The water in the cauldron was not yet boiling so Levi occupied one of the stools and touched the other one, indicating Katy that perhaps she could do the same if she so desired. He grinned. "How about magnesium and, uhm...Hmmm...hold on." Levi slid off his chair, bounded to where the books rested and began to browse. He was quiet for a while, his frown deepening the more he read. "Magnessium and Potassium, maybe." He returned to the table, book in hand and pointed the page at Kay. "Potassium nitrate. And it'd need a stabilizer, like castor oil. You think there's any here?"

Was this easy enough? It probably wasn't. The worst that could happen was setting the Potions Lab on fire, though, and surely that had happened before.

He sharpened by hand? Without magic? Katy's eyes went all round and blue sparkles at him for a minute before she recalled that she was a scientist and this was an experiment and who cared about sandpaper? No one. Not a single person. "I do find them more precise than a regular potions' knife, but I've never tried tiny scissors. Oh..." She grinned and plopped on the stool. "I lie. I once shredded my mother's indoor herb garden with sewing scissors, but I was making tea. That's different. Precision isn't key."

Her mother had been amused, and that was the genesis of the first knife Katy had ever been given. She'd been six.

"Magnesium and Potassium nitrate and castor oil. I think only that last one is likely to be here, but... who knows? I've been surprised by the supplies before."
