Caitlin opened up her textbook, read and copied the notes and the committed them to memory. Then she immediately began to follow the instructions. She brought out her needed materials and set to work.

She placed then moonstone in the five hundred millimeters of water and let it boil for five minutes. She then crushed the two grams of belladonna. Next, she took her herbal crusher (given to her by her aunt last year; her aunt had often told her that freshly ground ingredients worked much better) and turned the seven grams of nettles into power. She took the two ingredients, shook them in, and let the potion simmer for another five minutes. Afterwards, she turned down the heat and let it simmer for another five.

She stirred twenty full strokes clock-wise, then twenty more in the opposite direction. The potion remained clear so she poured it into her assigned goblet.

Caitlin dipped the tip of her want into the potion and softly said, “Coloro,” whilst thinking of her natural hair color. She’d dyed it so many times and was much too impatient to let it grow out again, so this was an easier solution to see how it would work.

Caitlin dipped her dark brown hair into the two hundred millimeters of the potion and waited five minutes, and her hair steadily became a light shade of blonde.
