That was his favorite bit about potions... you could tell at any stage if you were going wrong based on the color.

SPOILER!!: Directions

Cope had grown quiet as he worked, something LouAnn picked up on right away and made a mental note of. It probably helped with concentration, which was an aspect of brewing she needed to work on. Getting distracted while measuring and cutting probably wasn't the best idea in the whole world.

LouAnn's eyes fell on the mixture as Cope added pieces of the membrane and the apple cider to the mixture. It was then her turn to add the lionfish heart, so she carefully lifted the minced pieces and lowered them into the cauldron. "Hmm...an iridescent sheen and a light pink to purple cast," she mumbled. "...just one more step after this one."
