With that thought she selected herself a stool to sit upon so she could watch but be out of the way.
"Got a bit ahead of yourself, there," she laughed softly. It happened. No harm was done.
"I'm always ready. Let's see what you go," Camilla Stewart smiled warmly nodding her head. Seeing her students succeed always made her incredibly happy and she was more than ready to under see this potion making get started.
SPOILER!!: Potion Directions
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
Did Noelle mention that she was
excited? It wasn't often that she was excited about making potions in front of professors, but alas. This time she was.
Looking over her supplies once more, she made sure she had everything before she started. She knew the potion almost by heart by now, but it was always good to have the instructions in front of you, just in case. "
Okay, so first, how are you today?" Professor Stewart and her had a pretty good relationship. She was more comfortable with her than a lot of the professors. Merlin, if she could only talk to her crush!professor like this. It would make CoMC so much smoother.
While she waited for her to answer, she cleaned her cauldron once more. "
Also, I tried getting my hands on a copper cauldron, but wasn't lucky this time. We made potions a couple weeks ago and I did this potion. I was able to use someone's copper cauldron that time." Just so she knew.
Next, Noelle filled a measuring cup with 700 ml used from her wand and then poured it into the cauldron. Then she lit the cauldron on low. No need to use her wand, she would need it elsewhere. After about 4 minutes, the water was boiling. Grabbing the leeches, she added them into the boiling water. Taking the boomslang skin, she gently laid it over the water surface. She was careful not to touch the boiling water. She didn't want any burns. It didn't take long for the skin to dissolve. She took her metal stick and stirred 6 times counterclockwise before turning the heat up to maximum.
