Cutty pushed the ingredients list he'd made to the top of his desk and began dumping, almost literally, all of the things he'd collected from his basket. The green sprigs of the barbed skullcap rolled out, followed by the rock-like tumbling of the sassafras and vanilla bean which rolled a bit but did not fall off of the desk. The blueberries however, well not all of them stayed put being of such a round shape.

Dismissing the fallen blueberries as a loss not worth retrieving, Cutty began separating the different ingredients into small piles. When he'd gotten them all sufficiently segregated he began with a handful of blueberries. "Siccus Aerous!" He said confidently performing the two circular motions and giving the incantation. The berries had shrunken to a smaller size and their colour seemed to intensify until they were moved from their indigo into an almost black shade. Cutty admired them for a moment, for to his gross little boys mind they resembled rabbit droppings and Oh, wouldn't it be fun to trick someone with them. He plucked one up from the surface of his workspace and put it into his mouth noticing that it, like the fruits in the kitchen got a bit sweeter as well. Maybe he wouldn't need many of them. He grabbed with his left hand and casted with his right forming something of an assembly line for the blueberries and when he was finished, he tossed them into the basket of ingredients that were already dry.

Next came the sassafras root bark. Chunky and woody, it might take a slightly longer or more intense application of the spell. "Siccus Aerous!" Cutty's wand wound in his hand and he concentrated hard on what the bark would look and feel like once dried out. Lighter in colour and almost splintery. When he was done, he noticed the chunk seemed to have lost a little weight. He tossed and caught it once in hand, then placed it into his basket.
