Basic Potion Making Book with Margin Notes, Fully Readable Replica, A5

Basic Potion Making Book with Margin Notes, Fully Readable Replica

A fully readable potions textbook for beginners: more than twenty first recipes, the basics of cauldrons and scales, and handwritten-style margin notes in every copy.

How do you choose the right cauldron? How carefully must a beginner weigh and stir? And how do you tell one dried ingredient from another?

About Basic Potion Making: the first step of the potions course

Basic Potion Making is the first step of the potions course, written for students who have never brewed anything before. It teaches the tools and habits before the magic: choosing and caring for a cauldron, weighing ingredients on scales, stirring correctly and recognising ingredients by sight. More than twenty recipes for beginners follow, each simple enough to master before moving on to the advanced course. Like its big sister, Advanced Potion Making, every copy carries handwritten-style notes in the margins — the remarks of a student who clearly found the instructions a little too slow.

Fully readable Basic Potion Making book replica — not a blank prop

All 160 pages are printed with original illustrated content. No blank or lined journal pages: this is a book to read, not a notebook with a decorated cover.

Inside Basic Potion Making

• 20+ recipes for beginners
• Cauldrons, scales, stirring and recognising ingredients
• Handwritten-style margin notes in every copy

Basic potion making book for beginners and young potion makers

Read on its own, Basic Potion Making is a friendly introduction to the potions class; read together with Advanced Potion Making, it shows how a student's notes and confidence grow from the first year to the sixth. That is why we also offer the two potion books as a pair. It suits younger fans who are just starting the stories, cosplayers who need a believable first-year textbook, and anyone building a potions corner on their shelf.
