## Introduction

Potions and Brews for the unwise.

Fill three bottles with water, and set in the pot to boil.

What you add next, what concentrations, and the order determines your intentions.

Life is delicate.

Be wary when crafting your brews, for your hands may hold someone’s life.

If they shake, they could fall, and shatter.

Brew wisely, and responsibly.

## Potions for Good: Pg. 5 - 7

These Potions will be used for healing, health, & restoration.

Some are merely a pick-me-up, and some can be the difference between life & death.

These potions are harmful to the Undead and Unholy.

Brew Safely.

### Potion of Healing:

Ingredients:

* Three Pots of Water
* Hell’s Wart
* Glistering Melon

Set the pots to a rolling boil, and carefully add in the wart. Once mixed, drop in chunks of the glistering melon. Simple and effective.

### Potion of Regeneration (0:45):

Ingredients:

* Three Pots of Water
* Hell’s Wart
* Tears of a Banshee

Heat pots to a strong boil, and mix in the wart. When the water turns a deep red, quickly add the tears and let cool.

The potions effects are the opposite when given to the unholy.

Potions given to those of the living and holy will heal their mortal wounds.

Potions given to those of the dead, or unholy will cause the opposite in suffering and pain.

## Potions for Harm: Pg. 9 - 12

Potions like these are only to be used in certain circumstances.

These are my findings so I do not make mistakes in what creates poisons, acids, and the likes.

**THESE ARE NOT TO BE PLAYED WITH.**

**HANDLE WITH CARE.**

### Brew of Instant Acid:

Ingredients:

* Three Pots of Water
* Hell’s Wart
* (Up to pg 5/10)
* Fermented Spider’s Eye

Follow the recipe on pg 5 or 10. Stir until it swirls, then add the Fermented Eye. Let simmer for an hour.

[Publisher’s Note: Acids should be used for pest control ONLY. Typical Acids are illegal in the majority of countries and are only included in this copy of ‘Druid’s Guide to Alchemy’ for the purpose of pest control, not homicide or assault.

[Disclaimer: the IPCS is not responsible for any harm brought on by the shared knowledge that lies within this book.]

### Potion of Poison (0:45):

Ingredients:

* Three Pots of Water
* Hell’s Wart
* Spider’s Eye

Warm pots until pleasant to the touch, then add Hell’s wart. Once it begins to mix, quickly add crushed Spider’s eye and stir until dissolved.

[Publisher’s Note: Poisons should be used for pest control ONLY. Typical Poisons are illegal in the majority of countries and are only included in this copy of ‘Druid’s Guide to Alchemy’ for the purpose of pest control, not homicide or assault.]

### Potion of Weakening (1:30):

Ingredients:

* Three Pots of Water
* Fermented Spider’s Eye

Heat until bubbling, and add the eye (diced). Stir until the colour darkens.

Side Effect: may cause nausea.

The potions effects are the opposite when given to the unholy.

Potions given to those of the living and holy will cause suffering, and pain.

Potions given to those of the dead, or unholy will cause the opposite in health and quick healing.

## Neutral Brews: Pg. 14 - 23

Potions of the Neutral variety are usually ones that I would consider a tool.

These are ones I sell in stores, and make almost as often as my healing brews.

The effect is in the name.

### Pot of Swiftness (3:00)

Ingredients:

* Three Pots of Water
* Hell’s Wart
* 1 tbsp Sugar

Create your basic Awkward potion, and let boil. Slowly mix in the sugar, and stir quickly.

Liquid will lose viscosity.

### Pot of Slowness (1:30)

Ingredients:

* Three Pots of Water
* Hell’s Wart
* (Up to 14/16)
* Fermented Spider’s Eye

Follow pg. 14 or 16. Once either potion is made, add in Crushed Fermented Eye.

Increase Viscosity.

### Potion of Hare-Hopping (3:00):

Ingredients:

* Three Pots of Water
* Hell’s Wart
* Rabbit’s Foot

Create an Awkward potion. While it boils, remove fur off the foot and add first. The rest follows, then mix. Fur will dissolve.

### Pot of Strength (3:00) and Courage:

Ingredients:

* Three Pots of Water
* Hell’s Wart
* Faux Fire Powder

Create an Awkward Potion. Cool it to the touch, then add the powder. It will quickly begin to boil, so stir well until it stops.

### Brew of Hell-Resistance (3:00):

Ingredients:

* Three Pots of Water
* Hell’s Wart
* Faux Magma Cream

Slather the inside of your pots with the cream using a diluted solution, then add in an awkward potion. Stir individually.

### Potion of Water Breathing (3:00):

Ingredients:

* Three Pots of Water
* Hell’s Wart
* Pufferfish

Create an Awkward potion. Remove spikes from fish, mix in meat.

Will feel like youre drowning after drunk.

### Potion of Night Vision (3:00):

Ingredients:

* Three Pots of Water
* Hell’s Wart
* Golden Carrot

Create an awkward potion, and add the golden carrot diced.

Bright lights hurt.

### Potion of Vanishing (3:00):

**REDACTED WITHIN AETHERAL’S ARDEAN TERRITORIES DUE TO ARDEAN LAW ADDENDUM I, 402.02 & 402.03**

[Publisher’s Note: This specific section is redacted in all copies of ‘Druid’s Guide to Alchemy’ within Aetheral based around the fact that ‘Potion[s] of Vanishing’ are extremely illegal within Ardean Territories, i.e. the majority of Aetheral, and cannot be used for pest control nor as a tool for hunting or espionage. Other alternatives are preferred.]

### Potion of Slow Falling (1:30):

Ingredients:

* Three Pot of Water
* Hell’s Wart
* Spirit’s Wing Membrane

Create an awkward potion, and sprinkle in dried membrane. Potion should feel lighter if correct.

### Brew of The Bold (0:20):

Ingredients:

* Three Pots of Water
* Hell’s Wart
* Crushed Turtle’s Shell

Create an awkward potion. Crush the turtle’s shell with a mortar and pestle, then mix thoroughly.

## Tips: 24 - 27

To make an Awkward Potion, you bring three pots to a boil and mix in Hell’s Wart.

To make a potion last longer, add a sprinkle of Redstone’s Dust.

To make a potion more effective, add a spoonful of Glowstone Dust.

To make a potion tossable, add in a punch of gunpowder.

To make a potion Linger on the ground, add Faux Dragon’s Breath.

Do not mix anything other than Hell’s Wart, and Fermented Spider Eye into water. It will become mundane.

These are what I’ve found in my studies of plants, and other more interesting ingredients. Please use my potions responsibly.

Any more discoveries will be added upon finding, and I hope you can add your own.

Happy brewing.

## Word of Thanks:

I thank my husband for my supplies, and I thank him for testing some of these himself.

He is fine now, and no permanent damage has been done.

Thank you Adeodatus, and apologies for the coffee incident.
