⚗️ MASTER ALCHEMIST'S WISDOM

"The key to great alchemy is patience, precision, and a healthy respect for volatile reagents.
A rushed potion is a failed potion. A mislabeled potion is a dangerous potion.
And never, ever taste-test something that glows in the dark."

- From "Fundamentals of Brewing" by Tiberius Flamel

Handle with care - Some potions bite back
