potion making

Crafting magical drinks

Potion making is the practice of preparing magical or medicinal liquid mixtures, typically by combining herbs, animal parts, minerals, and other ingredients according to specific recipes or rituals.

The term appears most often in fantasy fiction and games, where characters brew potions for healing, transformation, or supernatural effects.

In historical contexts, potion making overlaps with herbalism, alchemy, and folk medicine.
