Have you ever stumbled upon a Hagraven's lair and asked yourself: damn, what are they cookin? Well this mod attempts to answer that question. One would assume that there would be a good reason for them to decorate their living spaces with goat giblets and what not, it can't all be just for dramatic effect, right?
This mod introduces an alternate way of casting/learning spells, that involves a bit more than just eating a spellbook. By combining unholy ingredients, a hardworking hag can create brews that grant powerful abilities or allow them to cast certain spells for a time, or craft poisons that harm/maim/paralyze/hatch horrors from the flesh of their victims.
Various Defiled Alchemy Labs have been introduced to areas associated with Hagravens, used for the brewing of such concoctions. However the Dragonborn does not know these recipes by heart, how could they? They are used to shouting at their problems, not brewing their way out of trouble. To get started visit the Falkreath jail, there you will find a hag rotting in a cell, and a note detailing the location of her recently discovered lair, where you will discover a recipe book required for the craft. Alternatively you could find the recipe book by paying a visit to some Hagraven lairs. Hagravens will also drop alchemical supplies when defeated, so they may be worth hunting down in case your own reserves run dry.
I won't spoil the list of available brews, but here are a few examples:
Perfect for characters that want to use magic but don't want the inconvenience of always having to hold a glowing glob in their hands. Doesn't alter the alchemy system, however you do get alchemy experience for crafting brews. It should be compatible with any alchemy overhaul mod.
I strongly recommend PraedythXVI's Skeleton Replacer HD mod and ElSopa's Potions Redone mod, they make Blacktrees and brews very pretty :3

I won't spoil the list of available brews, but here are a few examples:
- Blacktree Sap is used for brews of a necrotic nature, including reanimating poisons, or brews that provide the means to defile dead humanoids or Spriggans.
- Fleshroot is used for fortifying potions, paralytic poisons, or for the growth of fleshy arachnids.
- Harness the powers of Apocrypha for a short time with brews containing Mora's ink
- Brews of Necromancy offer a different version of the dark arts compared to Blacktree Sap, focusing on raising the dead from a distance, or placing undead under the control of the caster.
- Venomous Essence can be used for poisons that specialise in bursting, sharing their poisonous joy to others nearby.
- Transform your foes into living spider hatcheries with poisons containing Essence of Crawling.
