	Chapter 1 A Treatise on Potions Potions (Latin potio, 'beverage') are magical mixtures commonly brewed in cauldrons and used to create various effects on the drinker. A wizard or witch who specialises in potion brewing is known as a potioneer. Potions are brewed from ingredients with magical properties. Potions can be used as medicine, lethal poison, or give the drinker any effect from strength enhancement to immunity to flames. Potions are not necessarily used by drinking, as some can be applied by physical contact or create an effect simply by being created, such as the Regeneration Potion. One very important thing to remember about potions is "A clean cauldron keeps potions from becoming poisons." The science of potion making includes the use of words that are specific to this art. A brew is a liquid mixture made by steeping, soaking, or boiling solid ingredients in water. A concoction is, simply, a mixture of ingredients. A draught or draft is one serving or portion of a potion. The word draft indicates the substance is drawn from a cask rather than from a closed bottle. An elixir is a sweetened, aromatic solution used as medicine. A philtre is a potion designed to enchant or charm the drinker. A poison is a potion intended to cause harm or death to the drinker. A tincture is a benign medicine preserved in alcohol. The supplies for potions are universal for all potions. Silver, brass, copper or pewter Cauldron Glass or crystal phials Silver Knife Mortar and pestle Scales Various ingredients for specific potions A wand

Allow the potion to simmer for 30 minutes. Add four rat spleens to the cauldron. Add three minced daisy roots to the cauldron. Add five drops of leech juice. Add two more Shrivelfigs to the cauldron.
