potions
Witch's liquid concoctions
Potions are liquids with magical, medicinal, or mysterious properties—brewed concoctions meant to produce specific effects when drunk.
The word belongs primarily to fantasy and folklore: love potions, healing potions, a witch stirring her potion.
In video games, potions restore health or grant abilities.
Outside fantasy contexts, potion sounds deliberately archaic or whimsical: What's in this potion you're brewing?
