Some muggles think it cures cancer, diabetes, liver problems... It depends on how it's used. Thinly slice all the mushrooms and add them to the cauldron. Take your wand and wave it over the cauldron with a fast strinking oblique motion and cast the spell." She said and once she was finished diffindoing them and adding them she performed the wand movement and cast "Sanum!"
Time for the next step. Wow, he's doing quite well. Must be because he's focusing on this a lot.... which is a good thing.

Jonathan grabbed the ginger root and grated it directly to the cauldron as the professor had told them to do. And now to let it simmer for about 5 minutes this time. He took his pocket watched and timed himself for 5 whole minutes. He looked at the other students doing the activity. They're doing quite well too. Potions.... such a fun, loving subject.

When the 5 minutes were over Jonathan took those heart shaped mushrooms that Lafay had demonstrated in front of the class. What was it called again? Reishi? Sounds kind of Japanese-y in his opinion. He hasn't heard of it though so it could be a possibility right, no?

He took this silver knife and tried cutting it as thinly as possible. The professor showed them how but cutting stuffs especially cutting it thinly is not something Jonathan is skilled off. Heck, he's not allowed in their own kitchen because of the baking incident that happened one summer day. But that was a long time ago now.

Okay... FOCUS!

Jonathan cut the mushrooms thinly and was pretty happy with the results. This will have to do. He then added them into the cauldron now that the ginger root has been grated and simmered for 5 minutes. He took his wand that was also on the table and waved it over the cauldron with a fast strinking oblique motion.

Spell... Spell??? Oh right. Sanum!

He immediately uttered "Sanum!"
