Potions are risky and can have disastrous consequences if not thoroughly attended to or ingredients are not properly researched. One must be thoroughly skilled and of a calm and steady disposition. Especially, if the potion is being used to help a magical creature who is sick or injured. One of the most difficult aspects to treating a magical creature compared to a human is that we are unable to know if a potion will

There was once a beautiful, young maiden who possessed prodigious magical skill. Though the Maiden’s kinsfolk died before she was able to talk or walk, she lived a fulsome life with many servants and gold in surplus, and she was highly commended by the townspeople in the kingdom below her manor.

Inês de Castro was raised in Galicia, as far from the war front as one could be in Spain, as a witch in a family
A Midsummer Night’s Dream Have we not all fall in love once before? A Midsummer Night’s Dream by Williams Shakespeare is one of the most interesting plays I have ever read. Although, I have seen many people fall in love before, this play has such an unrealistic and beautiful way to describe love that I think everybody would want to find love.

In potions, I would add brandy and use it as a stomachic infusion, emmenagoque and a stimulant. Long term use of this potion may help cure hysteric complaints and hypochondriasis. Even though I know that pure wormwood oil is extremely poisonous, wormwood potions are edible if one takes three to five milligram (mg) daily or as

Shakespeare and the author of Tristan and Iseult display a vastly different role of love potions in relation to the concept of love in their works.

Then the old man talks about the love potion as he says, “This is just a dollar” (Collier). The ironic part about the two potions is the

In the book, they drink the love potion when they are still on the boat and have “dropped anchor by an island”
