Red and blue flasks share a charge pool. Allocate flask charges at a grace to choose the split; adding a blue charge leaves one fewer red charge and vice versa.
Golden Seeds increase that shared charge total, up to 14. Sacred Tears increase restoration per drink, up to +12, without adding charges.
Both colors share the same Sacred Tear upgrade level. Improving one does not require spending another tear on the other color.
The unupgraded flask restores 250 HP, rising to 810 HP at +12. These are ordinary restoration amounts, before flask-healing bonuses or healing penalties.
Crimson Seed Talisman improves this flask's healing. Crimson Amber Medallion increases maximum HP instead, so it does not make the drink itself restore more.
Using a Crimson flask does not cure poison, rot or other status effects. Healing lost HP and removing the condition are separate actions.
Sacred Tears do not improve the Flask of Wondrous Physick. That flask uses its own Crystal Tear mixture and separate use.
