The Art of Potion Making

Twelve Uses for Dragon's Blood

There are many, many types of dragon's blood. The top three that come to mind are the Norweigian ridgeback, the Chinese Fireball and the Hungarian Horntail. I personally used these for my own personal uses, but they are for more than making it seem like a murderous event has taken a place.

Use One: All Purpose Cleaner

Any type of dragon's blood is corrosive if boiled down to a thick paste, about the consistency of molasses. One must simply apply it to a surface and rub vigorously for ten seconds. Then, you will hve a clean surface.

Use Two: Coagulant

The weaker variations of dragon's blood can be used for various medical reasons, one including coagulancy. Coagulant is defined as something that allows you to stop bleeding from a cut or scrape. One must simply dab a few drops of dragon's blood on the wound and it will scab over within a matter of moments.

Use Three: Antiinflammatory.

I believe everyone, at some point in time, has been running through a patch of wildflowers barefooted, and stepped on a patch of nettles. With dragon's blood, one must simply dab some onto his or her feet or any part of the body inflamed, and viola. The inflammation is gone.

Use Four: Antiviral

Dragons blood can be used as an antiviral lotion as well. Antivirality is defined as destroying germs on contact, and this is exactly what Dragons blood does.

Use Five: Wood Varnish

Dragon's blood can also be used as a wood varnish, giving it a rather attractive blood-red look to the wood.

Use Six: Photoengraver

For the perfect movement in magical photos, photographers use dragon's blood. There are some substitutions, though, and can be found in the Ministry's log.

Use Seven: Ink

Dragon's blood is a very nice looking red ink, used all over the world in lavish areas to grade papers, sign letters, and anything of the sort.

Use Eight: Cures Diseases

Dragon's blood, can cure a few known diseases, the one being most known is rust lung. However, whilst being treated with dragon's blood, one must take it in small doses, because sometimes the body will over coagulate and stop the blood from running.

Use Nine: Strengthening Potions

Dragon's blood can sometimes be used in strengthening potions, however re'em blood is
more effective in my matter. However, if you wish your potion to be strong, but not as strong as it could be, dragons blood is definitely an option.

Tenth Use: Love potions

There is something binding about dragons blood. That is why it is used in love potions. It symbolizes srentgh in courage in a relationship. However, this is a misnomer ingredient because love potions cannot create love, only lust.

Use Eleven: Ritual Magic.

In places all over the world, dragon's blood is used to summon the dead to speak, not forever mind you, and is still used in Africa today.

Use Twelve: Alchemy

During my short lived quest for eternal life, I found that dragon's blood is used in a most crazy subject of magic: Alchemy. It is moreso used in a notable stone: The Philosopher's Stone. However, dragon's blood is but one of hundreds of plants and animals to make it.



Potion Ingredients and Their Properties

A

Abyssinian Shrivelfigs - A purple colored plant whose purple juiced berries produce a great magical ingredient that is used in many offshoots of the Shrinking Solution. Originating in Abyssinia, this ingredient is widely accepted as a home remedy for magical swelling that does not respond to ice.

Aconite (Wolfsbane Potion) - A plant whose leaves are used in the famous Wolfsbane potion, as a deterrent from transforming into a werewolf. The genus Aconitum is found all over the world, however only one species is used in the production of magical concoctions: Aconitum napellus, found in Britain and Eastern and Western Europe. This is not the poisonous Aconite growing in fields but is a medicinal one. It is also called Anthora, the Wholesome Aconite, or Wholesome Wolfsbane. In medieval times a decoction of the root was used to wash the parts bitten by venomous creatures. It is also used in the Wolfsbane potion.

Acromantula Venom - Venom that comes from the large species of magical, sentient spiders that inhabit many areas in the east, as well as the Forbidden forest of Hogwarts. This venom is almost an uncurable poison in and of itself highly useful in concocted poisons and worth a lot on the market.

Alihosty - A plant that can be used to induce hysteria. Found in certain caves around Europe and the Americas, this plant has been for generations used as a psychoactive substance that, after repeated use, leaves the user unable to comprehend the world around them. It can be used medically, however, when combined with ingredients to counteract the hysteria side effects, as alihosty contains many medicinal properties - most inherently stimulating the central and peripheral nervous systems by resheathing the axons of individual neurons.

Aloe (Deflating Draft) - Aloe has many medicinal properties and has been used in antiquity as an anti-inflammatory and a combatant towards scrapes, cuts, bruises and burns. Magically speaking it has many properties such as the essences of relative luck and karma.

Amaranthus - This plant has a multitude of other names: Flower-gentle, Flower-velure, Floramor, Velvet-flower, Prince's Feather and Love Lies Bleeding. It is classified as an astringent.

