Love Potion

Love Potion is a magical substance, or rather a class of magical substances.
==Description==
Love Potions are magical brews which, when drunk or otherwise made to enter an individual's system, cause them to enter a highly suggestible frame of mind where they will fall desperately in love with the first person they then meet. When the person in question is not a plausible target of romantic attraction, this translates as a deep platonic love or loyalty; this can work even with animals.Lord Thymon and the Department of Problem-Solving (2019).The Love Potion (1965).
There exist several types of more or less efficacious Love Potions which different recipes, some of which wear off sooner than others.McDuck in Love (2018). The Love Potion used by the Crew of the Copper-Colored Cupids is obtained by them directly from the goddess Aphrodite, and does not appear to wear off naturally, though methods for undoing Cupid Romanticization have been devised by, among others, the Drove of the Demesmaekerite-Dyed DiscordiasCupid Fact File No. 643 – The Drove of the Demesmaekerite-Dyed Discordias (2019). and the Gang of the Green Gorilla.Cupid Fact File No. 177 — The Green Gorillas (2019).
One recipe of Love Potion discovered and brewed by Zeke Wolf in 1965 contained three pieces of oak bark, an owl's talon, a violet's root and half a snail's shell; the brew had to be mixed continuously for three whole hours, and its effects would wear off five hours after ingestion. Per the instruction read by Zeke, this Potion made its drinkers love the brewer, rather than to just anyone they might come across. A recipe Magica De Spell found in the 2018 New Edition of Sublime Spells For Sublime Sorceresses took barely any time at all to brew, but wore off as soon as the target of the victim's affection left their sights. A short time later, Magica walked past a stall at the annual the Magic Fair where a Love Potion Salesman sold gender-specific Love Potions.The Incredible Ink (2019).
