After two minutes he had a nice layer of dust covering the bottom of his mortar. His arm also felt like it was going to fall off.
Then he remembered something. He was a wizard! He could use magic for this. "Locomotor Pestle." he said aiming his wand at the pestle. He then made an upward movement with his wand (the pestle mimicked this) and then moved his wand swiftly downward (the pestle repeated this action). He did this a few more times until the pestle was acting on it's own.
"Ah, much better." he said rubbing his arm. He then updated the journal.
Marie laughed just a little when she seen how hard Carter had to work on crushing the bezoar. Glad she chose the bloodroot stems she went back to slicing them and getting all the
stuff out of them. As she was adding the last of it to her mortar she seen that Carter was sitting back rubbing his arm while letting the pestle do the work for him. Laughing she said,
"Maybe next year you should try out as beater, then your arms won't tire so quickly." Okay, maybe they would. After all he WAS crushing a stone, it wasn't like he was just cutting a plant like she was.
With the three bloodroots stripped she crushed the fluid and fibrous materials into a paste.
"I think it's about time to add the bezoar, how's that crushing going over there?" she asked with a smile.
She then updated their parchment before adding anything to the cauldron.
