Sidney looks through all the Potion Books she has. She's about the give up when she finally finds on Sidney hope matches her grade level.

Wit-Sharpening Potion

500ml Armadillo Bile
8 drams Fluxweed (crushed)
2.5ml Ginger (peeled and chopped)
5ml Scarab Beetles (crushed to a powder)

Crush Fluxweed. Pour Armadillo Bile into cauldron. Bring to a boil. When potion has reached a roaring boil, add Fluxweed. Stir potion 5 times clockwise. Let potion boil for 10 minutes stirring occasionally as needed. Do Not Allow The Potion to Boil Over.

Peel ginger root and chop fine. When time is up, add ginger to potion. Reduce heat. The potion needs to come to a simmer for 30 minutes. Stir potion counter-clockwise 3 times. The potion must be stirred counter-clockwise 3 times an additional 3 times while it simmers. Place the lid on the cauldron.

Grind Scarab Beetles to a find powder. Measure exactly 5ml. Sprinkle the powder over the potion. Do Not Stir Or DO Anything Else To The Potion! Replace lid. Let potion brew for 45 minutes.

When time has elapsed, the potion will have reduced by half and now be a deep purple. If it is not, then you have done something wrong. Remove cauldron from heat and let cool. The potion should now have a slightly thick consistency. Ladle potion into individual vials. Seal by using a sealing charm. Potion should remain potent for three month if sealed properly.

Sidney opens her potion journal and swishes her wand over the text book, and then does the same thing over her journal. The potion instructions appear on the page. First things first, I need to gather up the ingredients I don't have and get to work. Sidney goes through her potion kit and finds the Armadillo Bile. She then finds her knife, mortar and pestle, and her scales. Sidney then goes to the potion store. She grabs a tray on the way. Once inside, she finds the fluxweed, ginger root, and a bottle of scarab beetles. The label just says Scarab Beetles. I hope there the ones I need. With her ingredients in hand, Sidney walks back to her work station.

Sidney reads the directions. According to the directons, I should prepare the fluxweed before I add the Armadillo Bile to my cauldron. I'd better do things according to the directions. I don't need anymore exploding cauldrons on my record. Sidney cuts the fluxweed into smaller pieces and then puts a small amount in her mortar. She crushes it with the pestal. Sidney continues to do this until she has a bowl full. She measure 8 drams of fluxweed into her measuring beaker. Sidney places it to the right of her cauldron. She finds her mixing stick and puts it next to the beaker. Sidney goes to the supply table and picks up another beaker. She measures 500l of Armadillo Bile and pours it into her cauldron. Sidney arranges the wood under her cauldron and lites it. The flames shoot up the side of the stand and lick the bottom of her cauldron.

Sidney stands up and watches the Armadillo Bile in her cauldron. What is it they say? A watched pot never boils. It does seem to take forever for the bile to boil, but it finally does. Sidney pours the fluxweed into the cauldron and stirs the potion five times clockwise. She turns her hourglass over and fixes it so the glass will inform her when ten minutes has elapsed.

Sidney checks the instructions again. I'd better get to work on the ginger root. It has to go in at the end of the 10 minutes. Sidney grabs the the root and her knife. She cuts off a part of the root. No need to peel the whole thing. Ginger root stores better with its skin still on. You can place a sealing charm on the end you cut the piece from. All that time helping in the kitchen has really helped Sidney's knife skills. She has no trouble cutting the ginger root into fine pieces. Then Sidney hears bubbling sounds coming from her cauldron. She looks up to see the potion boiling up to the rim of the cauldron. Sidney jumps up and grabs her stirring stick. She stirs like crazy to slow down the boiling process. Sidney quickly switches the stirring stick into her left hand. With her right hand she grabs her wand out of its holster. She points it at the fire and reduces the heat. Slowly the flames work their way back down. They're no longer licking the sides of her cauldorn. Sidney lets out a sigh of relief. That was close. I don't think I want to find out what happens if the potion hits those flames.

Before Sidney can sit back down the hour glass starts buzzing. Sidney waves her wand over it and the buzzing stops. Time to add the ginger. Sidney checks the instructions again. I need 2.5ml of ginger.[/I] Sidney grabs the beaker she had just measured the fluxweed in. She picks up some ginger with her knife. Not so fast... Remember what happened the last time you mixed ingredients together before adding them to your potion. Sidney grabs the beaker and runs to the sink. She quickly watches and dries it. Sidney then goes back to her work station and measure 2.5ml of ginger. She then adds it to the potion. Sidney stirs the potion counter clockwise 3 times. The instructions say I need to reduce the heat. I've already done that while it was boiling, so I shouldn't need to do it again. Sidney places the lid on her cauldron, sets the hour glass for 10 minutes, and cleans her work station.
