Default Potions 1

The class is the same with the proper chairs with soft cushions to sit and lean back on, and they are still are charmed to take the most comfortable shape and height once a student is seated. The walls are still a soft, calming blue. There are one big, grey rubbish bin by the door and a white, porcelain washbasin with a tap for those who wants to wash their hands before/after the class and who can't perform 'Aguamenti' charm.

The door is open 15 minutes before the class time. Professor Culloden is sitting at his desk and greets everyone very cheerfully.


OOC: If you are going to RP your characer use the washbasin or the bin, you don't have to take Cosgrach's permission. Just assume he has granted it.

The class has begun, so please do not post your characters late!

Extra notes
  • After completion, it needs to wait for a few minutes to mature.
  • It's a base potion, which can be stored for a year. The emotion to be decided after the creation of the base
  • The antidote is the base, which lifts the effect of the potion, so the person goes back to feeling whatever they were feeling before consumption. However, if a normal person drinks it, it makes them feel completely neutral and therefore confused. A full water glass of antidote is needed for full dose.
  • Full dose is half a water glass in any liquid.
  • Overdose is more than a full water glass in 24 hours. May cause severe emotional changes and/or only one emotion for an indeterminate time. SEEK PROFESSIONAL HELP IMMEDIATELY IN CASE OF AN OVERDOSE.
  • The duration of the potion depends on the brewer, but it's usually between 5 to 10 hours.
  • Colours are:
    Happiness: Bright pink
    Sadness: Grey
    Tenderness: Orange
    Anger: Bright red