Angelica - It's said to resist poisons and comfort the heart, blood and spirits. It is widely used as an anti-dyspeptic and for flatulence.

Armadillo bile (Shrinking Solution) - This ingredient can add humor to a potion. However, this ingredient must be added to potions after they cool down in order to ensure it doesn't evaporate. A yellow, viscous liquid that has the omnipotent stench one associates with rotten eggs.

Ashwinder Eggs - An ingredient that has been used in love potions for a millennia. As an ashwinder lays its eggs inside of a volcano, special harvesters with heat-protecting cloaks harvest them. They are a class-b tradable good and are very expensive. They give a love potion’s target a burning obsession for the one that gives the target the love potion. *This ingredient is kept frozen.

Asphodel (Draught of Living Death) - Only the roots are used in potions; used as a strong calming ingredient.

B

Bay - Also known as laurel, bay is a herb long used for its properties of protection, aiding psychic powers, healing, purification and strength. It is mainly used in purifying draughts and for ensuring protection, though it is also often used in strengthening solutions, for both the sick and those whose line of work is rather dangerous.

Beetle Eyes - As with all eye-type ingredients, these are used in prediction potions, which are banned in all gaming environments. They give the user a special insight into the area he or she desires, and complements them with other seer ingredients to get the effects desired.

Belladonna - A poisonous plant, used in many potions. Will not kill you if ingested in its raw state, so it is usually used to strengthen other stronger poisonous ingredients. Also known as nightshade. Leaves are a stringent green and the flowers, being the most poisonous are purple or pink.

Bezoar - A stone taken from the stomach of a goat and it will save you from most poisons, however will not cure various ones, so it is not smart to use this as an end-all for all poisons.

Billywig Stings - A blue stinger from the Billywig insect. Used in most magical sweets that pertain to small amounts of levitation as well as good luck and karma. These can add comic value to a plethora of potions.

Boomslang - A snake, found in the forests of Brazil, whose skin is used in the Polyjuice potion. Gives elasticity to the potion, which allows the skin to stretch and form to a new shape.

Borage - What would the 'stirrup-cup' be without the pretty borage flowers sitting in it? While used as a salad herb, borage also has other uses. Borage is renowned for being able to restore courage. It is usually classified as a diuretic and used for colds, fevers and lung complaints.

Bouncing Bulbs - Used in many joke potions, a bouncing bulb looks like a miniature eggplant. The bouncing is caused by an overflow of magical value inside the viscous liquid that is held within. When administered to a being, it creates a jumping effect, much like a Mexican jumping bean to the user. The inability to stop moving is a key observation when diagnosing the use of bouncing bulbs.

Bubotuber Pus - The bubotuber is high in salicylic acid, a key ingredient in many wart and boil removers. Once this acid is removed and translated over to a usable compound, it is excellent in removing warts and boils of all shapes and sizes.

Bulbadox Powder - A lime green powder that when put on a person’s skin causes them to break out in a large smattering of pus filled boils. This is the potion equivalent of the spell Furnunculus and can be reversed by applying a compound from bubotuber pus.

Carduus Benedictus - Also known as Blessed Thistle or Holy Thistle, this annual plant is an extremely important medicinal herb. It's mainly used as a tonic but also promotes sweating so is useful in fevers.

Caterpillar (Shrinking Solution) - As with a caterpillar’s metamorphosis, the ability to change form, shape or size is represented by the user of caterpillars in potionmaking.

Chamomile (Basic Sleeping Draft) - Chamomile is a great soothing ingredient. It crosses magical borders between the muggle world and magical world, being used by both in helping people sleep. When combined in the Basic Sleeping Draught, it is easily made to multiply its effects by fifteen thousand.

Comfrey - Also known as BoneKnit or KnitBone, this wonderful herb helps to heal the most terrible of wounds, as well as hasten the healing of broken bones. It is a valuable demulcent and healing herb. When used in combination with other herbs such as dittany, it becomes a quite powerful healing salve.

Crocodile - Crocodile parts can be used in many instances. For example, the crocodile is known to be aggressive, and the part of its brain responsible for aggression, the medulla oblongata, can be chopped and used for an Aggro Solution. Use your best judgement when using these parts.

Dittany (white) - A plant whose juice has many medicinal properties, essence of dittany is used to heal some of the deepest cuts. Can salvage cut veins and arteries. This plant looks like it’s covered in sugar crystals, however these crystals are the outward production of healing oils produced naturally by the plant.

Dragon saliva (Swelling Solution) - A very SPICY ingredient. It causes extreme inflammation due to the several inflammatory compounds present in most dragon species.
