Hidden Reactions (Orchid Mod)
Hidden Reactions are special effects triggered with Mouse 3 by default or by using Hidden Reactions Codex. Each effect can be used only after mixing the correct chemical weapons.
Using a Hidden Reaction gives the player the Experimental Drawbacks debuff, preventing it from using more for a variable amount of time depending on the mixture. Failing a Hidden Reaction grants 5 sec. of this debuff.
From version 1.3.0.5 of the mod, Hidden Reactions will also refund 50% of their potency cost.
Hidden Reactions don't need to be unlocked, the player just needs to know the right weapons to mix. Once a day, the Chemist will give the player an Alchemist Recipe Scroll whose color represents its rarity. Upon using, the Scroll will reveal the components of a random Hidden Reaction with the same rarity.
The Chemist will always give the highest rarity of hint available to the player, given at least 1 Hidden Reaction for this tier of hint is still undiscovered. If that is not the case, a hint of lower rarity will be given. That process repeats up to the hint rarity.
A new rarity of hint is unlocked by killing bosses, in order:
from the start,
after Eye of Cthulhu,
after Skeletron,
after Wall of Flesh,
after The Destroyer, Skeletron Prime or The Twins,
after Golem.
Unlocked Hidden Reactions and their general info can be seen with Hidden Reactions Codex sold by the Chemist for 10.

Glowing Mushroom Extract or a Glowing Mushroom in the inventory;
- Fire, Water and Air Spores are the first hint the Chemist will give to the player;
