Alchephonics

Description
Alcheponics is the process of strongly increasing a plant's growing speed by exposing it to lux, aqua and terra essentia in a crucible. The result is 2 items of the standard drop of the plant. However, wheat seeds will not create new seeds in the process.

Thaumonomicon Entry
"'While inanimate matter is easy enough to modify through alchemy, living things seldom survive the process. Your recent work has taken a somewhat different tack - instead of attempting to modify plants, you have simply used alchemy to accelerate their natural life cycle.""By soaking the seeds of common food crops in the concentrated essence of light, water, and soil, plants can be grown with astonishing speed. Unfortunately, this process takes its toll; the plants invariably die shortly after fruiting.""Most crops can be further propagated from alcheponic products, but wheat grown in this manner is sterile.'"
