"Mmm...of course, thank you for looking into the spellbook." Mareth thanked the elven woman with a slight smile, then considered a moment before continuing. "As to the alchemy...certainly. As long as you have the equipment and the supplies, I can do it easily enough. I'm not much into magical theory, but I've mastered alchemy to the point where I can create such items in nearly a tenth of the time, and craft potions as well. I<em>intend</em>to pick up the art of crafting the more...esoteric forms of magic items as well, but that's something for later. I'll admit, I possibly focused a bit too<em>much</em>on alchemy, but it's...something I enjoy."
