Capitalist Alchemist

Seeing your rival alchemy shop do better and bring in more customers, you decide to "steal" some of their precious recipes instead of trying in vain to develop your own. Send your assistant to bring potions which you need to guess by analyzing their properties. The destiny of your business depends on your skill.
