Chapter 2



  • A potion is a mixture of magical, mundane, and transitional ingredients

  • A compound is formed by two or more atoms and consists of the same molecule repeated

  • Water is an example of a compound, with the formula HO

  • A mixture combines two or more compounds together

  • A mixture can be heterogeneous (different parts visible) or homogeneous (parts not visible but can be separated)

  • A potion is a mixture of compounds, where the individual parts can still be separated

  • A solution is a type of mixture where a smaller amount of a substance (solute) spreads throughout a greater quantity of another substance (solvent)

  • Examples of solutions include salt water and the Earth's atmosphere

  • Phase transitions refer to changes between different states of matter

  • Solids, liquids, and gases are the three main phases of matter

  • Phase transitions occur when one phase changes to another due to a change in energy, typically heat

  • Steam rising from a potion indicates a gaseous phase transition

  • Heat and magic are catalysts for phase transitions in potions

  • The order of adding ingredients and the brewing process are important for reactions to occur

  • Understanding the fundamental theory of potions allows for manipulation, innovation, and new discoveries in magical technology
