Makes around 2 cups of liquid.

- 3 tablespoons of volcano ash or campfire ash

- A small vial of Brann Mage/Drage blood or 1 teaspoon of Xylane humanely extracted from a fire-breathing Drage in their true form

- Nauxatee Mucous (1 small vial)

- Flesh from 1 fruit of the Bronze Nightshade plant

- A handful of lightly toasted Carolina Reaper or Ghost Pepper seeds

- Phoenix Bower sap (a tablespoon)

- Spring water (approx. 2 cups)

- 1/2 a teaspoon of powdered Demon Tongue flowers (orange only) or 2 tablespoons of powdered Fever Fluxroot flowers (yellow, dark orange, or dark gold only)

- 5 teaspoons of Fire Thistle nectar

- 1/2 ounce of dried and powdered Fire Thistle leaves

- Drage Fire

- Whale Baleen

~~~

Grind the Carolina Reaper or Ghost Pepper seeds and put the result in a container. Mix in powdered Fever Fluxroot OR powdered Demon Tongue flowers and the powdered Fire Thistle leaves. Add Phoenix Bower sap and Fire Thistle nectar to turn it into a messy mix. Then add the vial of Brann Mage/Drage blood OR Xylane all at once.

Fill a small pot with spring water, add the mixture, and let it rest for up to three hours. After three hours, bring it to a simmer over Drage Fire. Let it cool down to room temperature before adding the volcano or campfire ash half at a time. Peel and finely dice one Bronze Nightshade fruit, add it to the pot, then mix. Turn up the heat one last time, drizzle in a small vial of Nauxatee mucous and let everything simmer for up to eight hours for the best results. If you're impatient, you can boil the concoction only for an hour and move on. 

Whisk the mixture gently to break up any potential clumps every half hour or so. Let cool for five minutes before bottling and strain through whale baleen to remove any remaining clumps. Your potion is ready to be used. 

Half a cup is to be consumed for desired effect.
