The smell of wafting potion fumes assails you as you enter the classroom. There is an unattended cauldron sitting on the professor's desk, with a green potion bubbling serenely within. There is no sign of the headmaster. As you take your seat, assuming of course that the often lost professor has been delayed coming back from the loo, you look up and find a message scrawled upon the blackboard in Headmaster Bontecou's messy scrawl: Quote:

Today's lesson is on potion development. One practice all potion developers should be well versed in is that of identifying potions and the ingredients within them. For the first part of the lesson, please gather around the front desk and discuss among yourselves what potion this might be using your senses and any spells or other means you have of identifying the potion or its ingredients. Hints
1.
Do NOT taste or touch the potion.

Good Luck!
ooc FYI (so you know the outcome of anything you characters might try to do but please remember this is OOC info only!!! Your characters won't know these things unless they look/smell/taste/whatever): The potion is green, it smells like clean freshwater, tastes salty (your character will get a tummy ache, become light headed and possibly faint if they drink it), explodes when dropped, feels slippery and makes your fingers tingle when touched with the fingers (toes if you touched it with toes, etc).
I will be coming back to run a traditional part of class when I get a chance.
