Art was trying not to rush through things, or he was likely to mess it up. As it was, he was already late. To his own lesson. Madame Curie was sleeping in the pocket of his cardigan, so she wasn't aware of their tardiness.

He came through the door and looked around to see all the faces. "H-hello everyone, sorry about the delay." He set the containers he was holding onto the bench, and lined them all up. "Today I thought we'd brew something to help with exams and your studies. It's my own little creation, and it's called the Concentration Concoction. There's lots of leaves and things in here, and whilst it's not a particularly difficult one to brew, the results are varied with the concentration of each brewer at the time of brewing it." This probably didn't make much sense at the moment. He took the lids off all the containers; Ginkgo Biloba leaves, Ginkgo Biloba seeds, tea light candles, Hyssop, Peppermint, Basil, Rosemary, Citrus and Lavender leaves, the lavender buds and squares of cheesecloth.

"Part of this potion requires some.. some uhh Trataka. Does anyone know what that is? Has anyone done it before?" It was a bit more of a divination practice than a potion practice, but it was a tried and true practice for the older man. PLUS, it made a very big difference to this potion of his.

Art set up by putting a stack of books on his desk, and placed a tea light candle on the top. "The candle is height with my eyes, and it's at about an arms distance," he said whilst holding an arm out in front of him. "It's very easy, and-and you just gaze into the candle until your eyes need to blink, then you hold your eyes closed and focus on the imprint of the light in your eye. Then when that starts to fade, you open your eyes and do it again." He gave a brief demonstration. "The point is to concentrate on the candle. That's what will help. Does anyone know why this practice, which really," he chuckled, "has nothing to do with potion making, would be part of this potion?"

OOC: There's three questions asked here. You can attempt an answer at any number, or even none if you don't want to. I'll post again in 12ish hours.
