Noah picked up the pen that was tucked behind his ear and quickly jotted down a simple note directly on his book. After the 7-minute mark, he added the first three jobberknoll feathers gently into his cauldron, and took a peek a few seconds later. So far, so good...no explosions. Yet. At least his potion started turning into a nice shade of purple...but not as dark as he hoped. After the 7th minute mark passed, he added the other three jobberknoll feathers into the mixture, and twisted the knob on his burner halfway through, setting it to medium heat.

One by one, three teaspoons worth of armadillo bile were added, noting that the colour now shifted from purple to blue. At this point, Noah was becoming impatient at how the colour of the potion wasn't exactly the correct shade. He knew that made a huge difference. Was it the fluxweed? Did he chop it too well? He then stirred his potion anti-clockwise with the metal stirring rod, and then carefully added the runespoor egg. Eyeing the clock up front, Noah counted the minutes and seconds forwards, marking the 7th minute from when he stopped stirring. While he waited, he took the time to re-write his notes on his actual notebook for later's revision, glancing at the clock from time to time as he did so.

With seven seconds to spare, Noah got his wand ready from his holster and hovered it just a few centimetres from his cauldron's lip. 3...2...1. "Recordo." a nice circle-like wand movement was done clockwise over his potion was performed, after which, he reached for his aconite roots with his gloved hand and added them one at a time.

Noah stepped aside for any explosion, but was at least pleased to see blue smoke emit from his cauldron. Again, not as faint as he'd hoped, but at least there was no kaboom this time around.
