Makes three cups of liquid
- A handle of Hellhound Honey
- 4 Scorish spines
- Spring water
- 7 tablespoons of powdered, dried Wolfsbane flowers
- A powdered "raw" Moonstone and a whole "raw" Moonstone
- 3-7 drops of Drage blood (any Drage race besides Fae Drages); Drake Drage blood works the best
- 1 Tulip or Daffodile bulb (optional)
- Whale baleen
- Wooden spoon/mixing utensil made of wood from a Dogwood tree
- Light of a full moon
WARNING:: Do not add sugar, honey, or other sweetening agents to mask the taste; as such componets will render the effect of the potion void at the very least and leave the drinker with horrific health problems or physical mutations at the most extreme.

Grind the Scorish spines into a fine powder with a mortar and pestle then add the powdered, dried moonstone and Wolfsbane flowers and then mix the powders together for a minute using a spoon or other mixing utensil made from the wood of a Dogwood tree. Add three cups of spring water then mix with the same Dogwood utensil until everything has been incorperated. Then add a handle of Hellhound Honey and mix again until everything has been evenly distributed within the mixture. Let mixture sit for a minute at room temperature then add three to seven drops of non-Fae-Drage blood (depending on desired potency) and mix well. Let mixture sit for three to five minutes at room temperature.
Once the mixture has been allowed to sit, add spring water until mixture is very watery. Transfer mixture to storage flask(s) and use whale baleen to filter out any undissolved powder. Once bottled, put an appropriate sized chunk of raw moonstone into the finished product (for increased potency, slice or crush one tulip or daffodile bulb and put it in the storage flask as well). Seal with a cork and drip purple or blue wax over the cork.
Leave completed mixture under the light of the closest full moon for a whole night then store in a cool, dark, dry place for up to a year.

Common side effects include nausea, headache, fatigue, cramping, and fainting.
Storage: Bottle made of dark red or blue glass with a chunk of raw moonstone inside and sealed with a cork and purple or blue wax. Bottle must be re-sealed with cork and properly colored wax and re-placed in storage soon after each use.
Shelf life: Up to a year if stored properly.
Effect duration: PERMANENT; 12 hours if drunk by a Canine Helvite in microdoses
