Text Cut: Notes
Love Potions
  • cause an infatuation/obsession for the brewer or the first person seen.
  • Amortentia = most powerful
  • Duration varies on: weight of the drinker, attractiveness the brewer, etc.
  • Effects wear off naturally over time, but can be renewed by more doses
  • There is no overdose
  • Effect = instantaneous
  • Drinker appears "pale and sickly" and becomes obsessed with the brewer or the first person seen; excited or dangerously unstable towards others
  • A hate potion can cancel out love potions and vice versa. There is also a proper antidote.
  • Brewer doesn't have to be present for the effect
  • Drinker does not forget what he or she did while under its influence
  • Love potions mature over time; the longer they're kept, the stronger they will be
  • Characteristics: distinctive mother-of-pearl sheen + spiral steams; aroma is different for everyone and reminds each person of the things that they find most attractive
  • Smell of Amortentia can change as you see new things and people

Potion Ingredients
  • 8 flower heads of sneezewort (separate the petals beforehand)
  • 8 berries of atropa belladonna
  • 8 chopped leaves of alihotsy (prepared beforehand)
  • One frozen ashwinder egg broken in 8
  • 8 teaspoons of powdered moonstone
  • All the thorns of 8 roses
  • 8 drops of salamander blood
  • 8 tablespoons of peppermint

Brewing Instructions
  1. Prepare the sneezewort, alihotsy and moonstone.
  2. Fill the cauldron with purified water and add the sneezewort petals.
  3. Light a fire under the cauldron and set it to maximum.
  4. Add the heads of the sneezewort.
  5. Stir 8 times clockwise with a metal stick.
  6. Add the berries of atropa bellandonna one by one.
  7. Sprinkle alihotsy leaves in a clockwise circle.
  8. Wave your wand. The color should turn to dark red.
  9. Wait for 25 minutes for pewter cauldrons, 13 for brass, and 8 for copper.
  10. In the meantime, break the egg into 8. If you break it into more pieces accidentally, get another egg.
  11. When the time is up, add the egg parts.
  12. Stir vigorously clockwise with a metal stick until the color is purple.
  13. Sprinkle the moonstone in the middle of the cauldron.
  14. Throw all the thorns in quickly.
  15. Add the drops of salamander blood one by one; with each drop, observe that the potion turns to its distinctive mother-of-pearl sheen.


MOAR steps? Would this potion never end?! Davie diligently stopped stirring as soon as his potion turned purple, and set his stirrer off to the side. He gathered up his prepared moonstone and dumped it in the center of the cauldron, then quickly grabbed his measured out thorns and tossed those in too.

Now he had to gently add the salamander blood, eight drops of it exactly, one at a time. He waited as the potion lightened after each drop, until it turned mother-of-pearl, quite pretty, after the eighth drop. So they only had one more step then, lovely. Pun intended.
