Abby opens her potions notebook and writes down what has been said. She then raises her hand. "The way we prepare the ingredients should effect how the potion is brewed. Items that are kept whole generally do not disolve completely into the potion, nor are they immediately incoporated in it. Instead the essense of the ingredient is incorporated into the potion over a prolonged period of time. When we chop an ingredient up, we are releasing some of the magical properties of the ingredient before the ingredient is added to the potion. It then can more easily incorporate itself into the potion. The magic is also infused in the potion instantly when the ingredient is chopped or smashed." Professor Kazimeriz may not want to acept it, but cooking and brewing have a lot in common. |
