Got a proposition for those here who've taken up brewing potions.

I've got a collection of ingredients, fresh gathered from the wooded areas, and can continue to find them with little effort. Willing to trade for whatever you're able to give in turn, negotiation in person only. Can give in a steady enough supply if offer is worthwhile.

Serious inquiries only, save us all some time.

[The writing is plain and simple, mostly because he almost didn't even bother after thinking over writing anything at all.

Which, in all honesty, means he is likely to ignore those not answering in interest of the offerunless familiar. This might not be some internet forum, but hell if it isn't the same idea in the form of magical journals as far as he's concerned.]

No.

Doesn't always translate well, unless the type of doctor determined to learn how to help people to the point of taking up something most would call bullshit on. Take it she's the type, however.

[twilightskey]

She told me that certain plants have medicinal properties, and that her Essence lets her know how to make potions, so I'm pretty sure she's using both. She's really smart, after all.

Besides, she helped me get better when I had the flu for the first time.

[steadypulse]

They do, most in the medical field use that knowledge sparingly or call it outdated. Handy.

[twilightskey]

Why would they consider it outdated?

u kno the sickness

[steadypulse]

Believing more in the advancements made over the years than anything else. Feel some older things barbaric even if it does wok, so not even considered.

Please rest u butt ;;

[twilightskey]

That sounds really stupid.

I mean, a potion's a potion. Everyone knows that. Why call it barbaric if it works?

I aaaaaaaaaaaammmmmmmmm

[steadypulse]

Even smart people can be stupid.

Because it's called a potion, and the word potion is dumped with superstition and things no one believes in anymore, or called old wives' tales.

GOOD

[twilightskey]

How do people not believe in potions?

I thought all the worlds use potions. I've seen tone of worlds use them.

[steadypulse]

Potions are just from things like video games where I'm from.

[twilightskey]

Video games?

You mean your world doesn't make potions at all?

[steadypulse]

Video games. Tech made for entertainment that tell stories.

[Crap like that.]

We have medications; pills, syrups, shots. None of it is called potions. The closest thing we have is nanotech that enhances healing, and that's all science and tiny robots.

[twilightskey]

Oh. Like, computers, right?

[He knows about computers. Even trashed one.]

Huh... but they heal injuries and ailments? That's what we use potions and Cure spells for.

[steadypulse]

Right.

They do. Potions and spells are just make-believe far as anyone's concerned.

[For the most part anyway.]

[twilightskey]

That's so weird. I thought all worlds have magic in them.

[steadypulse]

People don't believe in magic after a certain age. World kicking them down too much.

[twilightskey]

Even if it powers everything in their world?

I mean. With all the worlds I've seen, it's hard to imagine one that doesn't have ANY magic.

[steadypulse]

It doesn't.

[twilightskey]

Maybe you haven't seen it yet?

[steadypulse]

Seen everything there is to see, from the world nearly going to hell and back.

[twilightskey]

Really?

It sounds like your world has a lot of problems.

[steadypulse]

War does that.

More than half the people living there think or know of.

[twilightskey]

That sounds awful.

If people think that, why not do something about it?

[steadypulse]

I am.

Side tracked here for the moment.
