Varying degrees of detail depending on how much you actually have :possible. If you have say 15 different ingredients, allowing 2-15 to be :mixed at a time in any proportion to produce different effects, just :storing a list of those effects is impractical - we're talking about a :HUGE number of permutations already. Yep, which is why it would be so nice to be able to come up with some kind of calculation of the result, rather than having to look up a result that some human has already decided on.
