~Option One~
Wit-Sharpening Potion
​
Welcome to another year of Potions!
​
We’ll be starting off with the ever useful Wit-Sharpening Potion. Wit-Sharpening Potion is a potion that allows the user to think more clearly. It can help a person to focus for studying or working, or it can be an antidote for someone who has been affected by a Confundus Charm. Many a student has enjoyed the use of the Wit-Sharpening potion when exam times draw near! It is one of the more difficult potions to brew, only really possible for those who are nearing OWL level or have reached or passed OWL level in Potions. Which is why we are studying it this year! Sharper wits can be useful for more than just studies though. If caught in an emergency situation, a dose of Wit-Sharpening Potion can help someone find the best solution. A clear mind can also help in working toward any goal, such as a dream job or completing a project that you’ve been working on for ages, and as such it is always a good idea to keep a phial on hand for whenever you may need it. With that said, it is finally time to move on to your assignment for this lesson!
