I've been sick for a bit and needed to find a potion that can help with coughing, wheezing, fever and general illness symptoms. It has been found. Let's look to science for a bit of an explanation before we venture deep into the realm of the metaphysi...methaph...metapiz...booze. Antibiotics are a way of reducing the overall bacteria count in your body. This can usually wipe out most viral sicknesses. Unfortunately, it's a bit like swatting a fly with a bazooka and it wipes out all the good bacteria in your body as well thus leaving you open to attack or relapse from any number of other forms of illness. Hooray for science.
In a similar vein, "Weakness" is a potion that has for centuries been used to banish evil spirits from the body. I think earlier versions of this potion used yak spittle but we've modernized and opted for Jagermeister as a more reasonable replacement to that. It's also very difficult to find yak spittle in your average liquor store and that's where I tend to buy most of my potion ingredients...ahem...anyway...Evil spirits often being the cause of illness (at least it was a couple centuries ago) this banishment of spirit from the patient would also banish illness (that's our logic behind this). We recently rediscovered the recipe to this powerful magical potion on page 23 of the August 1970's Readers Digest...right next to a nifty recipe for livening up that old pot roast...Go figure. Those folks at Readers Digest really have written about just near everything.
One merely takes the four shots worth of the above listed ingredients and pours them into a rocks tumbler glass. Chill if you prefer your drinks on the cool side. I'd actually recommend that bit if you're still running the 103 degree fever. There is no spoken bit to this potion. You don't want to get started in a conversation with the spirits you're about to banish so it's best just not to talk at all. Start talking to them and then it's work work work...trust me. Down the potion...perhaps silently think a small prayer to yourself and hope for the best. There see? That was easy. Oh wait...the side effects...can't forget the side effects.
Side Effects - Ok so banishing a host of evil spirits from your body isn't always that easy. Like antibiotics, this is sort of a shotgun method of spiritual cure. Powerful mojo and what not, this potion can have a tendency to banish your OWN spirit from your OWN body. That's what we in the business like to call "Death". So there's that to try and avoid. Also, as is frequent in magic potions of this caliber, it can be accompanied by some rather serious vomiting but hey...In this case, I like to think of it as just providing a quicker exit for those evil spirits you're banishing. If you can vomit those spirits right out, then you've saved yourself the trouble of the blinding white hot poker to the brain feeling as you struggle to keep hold of your own soul while crushing your humanity with this magic. Did I mention that bit?...well no worries, you'll see what I mean.
