Text Cut: You lot

Cosgrach nodded at them. "You're right. So, to sum up, there are these certain antidotes that someone found or created, and we can obtain their ingredients from plants or animals." What he said appeared on the board.

Text Cut: AJ and Phoenix

Cosgrach opened his mouth to answer the Gryffindor boy back, whose name eluded him, but the boy thankfully understood what he meant, so he smiled at him and AJ. "So there are also muggle ways," he said and nodded. Good.

Text Cut: Maddie and Toby

Cosgrach allowed himself a smile when Toby couldn't pronounce 'Golpalott'. "You're right and mentioned something very important: you cannot create an antidote by simply adding all the counter ingredients, you need something more to bind all of these." Did everyone note it down? He hoped so. It even appeared on the board and all.

"Now, last question before we begin the activity," he smiled mischievously, "What is the essential part of most antidotes?"

This one Jasmine was not sure about so she waited to hear what her classmates had to say. Quote: Originally Posted by Hera "Herbs and things with properties that are opposite to the poison that's been taken?" he voiced uncertainly, hand raised in the air. "Kinda like that whole bezoar thing, some other things might also be useful for other poisons and just need to be picked or harvested." Harvested sounded like a weird word, yo, but it was appropriate, so he went with it. Cosgrach nodded at them. "You're right.

You can make yourself throw up or have to drink lots of water. I think maybe those techniques could be helpful." Sticking a finger down your throat could take way less time than brewing a potion.

He wasn't... chewing it anymore... But now what was he supposed to do with his hands? He looked round the room as people started answering the next question - to be honest, he'd have just gone to a healer... "Can you... for like... less strong poisons... dilute them? I mean, I know if you accidentally drink bleach or stuff you're supposed to drink milk..." Sure, that was a muggle thing... but he didn't get potions. At least he was trying...

It was something about how you can't simply add an ingredient to counteract each ingredient in the potion when it's all mixed together. You need to find something else that's more powerful than the poison as a whole." Quote: Originally Posted by Felixir "Maddie mentioned Golap-... Gollopalot-, no... Galopa-..." Ahem. "She mentioned that one law." Names and words were difficult, okay? "Well, there's a sort of process that's something to do with that law, where if you have the poison in front of you, you can sort of work your way backwards and find out what you're working with. If you can separate the components of the poison and all that, you know what's needed to counteract and overpower it, and then you can work out the specifics of the antidote that you need to make, or something."

Golpalott's Third Law: The antidote for a blended poison will be equal to more than the sum of the antidotes for each of the separate components. Translation: You cannot create an antidote by simply adding all the counter ingredients, you need something more to bind all of these. OOC: I'll post about 15 hours later.
