long as it's applied. The latter, similarly to Ambrosia's
Protection from all, quickly wears off when moving.
Unlike Healthium, the liquid does not disappear on contact and therefore being easier to stain. However, the liquid itself has a lifetime of 15 seconds (900 frames), vanishing soon after. It also disappears when unloaded.

- Rare chance of finding a
Lively Concoction in a Treasure Chest or Great Treasure Chest.
Tips
- When using it to stain yourself, make sure to do it in a safe area and with a small hole in the ground so it doesn't spill out.
- It's recommended to store some in a flask and use Sea of Mimicium to duplicate large quantities as needed, given the nearly riskless level of ease of access for that spell in any run via inventory telekinesis. Fill flasks from the Sea, or it will decay as usual. If you fill a flask, meanwhile the reaction of mimicium to Lively Concoction will occur there but the whole will remain stable per usual.
- Alternatively, performing a flask based Fungal Reality Shift has a 37.5% chance of replacing some of the world with Lively Concoction. It also has a 37.5% chance of removing Lively Concoction from existence, however. The remaining 25% probability is an outcome that has no effect on Lively Concoction. As Lively Concoction can always be made from its precursors, but Healthium can not, it may be wiser to try to find Healthium for shifting experiments, but every run is different.
Reactions
Lively Concoction reacts with Purifying Powder to produce Gunpowder. However, this is not exactly Healthium but an alchemical reaction between a substance with the [regenerative] tag and Purifying Powder.
