How do herbs cure afflictions, is it first on first off or a random order?
How does focus mind work? Does it take power? How many afflictions does it cure? What afflictions does it cure? Does it have a balance and if so how long is the balance?
What are balance times for potions, salves, herbs and elixirs and allheale?
Do all potions, salves, herbs and elixirs use balance if used? If not which do which dont?
Do infused runes hit at certain times or do they fire randomly?
Does anyone know if infused runes hit in a certain order and certain times if 2 runes are infused?
How does confusion affect an enemy? Does it slow down equilibrium gaining?

I will be eternally grateful for anyone who can answer any of these questions.

2. Focus mind uses no power. It works pretty much like Focus in the other realms, cures mental afflictions. Focus balance is dependant on Discipline skill.

4. I can't think of any that don't use a balance.

5. Infused runes hit on a 10 second timer, I believe. Runists do not see their infused runes hit.

6. A random infused rune will fire each time it ticks.

7. Confusion slows equilibrium regain.

1 Some you eat, some you apply (sometimes specifically to a body part) and some you put in a pipe and smoke. They take herb balance(meaning other herbs can't be used), which is a couple of seconds, depending on if your race has any advantages/disavantages. It takes off the affliction you got first
2 Don't know
3 Don't know, but most aren't very long (save allheale)
4 All use balance (all herbs take herb balance, healing mana and bromides a type of balance, the others use a seperate balance I think, and allheale might have its own balance, but not exactly sure)
5 What sylphas said, except I think runists can see what fired (I think dreamweavers see what motes fired)

Nope, runists don't see what rune fires. Unless the rune has a visible effect, like rad.

Also, infused runes fire on an 8 second timer, where as demesnes fire on a 10 second timer, making it virtually impossible to time perfectly for anything other than every 8 cycles. (though, this could have been changed.. runes would be alot better by actually making the time longer, to 10 seconds. Which is odd to think)

Aaand, if 2+ runes are inused, I believe its random. I used to lace Estelbar with 2-3 runes per room, but never tested for order.

For the record, applying herbs (arnica) takes salve balance, not herb balance.

Focus mind has it's own balance of like 1.5 seconds, not sure what it is exactly, but it's 250 mana and cures only mental afflictions (all the pennyroyal ones, epilepsy, recklessness, weakness, and a few others.)

Focus body, focus mind and focus spirit are all using same balance, focus balanc. And you can speed up this balance recovery by learning discipline. At trans focusing will be a bit below 1 sec.
And when focus body is first skill in discipline then focus mind and spirit are much higher. So when you learn them you will notice faster focusing.

Only potion that dont use potion balance is quicksilver.
But its also tricky to use, after you sip it, you got aeon defense after 5-6 seconds. Dont remeber exacly.\\\\\\\\
