[Mikleo is unaware of all Waver's existential angst, but they'd had a conversation about maybe being tested. Sorey was also unable to do magic when they'd first arrived despite all the studying and Mikleo along with him, so... it's something he's prepared to deal with. But he doesn't know Waver is having all this trouble with it, and he's not the type to pry unnecessarily.

He doesn't see Waver as weak. Waver's a keen mind, like his own, and a coworker here. A little friendly competition never hurt anyone, and he wants to push his own limits; he knows he needs to work on his alchemy.

His smile turns a bit sly. He thought Waver wouldn't turn him down, and he was right.]

They ordered four. Apparently it's going to be a longer trip outside the wall, and they wanted to be prepared.

So, what should we judge on? Effectiveness, stability, and um... appearance?

[ Now that's a good number to get some practices in and have a competition. Waver has no reason to argue now, does he?

He nods, smirking a bit in reply to Mikleo's smile.]

That sounds fair. To keep appearance from getting too subjective, though, let's break it down to consistency and color. Compared to the guidelines on the recipe, of course.

How are we going to test effectiveness? Someone would need to try it.

[It's on.]

I'll accept that. Consistency and color. We can't do much about presentation since it's not a meal, but we can at least grade those.

[He curls his hand beneath his chin.]

It only seems fair that we would try our own potions, correct? I can put out any accidental fires with a spell.

[ Waver looks a bit leery at that. He doesn't really want to breathe fire, and frankly thinks this type of potion is a bit ridiculous, and out of the scope of the usual alchemy he would be interested in dealing with. It all seems a bit... fantastical, rather than practical. But it's what the customers ordered.

...and maybe he's a little curious, on top of being skeptical. He purses his lips, considering, and finally shrugs. ]

Sure, fine.

[ ... ]

You don't think it matters if the user is a mage-- er, a Witch, I mean? Or not? The instructions here don't mention it.

[ He's still getting used to the sort of magic he can and can't interact with, as a... Monster. He hates that word. ]

[Sometimes people just really want to breathe fire!!! Not Mikleo, though, he's good. But it's for SCIENCE, so he's fine with testing it out. As long as it's temporary.

He arches an eyebrow at that, but shakes his head after.]

If it was something that was meant to augment one's natural spell strength, then maybe, but this essentially bestows a temporary enchantment. One of the best things about potions is that they're accessible to people who aren't gifted with magic. We can't depend on magic all the time.

[He starts grabbing ingredients out of cupboards.]

Now where's that drakeroot... [It's the middle shelf and he can just barely reach it if he stands on his tiptoes.]
