Tora pick up her potions book and flipped open to a random page. She had really wanted to make an Invisibility potion, but couldn't as there wasn't a recipe for one in her textbook, hence the reason why she had wanted the class to make it. So she could get the recipe. Sigh. Oh well. She flipped blindly through a couple pages until she landed on the Scintillation Solution.

Text Cut: Scintillation Solution

Scintillation Solution

Ingredients:
Water (200mL)- potion base
Salt (6 g)- emits light
Billywig stings, dried, powdered (2)- excitation
Essence of firefly (3 drops)- aids in the production of light

Instructions:
Set water to boil and add salt, stirring clockwise until dissolved
Powder billywig stings and add to boiling salt water, stir counter-clockwise 12 times, then clockwise twice and repeat six times
Carefully add essence of firefly, one drop at a time, stirring 6 times counter-clockwise then clockwise twice in between each addition
Reduce flame and simmer for 20 min before allowing potion to cool
Carefully ladle potion into appropriately sized vessels


It sounded like it might make interesting results, but then again it also looked incredibly simple. So she flipped a couple pages back to a Hair-changing potion. That might be fun!
Text Cut: Hair changing Potion
Hair-changing Potion: mild formulation

Use/Effect:
The mild formulation of the Hair-Changing Potion is used to alter the coloration of a person’s hair.

Ingredients:
water (500 mL)
belladonna (2 g; crushed)
nettles (5 g; dried, powdered)
moonstone

Instructions:
place moonstone in cauldron and add water
boil water for 5 minutes
add belladonna and nettles
boil for 5 minutes
reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes
stir, 20 full strokes clockwise followed by 20 full strokes counter-clockwise
place the clear potion in a goblet
dip the very tip of wand in potion and incant, "Coloro!" while concentrating on the color you want the hair
rinse hair in 200 mL of potion
wait 5 minutes for color change

Notes:
Belladonna (also known as deadly nightshade) is highly poisonous and this potion should not be ingested.
Remaining potion should be used within 24 hours.
Hair color will remain for 24-48 hours.
Moonstone may be reused.


She wanted to do both though, maybe she would have time to brew the two of them if she got on it? Both potions only took about 20 minutes to make, so she should have enough time...

But which to start with? She looked both over and eventually decided to get working on the one that looked more fun- the Hair-Changing Potion.
