She spent a moment just walking the perimeter, checking out the space. "Okay, what's first?"
Noelle was setting up everything when the door opened. She grinned and waved at Haddie. "
Yeah, but this.... this place has potential!" Plus, it was something different from the RoR. For a room that was hidden, lots of people seemed to know about it and used it. She grinned at Asher and wiggled her fingers at him. "
Hey pretty bird" She said adoringly before turning back to her potion.
"
Okay so..." Noelle pulled out the potion that she'd already made a few times. ... more like double digits of times. But who was counting. It was Hady's fault really, her big sister had given it to her, her fourth year. "
This is the potion that the professor wants us to brew. Have you ever brewed it before?" She asked, holding out the folded up piece of paper.
SPOILER!!: Mutatio Animalia
Mutatio Animalia
Effect: Transforms the appearance of the drinker into that of a mundane animal, so the drinker still retains their human mind
Ingredients
8 leeches
1.5 cm of boomslang skin, dried under sun for 7 days
2 horns of bicorn (grated)
1 scoop of frozen lacewing flies at -21°C for 7 days
6 measures of Fluxweed picked on waxing gibbous
A part (if fur is used, more than 3 strands) of the desired non-magical animal
Instructions
Fill the cauldron with 700 mL of water and light a low fire
Add the leeches after 4 minutes of heating the water
Gently lay the skin on the water surface
Once the skin disappears, stir 6 times counter-clockwise with a metal stick
Bring the fire to maximum and wait for 7 minutes for a pewter cauldron, 17 minutes for brass, and 23 for copper.
Grate the bicorn horns in the meantime.
Once the time is up, lower the fire to medium and add the horns gently
Wave your wand and say 'Permuto motus'
Add the lacewing flies
Starting in the clockwise direction, alternate between clockwise and counter clockwise and stir 14 times IN TOTAL (7 clockwise, 7 counter clockwise). Use a wooden stick
Add the fluxweed and bring the fire to low
Let the potion brew for 23 hours for a pewter cauldron, 17 hours for brass, and 7 hours for copper. Keep the fire on until it's exactly 23/17/7 hours.
Once it's time, put out the fire and either store it or add the preferred NON MAGICAL animal part (fur or other) to use
Enjoy
Extra notes
The drinker will be clumsy until they get used to the altered body form.
It's colourless and completely clear. It changes according to the fur colour of the preferred animal.
The taste depends on the animal.
A glass is normal dose. There is no overdose.
Duration: 15 minutes-5 hours (depends on the ability of the brewer)
Transformation process is only a little bit painful
IMPORTANT NOTE: If you wish to transform into a sea animal, REMEMBER THAT YOU HAVE TO BE IN THE WATER. OTHERWISE, YOU WILL DIE ON LAND.
The base can be stored for up to to years at room temperature away from direct sunlight, but after an animal part is added, it should be consumed in a month.
