It seemed many people were having little luck with getting tears, and Paul felt kiiiiiind of bad. He looked at his watch and decided to give them just a bit more time. “While some of you finish up collecting those tears, I’ll finally explain just what Herbologists know about the tears so far.” He grinned.

“If someone were to ingest the tears in their purest form, they would feel a deep, mourning loss in their heart, as if you had lost something.” Or someone. But that was really saaaaad. “It is...not impossible to come back from that, but it is still something that is very difficult to reverse. So please do not ingest the tears.” Because no. None of them wanted to feel that sad. “They have uses in potions, mostly, in particular ones that have to do with affecting someone’s mood. Potioneers and Herbologists alike are still trying to experiment with the tears to figure out all of their uses because we thiiiiink there are more --- some people even think the tears are a quick bring down from the Euphoria potion, but just one single drop, at that. BUT...of its uses, while I wait for you all to finish---please, feel free to continue for now--I want some creativity here.” Paul grinned and rubbed his hands together excitedly. He had a answer to his question already formed in his mind.

“If you...could either A. invent a potion or B. add it to a potion of your choice...or C. Come up with a new use for it, what do you think you would use these Weeping Willow tears for?” Paul put a stopper at the top of his vial that was ¾ of the way full of tears. They looked no different than rain, water. Clear. “Anyone?”



OOC: I am moving on to the next part of the lesson in, roughly, a day. If you have not yet finished collecting tears, feel free to continue while we discuss what Paul asked above ^^ It isn't supposed to be easy to get those tears, so...Paul feels bad, but I'm like...yep! Lol! <3
