The brewing process was good and underway when Sophie finally got started on the steps the professor had listed. She started with step one, since...well, that was the first step. Duh. She added some water to a glass bowl. With her gloves on her hand, she squeezed the bubotuber's pus into the bowl.

She followed that by adding the seal milk. When it was mixed in, she turned the heater to high for a minute and then lowered it to medium. With step two out of the way, she added the hellebore syrup. She then made a small cut at the back of the pufferfish eyes and squished them into the cauldron. That should have been gross to her, but instead, she grinned at how amusing it was.

When the liquid was out, she tossed the leftovers into the bin.
