Blink-of-an-Eye Potion
Unlike our simple potion in lesson 1, this potion doesn't come with specific step-by-step directions. Anyone can follow a recipe correctly, but do you have what it takes to actually become a chef? I'm not going to tell you how to make this potion, or even what the end result should be. The ingredients are listed in their correct amounts, but not in their correct order. The only tip I will give you is to not add the water too soon.
((Yes, you heard right. Because apparently you people lack the ability to realize this is a lesson, and you are supposed to be learning. Every single student (well... except for Gabe who doesn't count) nailed the last potion. Which is completely unbelievable, absolutely no fun, and, well, not going to be tolerated again. The goal of this lesson is that NO ONE is going to get it right. So you might as well show me you can at least be creative enough to mess up. I'm making this task impossible, and it's going to be impossible. If you can't handle not being a Mary Sue around here, drop the class. Or better yet, leave the guild.))
