Qaz decided that it was time to finish her potion…so, she put her cauldron back on a low fire so that it would slowly heat back up.

While she was waiting for it to boil, she sliced her skinroot. Qaz loved her knife…the silver shone and the turquise felt so comforting to the touch. It was a present from her Shaman…and she’d treasured it more than anything else she owned….except her wand.

Her potion was starting to simmer, so she increase the fire slightly and kept a close eye on it until it boiled. Qaz then added the 20 superthin slices of skinroot and turned down the flame. Watching ever so closely, she added the 3 rat eyes as soon as the mixture turned pink.

Qaz quickly and carefully removed the cauldron from the heat, extinguished the fire and started carefully stirring…keeping a close eye out for black streaks. As soon as the black streaks appeared, she stopped stirring.
