Editing Hyde (section)

==Methodology==
Work via the use of various alchemical drugs to create an alternate [[Self]] to be what the practitioner isn't, multiple 'hyde's for one practitioner are possible. If done badly it can lead to your self being eroded<ref name=":1" /> or the Hyde side becoming dominant and the original side being left weak or destroyed.<ref name=":2" /> Once performed the effects are irreversible.<ref name=":2" />

In order to test this alchemists often create hyde concoctions that are temporary and only last a short while, these becomes less effective with each use.<ref name=":2">One direction alchemy could go was the Jekyll-Hyde dynamic.  Though the books just called them Hydes.<br><br>Test runs were important for that, because it was irreversible once set in motion and tended to end with a Hyde side dominant, a broken, weaker Jekyll, or both dead.  ''Usually'' the whole thing happened as a secret or side project for the practitioner, to solve some critical problem they were dealing with.<br><br>Buying a little bit of time, power, or problem solving at the cost of a lifelong war within themselves.<br><br>The nature of the dynamic and the divide depended on a lot.  There were any number of directions Verona could have gone.  Like chasing a more adult, elegant version of herself, or accessing some inverse part of herself that would be a good daughter to her dad, and a disciplined student.  With the regular ritual and alchemy, once that divide in the Self was marked out, it was permanent.<br><br>This drug was meant as a test run for all of that.  A way for a prospective Hyde to test what they might end up becoming.  As often as not, it was a gateway into being a full Hyde… usually because the effectiveness dropped steeply.- [https://palewebserial.wordpress.com/2022/01/11 Excerpt] from [[Left in the Dust 16.9]]</ref>
