Dormeia's amoraroma

Dormeia's amoraroma is a strong aphrodesiac potion invented by Dormeia of Martiris in 1350.

The potion was invented for a potions class Dormeia took as part of her studies. Her assignment was to create her interpretation of "bottled love in the air" and she came up with amoraroma.

The duration of the effect can be regulated by the amount of managrass essence used. More than 7 ʒ of managrass essence seems to spoil the potion.

Recipe
The recipe requires the following ingredients:


 * 3 ƒʒ rosebud extract
 * 5-7 ʒ Managrass essence
 * 1 ℥ cocoa bean powder
 * 5 ƒ℥ aqua vitae
 * 4 ʒ ginseng root
 * 1 ƒʒ water

The recipe requires the following steps:


 * Put the cocoa bean powder, water and managrass essence together in a mortar and grind them together until you have a smooth paste.
 * Mix the rosebud extract together with the aqua vitae in another beaker.
 * Set up a bottle with a funnel, lined with a sheet of paper.
 * Start boiling the rosebud extract mixture with a glass bowl on top, to keep the aqua vitae from vaporising.
 * While boiling the mixture, layer the bottom of the funnel with the paste
 * Cut the ginseng root in small pieces and put them on top of the paste in the funnel.
 * When the mixture is boiling, pour it gently into the funnel.
 * When the funnel stops dripping, put the fluid into a vial.

Trivia
Dormeia, according to her, got an A+ for her assignment. Allegedly when the teacher sampled it, she looked over at one of Dormeia's friends and proceeded to express her induced love. Once the effect wore off, she gave Dormeia this high grade out of embarassment. Dormeia suspects her friend to have become a lesbian after this encounter with her teacher, though she herself denies this.
