Potion Brewing is the skill to mix potions and elixirs with magical properties.
Overview[]
It is one of the basic powers possessed by witches and warlocks, as well as several other magical beings, including practitioners. Only those who possess magical power will be able to brew potions with magical properties, as potions created by mortals will not be infused with magic.
Most of the time potions are brewed in a cauldron or pot that is usually over a heat source, resembling soups or stews. This is very prevalent when Piper was inspired by Melody, where she had multiple pots on the stove full of boiling liquids.[1] Although, mainly liquid, potions come in a variety of forms such as gels[2], powders[3], and candies[4].
Certain potions require spells to be fully effective, evident by the spell to summon a Witch Doctor.[5]
Limitations[]
Brewing potions requires deep knowledge on how herbs and specific ingredients work. For instance, burdock roots and eyes of newt cause an explosion if added together. If the mixture is not properly made, the effects could be catastrophic.
