If you know what you're doing as far as rituals and spells, potions are nigh worthless. They're generally only used to strengthen a spell, or as a different way of utilizing a spell.
If you get really experienced with ritual magic then you'll find you don't need potions to achieve the results you want.

Well, it's like making tea, but potions aren't meant to drink.

Boil the water, stick the herbs in, let it steep, drain the herbs, instant potion.  Empower as desired.

Disclaimer here, if you drink it and get sick, don't blame me.  Especially if you use TOXIC herbs.

How you use it then?  I don't know. I prefer to do things differently.

You should be more specific in describing how would you like the potion to work? Is it for a disease or what else?

Sorry for me laughing, but this is sooo funny. Maybe you should find some other way, first? Magik is not the only answer for problems, it should be your last resort, not the first one.

No wonder they got migraine, herbs are not for fun, you should know better than that. People who use herbs for something, medicine or poison, first teach all they can about them....  all herbs can be equally good as medicine or poison, you should watch carefully on the amount you mix....

Ok, ok, I wont laugh any more, but at the first time I read it it WAS hilarious. Maybe you simply had a wrong recipe?

Gee, hon, people study herbalism all their lives, and still admit there are some they dont know of, or what are they for. I suggest you try with the simple ones first. Like, try the medicine ones, those for temperature, pain and neurosis. When you train those, then try more. You cant expect to be shaman all at once.

Or you should try different sort of spells, although, they all need years of training and strong will to really work. PM me if you are interested in something else. Or simply write here.  :wink:
