Draught of the Living Death

Chapter 4
Now, the effect of this potion, Draught of the Living Death, is a very deep sleep. Let's say that a person who drinks even a drop has his waist hanging on a very thin thread. It´s very difficult to prepare.

You need:

- A standard size cauldron (preferably pewter)
- A 150 fl. Becker. oz (once fluid)
- A 50 fl graduated cylinder. oz.
- A test tube
- One teaspoon as a 250 fl measuring spoon. oz.
- Stirring rod
- Dropper

Ingredients:

- Standard potioning water
- Powdered Root of Asphodel
- Infusion of Wormwood
- Valerian root
- A Sopophorous bean
- A Sloth brain


Preparation:

1. Chop the sopoforous bean
2. Pour in 250 fl.oz. of water and add 5 ounces of African sea salt to the beaker. Set the glass aside after all the water has been added. Be careful not to shake or move the glass.
3. Leave the water and salt to rest for five minutes.
4. Slowly pour all the water into the cauldron.
5. With your left hand use the graduated cylinder to obtain 40 fl.oz. of wormwood essence.
6. With your right hand, hold the boiler at a slight angle and pour ten drops (20 fl. Oz.) Of wormwood essence.
7. Now, with your left hand, hold the cauldron at a slightly different angle and pour another ten drops of wormwood essence.
8. Chop three valerian roots in small square pieces. After cutting, transfer it to a glass containing water. Leave to rest for five minutes. Your potion should be similar to a currant colored liquid.
9. Carefully pour the juice of the sleeping bean into the cauldron
10. Add seven drops of reduced liquid from the glass, make sure there are no traces or fragments of valerian root.
11. Mix the potion ten times clockwise, your potion should be turned a light shade of lilac.
12. With your right hand stir the potion counterclockwise until the potion becomes clearer than the water was, each stir should take about two and a half seconds.
13. Slowly pour seven square pieces of valerian root.
14. Stir the potion ten times counterclockwise.
15. Add 150 fl.oz. of root powder of asphodel.
16. Hold the cauldron with your right hand, with your left hand gently mix the potion ten times counterclockwise and eight times clockwise.
17. Leave the potion to settle for about two and a half minutes.
18. Add a small piece of valerian root.
19. If the potion has a color that goes around pale pink, the preparation has been done correctly and the potion is finished.

Notes:

- The Sopophorous bean should be crushed with a silver dagger, not cut, as it releases juices more efficiently in that manner.
- Stir anticlockwise seven times and clockwise once instead.
