Pure rock salt. It was really pretty to look at, and a shame that Scarlett had to finally ADD it to her cauldron. Still, it had to be done - so she took it carefully in her hands (still with her gloves on, because why not) and slowly added each one, one by one, until all fifteen had been added to her potion. Now she had to stir it counter clockwise again. She took off her gloves and took the stirrer in her hand, plopping it in her potion, and beginning to stir once again. Five minutes of this...her arm was gonna hurtttt after this...

Once five LONGGG minutes had passed (she hated waiting, she was so impatient!) she finally had a YELLOW potion. Yes! That was what was SUPPOSED to happen! WOOOO! Although...was it primrose? She had no clue. She didn't know what that was. So she hoped for the best and continued forward.

She took the Wiggentree bark and slowly laid all five pieces on top of the potion, taking care not to touch it with her fingers, which took a bit longer than she had anticipated. Then, she took the stirrer and slowly pushed each one to the sides of the cauldron. Why that mattered, she didn't know...but she wasn't here to question things. She took her wand and pointed at the cauldron, waiting for the water to boil on the medium heat. While waiting, she got a bit noisy and looked around at the other potions in the area....they all kind of looked similar to hers? So hopefully she was doing well.

It was now boiling, so she picked up the five betony leaves and held them over her potion, crushing the brittle leaves in her hands and sprinkling the bits into the potion. WHOOOOSH! Just like that, the yellow potion had turned blue. She waited another five minutes before taking her wand and waving it over the flame, extinguishing it. Then she leaned back in her seat and looked over her notes while she waited for it to cool for fifteen minutes. Once that had lapsed (which again felt like foreverrrr) she took her potion and began to put it into her vials using the pipette. Once it had all been divvied up into her vials and her vials had all been labeled, she scrapped the dreg (ewwww gross) out of the cauldron and put it in a tin box with a label on it as well.

She had to stop really quickly to consult her notes on what the Asclepius Staff looked like, but then took her wand out and waved it over the tin in the desired shape. "Venenum Inverto!" she muttered as she waved her wand over it, hoping that was successful.

Wow. Somehow, she'd managed to catch up with everyone!
