Mana Potions

Mana Healing Potion

Mana Healing Potion Stats:

Difficulty Level: Extremely Advanced
Use: A mild healing potion that specifically relieves some of the strain mana puts on the body of the user. It will lessen the effect on the body during the healing stage of mana, but will not speed up healing time.
Side Effects: One notable side effect is the euphoric feeling one may get when taking the potion with full mana health. And for those who have take large quantities over years, it can make the body build a high tolerance towards the potion, meaning it will be a harder strain on the body when recovering from magic use.
Appearance: Shimmery White, that looks similar to liquid pearl but has the consistency of water.

Mana Healing Potion Ingredients:

Apparatus Needed:

-  2 Cups of Snow water
-  3 Skullcap Leaves
-  6 Feverfew Petals
-  1 Pandanus Leaf
-  Salt
-  1 Pearl
-  Knife, or scalpel.
-  Stirring Rod
-  Cauldron
-  Mortar and Pestle
-  Bottle(s)

 

Recipe for Mana Healing Potion:

-  First you need to slice the pandanus leaf and then add it with the snow water into the cauldron.
-  Let it simmer on a low heat and stir it clockwise for around 30 minutes. It should start give off a very specific calming scent and effect after a while.
-  Take your mortar and pestle and use it to ground the feverfew petals and skullcap leaves. Once done, add it to the cauldron.
-  Stir clockwise at a steady rhythm, however increase the heat from low to medium until the colour shifts to a milky white.
-  Using the mortar and pestle again, ground up the pearl and only add a small pinch of it, alongside a sprinkle of salt to the potion and continue stirring. The colour will start turning pearly white, or a shimmery white look when it is ready.
-  Keep stirring clockwise at a steady rhythm while brewing at medium heat until it slowly turns a milky white colour.
-  Bottle it up and keep it stored in somewhere dark and cool for 2 months. Once the two months have passed, check the consistency of the potion, it should be watery, and the shimmer should be more noticeable. If it is then you have successfully brewed the Mana Healing Potion.

 

Mana Quick-Recovery Potion

Mana Quick-Recovery Potion Stats:

Difficulty Level: Extremely Advanced

Use: As the name indicates the potion will speed up the mana recovery time. Which means that the so-called hangover time will be shorter.

Side Effects: The side-effect of the potion is the increased hangover-effect. Instead of experiencing the hangover over a longer time, the potion forces the user to experience the recovery hangover effect compressed into a shorter time. This results in the physical experience of the recovery is worse on the user than experiencing it at a normal rate. For this reason, the Mana quick-recovery potion is only used in situations, where time is of the utmost importance.
Appearance: It is a dark blue potion, with a consistency like yoghurt.

Mana Quick-Recovery Potion Ingredients:

Apparatus Needed:

-  1 cup of Moon water
-  11 Mint leaves
-  1 ounce Lightning glass
-  1 handful of Firefox fungi
-  ½ cup goat milk
-  Alembic
-  Stirring Rod
-  Cauldron
-  Mortar and Pestle
-  Bottle(s)

 

Recipe for Mana Quick-Recovery Potion:

- Remember not to take it off the heat too early or it will start to clump and become useless. -  Firstly, add 11 mint leaves to the alembic so the oil can be extracted.
-  While that is happening, pour the goat milk into the cauldron, followed by the extracted oil, and put it over a high heat for a short time.
-  Once the mixture starts to boil, turn the heat to low, and then proceed to stir three times clockwise and once anti-clockwise.
-  Using a mortar and pestle, crush the lightning glass and then add it alongside the firefox fungi into the cauldron.
-  Let everything simmer until the colour turns a dark blue.
Remember! Do not take it off the heat too early or your potion will start to clump up, making it useless.
