As expected, the ten minutes had seemed like a lot longer, especially since about halfway through Brooklyn’s arm had gotten sore so she had switched the stirrer to her other hand for a few minutes merely to let her hand rest. Although, as she checked the time, she realized it was time to add the next ingredient and having her hand free created a new situation. Namely, she could use it to pick up the bowl she had put her measured powdered tortoise shell in. The liquid was the required lighter eggplant-y color, so she carefully tipped the bowl to let the powder fall into the cauldron. Still continuing to stir, switching the stirrer back to her dominant hand once she had set the bowl back down on her work station.

Now for more stirring. That was the one part of potion making she often found an issue with, as it was rather boring. At least the color continued to lighten, turning the required creamy color, if maybe still slightly purple in tone. There hadn’t really been an exact definition, so she assumed that things were going the way they were supposed to. She wouldn’t have accepted if they weren’t. Either way, she had another eight minutes to wait, still stirring even as she began thinking about passages from A Game of Thrones to pass the time. As long as she didn’t get too distracted and stop stirring, she figured she was allowed to occupy her mind.

Aging Potion
Characteristics: Emerald Green
Level: Advanced
Information: The effects are dosage based; the more ingested, the older one will age

Ingredients
100ml Red Wine
10ml Prune Juice
2g Hairy fungus, mashed
2g Tortoise Shell, powdered
5g Caterpillar, sliced
1 Bat Tongue, diced

1. Prepare all ingredients as listed in the ingredients list, weighing and measuring each carefully.
2. Slowly heat the red wine and prune juice and begin stirring clockwise until you can just see bubbles starting to form. (The mixture will be dark purple/brown)
3. Immediately add the Hairy Fungus and continue to stir clockwise for ten minutes. (The mixture will slowly fade to a lighter purple/brown)
4. Continuing to stir clockwise, add the tortoise shell. (The mixture will be a creamy color)
5. After eight minutes, remove the cauldron from the heat and add the caterpillar and bat tongue, making sure to continue to stir the solution in a clockwise motion for five minutes, until it changes to a creamy green colour.
6. As the potion cools, it will turn emerald green. Once it is completely cooled (about fifteen to twenty minutes), you may cease dispense the potion into appropriate vials for storage.
