Intro:
I'd like to see another way to convert items into something other than gold.
When it comes to converting items into something else, we've got...

High alchemy = converts items into gold (adds to inflation).
Disassemby = converts items into invention components.

Suggestion:
Dark alchemy = convert items (living or dead) into spell enhancers? Eg:
Corrupt ectoplasm to summon different conjures perhaps? open to ideas.

Inspiration:
You see a lot of witches in ED4 (zammy dungeon) alching, I always wondered why...
Also, there's the alchemist chest just outside the entrance. Are these clues to something?

Reasoning:
This got me thinking, with jagex trying to cut down on gold inflation, I wonder if we could add another way to convert items (that would otherwise get converted into gold) into something else? This idea / suggestion is a 'stub' so please feel free to add on any ideas you have. Bob says:

the core reason they came up with Invention. a way to get rid of stuff.

player owned farms, a way to get rid of seeds, any raw meat/fish, vegetables, and other random items to feed your animals.

I agree. But there are a lot of gold-injecting items that we're not incentivised to disassemble.

We could use a different form of alchemy to break down living materials (bones, flesh, etc) to create new potions. Example: increasing conjures up-time by 5% / increases the additional enemy hit by threads of fate by 1 / Increases channel time of blood siphon, etc.

Other ideas:
Soul gem - charge it up with kills / souls from the well, use up the charges by having it transform into a temporary weapon, similar to how crystal weapon seeds work. You could conjure a bow, staff, sword, they'd do necromancy damage but if the enemy is also weak to another combat style then it'd have a slight damage bonus. or we could enchant other weapons to deal a bit of necromancy damage, similar to poison but not damage over time.

Reanimate - the ability to raise creatures we've just killed to fight for us, at the cost of receiving no drops from said creature. could be useful at places like elite dungeons. idk. Bob says:
