kalon name: Ciao
potion:
When Ciao lays the book across the breadth of his knees the papers give an interesting shiver. He pats the cover like one might comfort a restless dog, absently reaches with his free hand for the wand he keeps notched in his hair. "Okay," he whispers, speaking low despite the emptiness of the room, bent over the book like he's talking to it. "I have everything you asked for."
The book shifts, flutters its pages like a sigh; and then it slides slowly down the crook between Ciao's knees and falls open naturally to the page he has studied for the past month, to the one worn fine with his impatient hands. It offers no complaints when Ciao exhales and presses his palm to the warm page, when he finally straightens up and sets his wooden wand in the cradle of the book's spine.
He runs his fingers along the title to steady his nerves. "To Know Thy Enemies From Thine Friends", it reads. As best as Ciao can figure it will let him go to school tomorrow with fresh eyes, will show him those people who are untrustworthy, those who aim to talk to him just to tease him, to have something later to gossip about. Ciao, new to this school and briefly infamous for his startling orange hair, could use a radar like this.
He goes over the page one final time, with the mess of his prepared ingredients stalled on his desk.

ingredients ;;
- a childhood memory, freely given
- a sprig of basil
- six (6) bay leaves, finely ground
- a thimble of sugar
- a white raven's borrowed feather
- a shy heart of pure intent
step one ;;
Prepare the fauna. The basil must be steeped in cold water, the bay leaves ground to a thin dust. Place both in a sterling bowl; mix briefly. Slowly sift the sugar through your fingers.
step two ;;
Your memory must be given in physical form; a crayon drawing, a sports ribbon, something of the ike. Press it into the bowl, whatever it may be, and let it soak. When properly saturated, lay the feather over the rim. Do not let it touch your batter until you are ready for step three.
step three ;;
Touch the feather to your lips and state your intent. Do not lie. Dip the end in the batter and draw over both wrists the shape of the waning moon. Let sit for six hours. Do not wash your hands in the interim, or allow these markings to get wet. When six hours have passed, you may rinse it from your skin.
step four ;;
Empty and clean your bowl. Whatever batter has not been used must be given to nature; do not try to reuse any previous ingredients. The feather must be kept close for as long as the caster wishes the spell to work. If properly done, you will intimately know the people around you. This will last for a minimum of three days, and if tended to may last longer.
step five ;;
Scrutinize those few you call friends. You will see their true intentions no matter the disguise. Remember, the feather must be kept on your person, or your sight will not change. Know these peoples' truths.

potion: a potion to communicate with the dead! halloween (samhain) is almost here, and traditionally that’s when the space between the dead and and the living is blurred. for macbeth, it really is, but she has a hard time staying focused when she tries to contact the dead, you see! this potion is a mixture of apple slices, cinnamon, flax seeds, and dandelion root. but there’s something else! it’s bubbling over and has a sickly-sweet smell to it, but macbeth just shakes her head. what else could be in there? whatever it is, wish her luck! she’s tried hard to make this potion perfect.
sometimes it feels like i’ve got a war in my mind,
i wanna get off but i keep ridin’ the ride

"eye of the newt, and wing of bat? oh no- i don't use those kind of ingredients! i only use fresh herbs and fruit!"
marina prefers to only use all-natural, freshly grown, organically sourced ingredients that don't require harming poor animals. she is brewing a potion with fennel, pomegranate seeds, ground sea salt and pureed berries. her potion is designed to cure someone of negative thoughts, and persistent negativity often associated with being depressed or anxious. although, she knows it has little to no actual effect directly, and the thing which helps her customers to cheer up is her bright, flourishing service. she always loves to put on a show while she's making a batch.

potion: "clairvoyance."
have you ever wanted to tell what people's true intentions or thoughts were?
with this spell, you will be able to open your third eye and open one's mind
like a front door. for mental manipulation, see ch. 96
ingredients;
x1 cauldron 3/4 filled with water
x1 frogs eye
x1 "splash of vulnerability."
x3 "drop of clearmindedness."
x2 mixed herbs and spices (see ch. 13)
directions;
1. mix in 1/2 of the "splash of vulnerability" and add 3 drops of "drop of clearmindedness."
2. add the mixed herbs and spices, stir until they're completely melted into the mix.
3. drop the frogs eye.
you're finished! feel free to pour into potion bottles as needed.
how to use;
simply drink the potion, sense your third eye open and stare into the mind of anyone you please.
alani loves to use this potion when she's in public places. she studies psychology, so she finds people's thoughts very
interesting at times. this also helps with discovering people's hidden mental illnesses. alani also likes to know what
people think of her, she's an attention seeker, but the good kind. she's always looking for new friends, and always
tries to improve herself to make others like her.

potion:
"this is my transmogrification potion. yes, a mouthful, but it's not as complicated as you might think. of course, this is one of the rarest spells of them all, but i make it look easy. how? i'm just the best around, sweetheart."
x
description:
"transmogrification: to change or transform in appearance or form, especially strangely or grotesquely. you know the monsters that everyone in this village talks of? well, that's me, of course. i like to scare the children that dare come near my hut in the forest. and sometimes for fun i roam along the edge of the forest to spook them. don't look at me like that; they deserve it for playing such nasty tricks. don't they know better than to mess with a witch?"
x
directions:
"listen carefully, now! i'll only go through the directions once. first, you must fill your cauldron with the sap of the dead trees in this forest. next comes a cat's whisker, a frog's tongue, and an owl's eye -- don't ask me how to get those. lastly, you'll need four drops of water from the river in this forest, and a drop of your own blood. stir slowly and throughly for five minutes exactly. the concoction should turn a dark purple if it's done right. if it isn't completed correctly, the liquid will turn bright orange."
x
product:
"as soon as the five minutes are up, you must drink the potion immediately for it to work; you won't be able to store it away for later use like other potions. within a few seconds, you'll feel your body begin to change and transform into some creature. if you think about a creature you'd like to be, you'll change into some form of it -- the potion isn't very exact. if you don't think about a form, the potion will choose for you! who knows, you may be the new monster of the town! would you like to see how it all works? here, let me demonstrate..."
