Potion

Potions are special liquids prepared by witches and possibly their male counterpart wizards that trigger various magical effects. A few witches, including Professor Lukić, Sucy, and her mother, specialize in potions.
==Description==
Potions are brewed with certain ingredients and a specific process of preparation. Misuse of ingredients or an error in preparation may cause undesirable effects. Some potions are meant to be consumed to be effective, while others can be used to attack the target.
Potions are prepared mainly in fire cauldrons and stored in small bottles. Some potions are required to be used in combination with a spell, but most can do their magical effects without them. Latter variant provides field advantage for magic users who wish to conserve their magic reserves (especially in areas where magic cannot be used freely) or lacking sufficient aptitude in performing magic through traditional means.Little Witch Academia Chronicles, Chapter 5, page 159
Relative to how they are brewed, potions can alternatively be processed into powder-like (ex. Explosive Powder Potion, Weapon-Wand Fusion Powder, and powder variant of Mending Magic Potion) or jell-like substance (ex. Magic Glue and its stronger variant Sealing Glue).Little Witch Academia: Chamber of Time
Certain potions are made specifically as cure for certain diseases which more than often supernatural in nature, such as Greenman Disease Antidote to counter the namesake disease or one to wake those who afflicted with Sleeping Witch Sickness.

==List of Potions==
# 	Name 	Description 	Image
1. 	Festering Potion 	Festering Potion is a potion that can reduce living beings that either touch or consume it into caustic goo. The level of its causticness seem to depend on the quantity of utilized ingredients.
Sucy used one to kill a Minotaur in the first film where she remarked its effect too strong, as the beast's molten body ends up burning through the dungeon's floor. 	
2. 	Poison Gas Potion 	Poison Gas Potion is a potion that evaporates into a cloud of poison upon contact with the air. The gas' tremendous killing ability can be amplified through increasing the dosage of magical energy used in brewing it.
In the first film, Sucy uses the Poison Gas Potion to kill the sealed Briton Red Dragon that escaped its prison and wreaked havoc at the New Moon Tower, but due to the dragon's magic-absorbing ability coupled with the magic in said potion, fails and accelerates its growth further instead. 	
3. 	Mandrake Soup 	Mandrake Soup is a potion which, as its name suggested, made of boiled Mandrake chops and restores the drinker's magic reserves in addition of temporarily bolsters their power at the same. However, the drinker must posssess sufficient mastery over their magic in order to both handle and harness the power increase at its fullest. 
In Terio Teri Manga, Sucy brews this potion out of her 5-year old Mandrake Gora-chan for Akko in order to quickly increase her magic power. Unfortunately, Akko's inexperience with magic sees her comically causing a fiery explosion via. amplified basic Flame Magic spell which destroys much of their dorm room by mistake, leading the red team to receive detention in form of cleaning bathroom in the next day.	
4. 	Puppet Magic Potion 	
Also known as Control Magic Potion, Puppet Magic Potion is a potion for performing Puppet Magic. It has two variants; one that needs to be poured over the target to magically inanimate it under his/her control for a limited amount of time and the other that must be consumed to briefly improve the user's puppet magic performance. The latter's effect only lasted long enough for the user to cast only one mending magic spell, forcing her to ingest more to cast another. Said variant is arguably concocted that way for both discouraging the user from rely on it and for training purposes. 	<tabber>
Unconsumable=
5. 	Rope Cage Potion 	Rope Cage Potion is a potion devised to perform the namesake spell by pouring it on the target. As with unconsumable variant of Puppet Magic Potion in Sucy's disposal, it is categorized by purplish coloration and some portion of it evaporates while being applied, though this could be a cosmetic choice in her part. 	
6. 	Petrifying Poison Potion 	Petrifying Poison Potion, or simply known as Petrifying Poison is a potion that devised to turn the target into quartz-like stone upon contact. Not surprisingly, its key ingredient being the poison in Cockatrice feather.
In "Pappiliodya", Sucy is shown working on this potion and reached a breakthrough after testing it on a spider. It's unknown whether she would complete the manageable form of this potion as with Poison Gas Potion. 	
7. 	Nutrient Potion 	Nutrient Potion, or simply called NutrientLittle Witch Academia Chronicles, Chapter 5, page 158, is a potion that activates and accelerates the grow of vegetation.

