Ok three minutes was up, so Ace took to lower the heat on his burner which was made to simmer for two more minutes. In the meantime he prepped his gloves again and then removed the seal from the container that held the fireseeds he picked up from the library. Dropping those in, he could hear the fireseeds sizzle as they swam in the solution. He grabbed the tweezers and dropped the rock salt piece by piece. In goes the glass stirrer again, and he commanded it to stir in the same direction as before for five minutes. Well it may be a whole lot of waiting but hey the automation does allow him to actually chill like look at Vi some more.
About halfway through the stirring process he can see that his solution is turning a nice shade of yellow. This thing is actually starting to look yummy. Color changes also means its time for the Wiggentree bark to join the party in the pot, and he intro'd them in as instructed before cranking the heat back up to medium. Shouldnt be long before these start to boil yeah?
He cracked open the seal on the container for the Betony leaves they collected earlier, and crushed them over the solution which is now in a rolling boil, and almost immediately the solution turned into a nice shade of blue. Seems like he's right on track. Five more minutes of this and he could start winding everything down. In the meantime, he should go prep the labels for his containers....

Potion: Antidote to Uncommon Poisons No. 005 (Hospital Grade)
Effect(s): This healing potion cures the effects brought about uncommon poisons. This formula has been altered to have a stronger effect, covering a wider range of poisons known to wizard-kind.
Ingredients: 50 ml Distilled Water- 14 ml Liquefied Antimony
-
32 grams Stargrass - 302 ml Boom Berry Juice
- 23 drops Essence of Dittany
- 5 pieces Fire Seeds
- 15 pieces Pure Rock Salt
- 5 strips Wiggentree Bark
- 5 pieces Fresh Betony Leaves
Procedure: Clean all equipment to be used: Cauldron, Scales, Stirrers, Phials, Etc.;- Bring 50 ml Distilled Water to a boil in medium heat;
- Add finely chopped 32 grams of Stargrass. Use a silver dagger for this step;
- Add 302 ml Boom Berry Juice and stir counter-clockwise for three minutes pause 5 seconds, and continue to stir the solution counter-clockwise for another two minutes. Use a glass stirrer for this step;
- Remove the stirrer from the cauldron, and add 23 drops of Essence of Dittany into the solution;
- Let 3 minutes pass, and then adjust the heat to low. Slowly add 5 fire seeds into the solution after 2 minutes. Use your dragon-hide gloves for this procedure;
- Add 15 pieces of pure rock salt one by one, and stir the solution counter-clockwise for five minutes until the solution turns primrose yellow. This will indicate that the solution has been activated to counter the effect of poisoning;
- Lay 5 strips of Wiggentree bark on the surface of the solution, and slowly push it one by one to the inner wall of your cauldron. Turn the heat back to medium and wait for the potion to boil;
- Once bubbles appear, crush 5 fresh Betony Leaves with your hand, and add it to the boiling liquid. The potion should turn a shade of Sapphire Blue;
- Wait five minutes, and then turn off the heat. Let the potion cool for 15 minutes, and then bottle it in glass phials using a clean Pasteur Pipette (dropper). Label your potions;
- Scrape off the dreg at the bottom of the cauldron, and pack it in a tin box. Draw the Asclepius Staff with your wand, while saying the incantation: Venenum Inverto (nullify the poison).
Notes of interest:- The quantity of each ingredient is a product of Five; the number for Healing;
- The stirring movement is counter-clockwise; activating the healing properties of each ingredient, ultimately reversing the effects of the poison;
- The healing properties of each ingredient becomes more potent because of the presence of Fire Seeds. Said ingredient is born of the alchemical element fire, which represents life;
- Salt is one of the Three Principles in Alchemy or one of the component s of the Universal Language of Nature. Naturally it is a product of the Earth and Water elements—the same elements associated with humans and beings. Salt can preserve (the body of the victim) and corrodes (to nullify the poison. In this context, it will absorb the dark/evil energies present), thus making the potion more potent;
- The dreg can be used together with the potion to enhance its effect. The Asclepius Staff* should be drawn on the victim's tongue using the dreg while reciting the incantation: Venenum Inverto
*The Asclepius Staff is an alchemical symbol (and a universal medical symbol) for healing (or doctors in the muggle world).
