We go to a table that seems to be at the first step of making a healing potion. A number of dried herbs are mixed and ground into powder by one assistant. Another potion maker empties some small pebbles into another mortar and start crushing and grinding them into powder as well. I am sure the ingredients should be secret, but Mr analyze tells me not only that the pebbles are low grade mana stones, but also the name of all the dried herbs. Most of which I recognize from my reading at the guild library.

    Several hours later I still haven''t learned the skill, but I got a good grasp of the magic used to make the potion. Guess I need to try doing it to learn. I walk up to one of the leading potion makers. "Do you mind if I have a go at doing your job?" "Sure why not, just mix the powders and stir until the color changes." He clearly thinks I don''t know he has been using magic.


    "You clearly have a talent for potion making." There is a slight stutter to his voice. Seems like I will be held up as someone with a talent if I keep quiet about the magic to all the commoners. "I am complete newbie, but I am a quick learner." All true, even got a unique skill too prove it. "I am sure there is plenty I can learn from someone as experienced as you." The flatter seems to soften the mood a bit.
