The Wizarding World

D

Dawdle Draught- A potion used by witches and wizards to help deal them with Traces in their struggle to address the Calamity.
•Valerian root
•Sophophorous bean
•Butterscotch
•Hermit crab shell

Death Cap Draught- Death Cap Draught is an extremely common ingredient used in the making of poisons. Half a cap of the Death Cap Mushroom is enough to kill an average human being. That alone should give some indication of the potency of this particular fungus. It is a common poison base because Death Caps have a deceptively pleasant flavour, which can hide the insidious nature of the drink.
•Water (32 fl. oz.)
•Death Cap Mushrooms (1 pound, rinsed and coarsely chopped)

Deflating Draught- This potion reduces magically induced swelling and inflammation, also acting as an antidote to the Swelling Solution. It is for external use only, and should not be ingested.
•Water (17 fl. oz.)
•Wood Sorrel (whole, a handful)
•Haliwinkle Shells (7, pulverized)
•Sagebrush (whole, a handful)
•Aloe (10 drops, fresh)
•Galangal (0.18 oz. powdered)

Delusting Potion- This potion causes the exact opposite effect of a love potion.
•Water (17 fl. oz.)
•Essence of Violet (5 drops)
•Essence of Rose Thorn (7 drops)
•Raven Feathers (2, whole)
•Skinkroot (20, sliced to translucent pieces)
•Rat Eyes (3, whole)

Developing Solution- A solution that will, when used to develop photographs, cause the picture to animate for a brief span of time on a perpetual loop. This potion can also be used on Muggle film to the same effect.
•Salt Water (10 fl. oz.)
•Moondew (10 fl. oz.)
•Sal Ammoniac (5 drops)
•Moonstone ( 1 oz.)
•Saltpeter (raspings, 1 tsp)

Dizziness Draught- While not harmful, this potion will cause the drinker to experience a light-headed sensation of dizziness and giddiness.
•Wine (18 fl. oz.)
•Honey (2 fl. oz.)
•Lovage (6 leaves, finely chopped)
•Alihotsy (4 leaves, finely chopped)
•Scurvy Grass (a small handful)

Dogbane Potion- It should only be made and administered by a trained healer as the plant is highly toxic when handled incorrectly or ingested. Although easily used as a deadly poison, the main purpose of this potion is to treat individuals suffering from mental imbalance and disturbance. It is made into a poultice and applied directly to the forehead of the patient for a prescribed period of time to aid in soothing the symptoms of psychosis.
•The essence of Lavender (6 fl. oz.)
•Dogbane Roots (12, sliced lengthwise)
•Moonstone (1, finely powdered)

Doxycide- This potion is a black, foul-smelling solution used to spray Doxies. It induces temporary paralysis, allowing for the safe removal of Doxies without fear of being bitten.
•Bundimun Ooze
•Streeler Shell (1 ground)
•Dragon Liver (chopped)
•Hemlock Essence (1 dash)
•Cowbane Essence (1 glug)
•Tormentil Tincture (1 dash)

Dragon Poison- Depending on the species from which it was extracted - can cause a gamut of horrific symptoms ranging from paralysis to writhing pain and caustic burns. If not treated in a timely fashion, the victim is likely to succumb to death. Even then, treatment is no guarantee of recovery. There are no practical or useful applications for this poison, and it is considered a dangerous black market item by the Ministry. As such, the creation, possession and peddling of this item will be treated as a crime.
•Dragon Venom
•Dark Glass Flask

Dragon Tonic- A cure-all tonic for ailing and lethargic dragons.
•Grain Alcohol (3 cups)
•Eagle Owl Feather (1, whole)
•Feathers of Peacock (3, from the tail)
•Giant Purple Toad Warts (3)

Draught of Living Death- This is an extremely powerful sleeping draught that sends the drinker into a death-like slumber, similar to suspended animation. It is a dangerous potion, and its effects can last indefinitely. Only execute with maximum care and precaution.
•Sopophorous Bean
•Water (250 fl. oz.)
•African Sea Salt (5 oz.)
•Essence of Wormwood (40 fl. oz.)
•Valerian Roots (3, chopped into square pieces)
•Asphodel Root Powder (150 fl. oz.)

Draught of Peace- A potion that relieves anxiety and agitation in the drinker. Despite its name, this is an incredibly complex and finicky potion to brew. Even the slightest misstep in the process will ruin the brew and have drastic consequences. Too much of any ingredient may cause the drinker to slip into an irreversible sleep, for instance.
•Powdered Moonstone
•Powdered Porcupine Quills
•Powdered Unicorn Horn
•Syrup of Hellebore

Dreamless Sleep Potion- Similar in nature to Sleeping Draught, the Dreamless Sleep Potion is arguably more powerful because it can prevent the drinker from dreaming while under its effect. This is especially useful in cases of exposure to extremely traumatic events, allowing the drinker some respite from troubling and painful thoughts as their body rests.
•Honey water
•Sopophorous Bean
•Moly
•Chamomile (fresh stalks and flowers, whole)
•Lavender (fresh stalks and flowers, whole)

Drink of Despair- The origins of this mysterious potion are unknown. Arguably one of the cruellest and sadistic dark potions ever created, it is emerald in colour and glows phosphorescently. It is known to induce excruciating pain, terror, delirium and extreme thirst in the unfortunate drinker. As such, the creation, possession and selling of this dangerous potion are strictly illegal.
•Moonseed Potion (1 flask)
•Hemlock (essence, 1 glug)
•Witch's Mummy Dust (1 oz.)
•Deadlyius (2 oz, dried and ground • Vitriol (6 drops)

Dr Ubbly's Oblivious Unction- Truly it has been said that scars afflicted upon the mind can be as dangerous (if not more so) than physical scarring. Dr Ubbly's Oblivious Unction is a well-known elixir that has been oft used to good effect in the treatment of mental scarring but should be administered under the supervision of an accredited healer.
