Jace sat straighter in his chair as soon as Professor Newton entered the room. The Ravenclaw followed the man with his eyes, making sure that he’s okay. No achy joints then? Good. His attention then shifted from the man to the jars in front of them. Did he say gingko? They have those in Japan, especially in sacred grounds. As the potion master continued to talk, Jace picked up his quill and started to take down notes.

Concentration Concoction though? Jace doubted he’d use it, given that he’s super focused most of the time, however, the brew could definitely help Matt in his studies. The thing is...based on how Professor Newton described it, the brew would need lots of concentration of which, Matt lacks. Moving on, the Ravenclaw kept his head down as he wrote down more notes, adding in some of his own annotations. Trataka? Never heard of it.

Jace paused to look up and watch the demonstration, and wrote down more notes on his parchment. Trataka must be a form of meditation, based on what he saw just now. And...wait what? It has nothing to do with the potion? Well, that’s a bit impossible now isn’t it? Somehow the Trataka thing should aide in the preparation of the potion at the very least. “Erm, is it to help us focus before brewing the potion? And at the same time gauge the strength of the potion based on how long we do the Trataka?” Because yeah, it would be a bit pointless if they didn’t have their focus while brewing a Concentration Concoction.
