Eight minutes up, Brooklyn extinguished the flame under her cauldron and carefully moved it away from the burner, just to make absolutely sure it wasn’t going to absorb any residual heat that might damage the potion. She wasn’t about to risk failure this close to being finished, and she glanced at her notes once again just to check what the next step was. Obviously there were still the last two ingredients to add. She didn’t really find it that surprising that adding them was the next step, but she also wasn’t planning on breaking the stirring cycle any more than it had been due to her moving the cauldron.

Instead, she took the stirrer into her hand again, beginning to stir yet again, still clockwise and at the same tempo as before. Using her free hand, she added the caterpillar and the tongue carefully, wanting to avoid any splashing or anything else that might be dangerous. If anything, the potion was still hot, so it might burn something. She wasn’t about to deal with a burn on her arm, or a hole in her uniform. Five minutes later, as her arm began to tire again, she glanced at the potion and smiled a little at the creamy green color. First, she appreciated the green, and second, it meant the potion was acting like it should. She hadn’t lost her ability.

Except now she had even longer to wait, for it to cool. She wasn’t about to just sit there doing nothing for twenty minutes, so she reached into her bag and pulled a book out. Time to read until it was time to bottle up her potion.

SPOILER!!: notes
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.