8. 	Frog Leg Potion 	Also known as Frog Leg Juice, Frog Leg Potion is a potion that upon contact with the target, grows one or more frog-like legs capable of jumping relatively long distances. The color of this potion is pinkish red.

10.	Explosive Powder Potion 	Explosive Powder Potion, or simply called Explosive Powder is a potion that dried into powder form with volatile properties akin to gunpowder true to its namesake. Unlike the latter, however, the potion's powder state is as light as ash or smoke particles thus stays in the air around the target(s) like a cloud, a feature the user can exploit as a form of deceptive smokescreen. Once the target(s) got surrounded by the powder cloud, the user can ignite it to trigger a violent explosion that burns the enemy. Not surprisingly, the use of this potion requires keen senses to read the air currents, the insight to read the targets' movements, tactical experience to not also engulf one's allies in the explosion, and careful attention for the timing of the ignition, especially if it being used on the ground instead of while flying where such requirement being less strict.
In "Luna Nova and the White Dragon", Sucy used one to combat Fafnir's Robot Dragons.

13.	Ultra Super Energy Drink 	Ultra Super Energy Drink is the experimental ultimate potion brewed by Sucy in Sleeping Sucy. It's supposedly gives the user greater magic ability than usual, but only knocks Sucy out for a bit and inflicted her with Sleeping Witch Sickness instead. Sucy's intention for this potion was too simply have greater magic power so she can find more mushrooms. Before testing it to herself, she considered to use it on Akko, but eventually against it upon foreseeing that it will fully awaken the Japanese witch's magic potential and would made her life boring. 	
14.	Weapon-Wand Fusion Powder 	Weapon-Wand Fusion Powder is a potion that allows the user to combine her wand with a weapon/item to upgrade the said weapon/item into better version of it on the same vein with Weapon-Wand Fusion Spell. Only powder variant of said potion that shown so far.

In Little Witch Academia: Chamber of Time, Akko and Sucy made this nutrient to purify the water in the water stream at Cafeteria Vestibule under behalf of Pisces so she can travel outside Luna Nova out of boredom. Unfortunately, that, coupled with the Cactus Nutrient's unintended side effect where the water becomes pink in color, resulted the unintended misunderstanding with Finnelan who mistakes Akko about to hurt Pisces again. After clearing up the matter with Finnelan and Holbrooke, Pisces reveals to Akko that she found another lesser Pollux Magic key while exploring the stream and gives it to her.	
20.	Ancient Dragon Potion 	A special potion that endows the drinker temporary ability to both read and understand Dragonese. It requires a number of fangs of Miniature Dragon to brew. 	
21.	Experimental Poison Gas Bomb	A much more devastating variant of Poison Gas potion which still in experimental stage but used by Sucy anyway as her trump card in Little Witch Academia: Chamber of Time game. This potion composed of two separate concoctions; the main concoction that is bright pink in color, and the cyan one that acts as the catalyst. By mixing a drop of the latter into the former, the main concoction will violently boil before explodes in the matter of few seconds, damaging and poisoning everything and everyone within the blast radius. Even so, the blast caused little to no harm to Sucy thanks to her acquired immunity to poisons beforehand other than slight disorientation.

If the powder variant of this potion got mixed with at least one Grave Mushroom, it will trigger a green explosion of necromantic gas which then seeps into a nearby dead body (even if the dead body in question is buried few feet under the soil) and revive him/her as a Zombie, something that Akko discovered when she accidently revived Mr. Holbrooke when attempting to fix his tombstone.

==Trivia==
*It's interesting to note that potions in Little Witch Academia series can be utilized in more versatile manner in addition of being consumed, be it as a weapon (ex. Poison Gas Potion), spilled/applied onto objects to bewitch them (ex. unconsumabke variant of Puppet Magic Potion), or processed into gel or powder state (ex. Mending Magic powder, Sealing Glue) all relative to their intended purpose. Potions in other fantasy works such as Harry Potter by contrast are strictly limited to provide buffs and other beneficial effects to the drinker with a handful of exceptions.
