Requirements: 7 Combined Tiers of Tools and Nature
As you throw an alchemical object, you can reduce its Area Value by 1 + TT/3 to increase its number of d12 used to attack by the same amount. This cannot reduce the Area Value below 1.
Boost: Instead, lose d12 to attack to increase Area Value. This cannot reduce the number of d12 below 1.
