4. Add four stewed horned slugs and stir counterclockwise until potion turns a brownish-green.

6. In a separate small dish, add half a cup of dried billywig stings to twelve drops of peppermint solution and let soak for 10 minutes. At the end of ten minutes, add the contents of the dish to the cauldron and stir vigorously until solution turns pink and emits a minty scent.
7. Crush fluxweed until obtain one tablespoon quantity and then place that into the potion in small increments, being sure to stir with each entry before adding the next amount.
8. Once all the fluxweed has been added, increase the heat of the flame and place a large balloon over the mouth of the cauldron. The increase in heat should cause the potion to vaporize, the gas contents of which should be contained by the balloon and will be able to be administered in gas form. Oh, and don't let the clanking of the vents behind you or the screams from the floors below you drifting up through the ventiliation system distract your attention!
