Vera was truly not feeling very optimistic about this potions assignment. She'd started it as such, but with each day progressing where she had to think on it she was feeling more and more in despair. Which was primarily why she had begged and pleaded one of her dear friends to pair up with her to work together on it. Healing things were also well up Maria's alley, so she was feeling in pretty good hands now that the two had set aside some time together.

Lugging a huge pile of books she'd grabbed from shelves over to their study table, Ve plopped them down before sliding into a seat and begin to pull them towards her, one by one. She'd picked books mostly with ingredients descriptions for now, deciding to narrow down what she wanted a potion to do and then..... pick four and five and hope for the best.

Billywig sting slime. Hmph, well... while she didn't know it's exact properties, it WAS used in wiggenweld potion which healed minor cuts and injuries. So... that seemed like a good option for something health wise, yes? Boom berry was another, though considering she wasn't looking to make an exact replica of a potion that already existed perhaps she could skate by and use only one or the other. Bobotuber pus.... well that one did give her a bit of an idea. Perking up slightly, Ve turned towards Maria. "Do you think creating a different variant of potion for dealing with acne would count for the assignment?" Technically it could be considered more of a beautification thing than healing, she supposed but.... if Maria agreed there was a shot it could work, Vera was willing to take her chances.
