(warning in advance, this is my worst subject, so there's going to be more notes because i need more understanding for the topic!)
dress code:
- sufficient covering
- closed–toed shoes
- no overly bulky garments
- no long–hanging jewelry
- pinned back hair (if long enough)
- wear dragon–hide gloves
- always wear goggles while brewing
safety:
- wait until instructions are done before touching anything.
- no pranking or goofing off (this behavior won't be tolerated)
- don't panic if something spilled
- don't emideantaly run over to a classmate if they got hurt for your own safety
- notify professor of injures
- be careful with wands (no horsing around or point your wand directly at someone's face)
potion: a magical mixture that combines both magical and mundane ingredients
- modern potions are brewed over a fire or other heat in a cauldron
- 'potion' is a generic term; representing any magical combination of ingredients that was brewed for a certain outcome
- some only take 20 minutes to brew, others well over 24 hours
only a witch or wizard should ever ingest or apply a potion
- doesn't matter what the circumstances are
- muggles being exposed has been known to cause unusual and often deadly reactions
muggles use ingredients to make their own "potions" in the past
- the term 'snake oil salesman' still applies to muggles who sell goods with false information about the effects
muggles and potions (cause and effect):
- in the past, it was recorded that muggles had less severe reactions to potions
- muggles being separated from magic resulted in their tolerance to drop
- another example of this would be human consumption of lactose or the predominant sugar in raw milk
- example shows how the same process works in reverse, allowing a species to become more tolerate of a substance with exposure (over time)
- in contrast, prolonged lack of exposure to magic has made muggles less able to handle the effects of potions.
