Luckily, based on real world chemistry, I'd say "impossible".

In glorantha, I'd allow the player to try and start a heroquest. However, the only appropriate one I can think of is the "Alone in Hell" situation where the questers need outside help. Perhaps they'd be better off training Laddie the Shadow Cat...
