The Doclopedia #114
Let’s start off with an easy potion that anyone can make in the safety of their enchanted tower laboratory.
Potions: The Elixir Of Shrinking
Ingredients
1 cup mouse toenail clippings
1 teaspoon black rose petals
1 teaspoon fig syrup cooked under a quarter moon
2 gallons water
1 ½ cups white wine
3 drops of pixie sweat
Combine water and wine in a 5 gallon cast iron cauldron that has been washed in ice water three times. Place on a fire made of olive wood logs. Bring to a rolling boil.
Using a clean spoon carved from the thigh bone of a yak, stir in the toenail clippings, rose petals and fig syrup. Always stir counter clockwise for precisely 27 stirs.
Reduce to a simmer.
Remove your clothing and dance the Dwarven Three Step for 5 minutes.
Add the pixie sweat and stir rapidly in a clockwise direction for 33 stirs.
Allow potion to cool to air temperature overnight, then spend the next day reducing it to 1/10 volume.
Cool and store in a stoneware bottle.
Makes 6 doses.
