Assignment: Write 2-3 paragraphs (5 sentences in each paragraph) about the Wit-Sharpening Potion. Try to give me details about the cause and effect and the ingredients.
Answer:
The Wit Sharpening Potion is a typical, moderate level potion to brew. The brewer begins by, of course, putting the cauldron on the fire, and adding the three simple ingrediants. These ingrediants are ground scarab beetles, cut ginger roots, and armadillo bile. the armadillo bile should be placed last in order to create the desirable effect of the potion. This potion is not very difficult to brew, although the ingredients should be kept neat and stirred in effectively to have the correct effect for the drinker.
The effects of the Wit Sharpening potion vary from drinker to drinker, although they are typical for most drinkers. By drinking this potion, you are able to think more clearly, thus enhancing your wit. Whether this makes you think just more clearly, or at a higher level, it is not completely known.

The Wit-sharpening potion is very useful for situations that require concentration.It is used to make the drinker think more clearly. This potion would be very useful during test except no teachers will allow it. Many teachers believe that it GIVES studentst the answers but it just keeps them from being distracted. It is also forbidden in sports because it is too close to the Felix Felics potion.
It is a medium level potion so it is somewhat hard to brew. If it is brewed wrong there are consequences. When the misbrewed potion is drank by a person they are extremely unlucky for 48 hours or more. If the potion is drank to much the bearer tends to act like a know-it-all. Then if they do not drink any more they will throw-up and return to normal.

The wit-sharpening potion is one of the only potions invented by a student while still in school, the Wit-Sharpening Potion will allow the drinker to think more clearly. The first ingredient is Ground Scarab Beetles. The beetles allow to the potion to settle, and it gives the potion a nice, orange/brown color. Next, is Cut Up Ginger Root. Once thought that it was only added for taste, recent analysis of the ingredient suggests that the ginger root enhances mental power and agility. Finally, Armadillo Bile is added. This ingredient mainly used for psychic protection. In fact, this is usually used by those who wish for their minds to be protected from external penetration (ie, a Legilimens). The bile creates a sort of "armor" that surrounds your brain for the duration of the potion, protecting your mind quite well from anyone wishing to read it.
First off, you do not need to pre-heat your cauldron. This is a no-heat potion. So now that, that is out of the way, we will begin the procedure. First ingredient to be added to the cauldron is the armadillo bile. You will need 3 and ½ cups of that. Next ingredient that needs to be added is the cut up ginger root. After adding the ginger root, stir twice counter-clockwise before adding the ground scarab beetles. Once the beetles are added, proceed to stir for 2 minutes straight in any direction. This helps to unify the ingredients. Once you have stirred for 2 minutes, you may drink as needed.

Assignment: Wit-Sharpening Potion.
Answer:
The Wit Sharpening Potion is class as a moderate level potion and is considered easy to brew; it is often taught in wizarding schools. The potion involves using three main ingredients; ginger roots (cut), scarab beetles (ground) and armadillo bile.
The effects of the potion vary, and depend greatly on the brewer and the drinker. Though most act in similar ways. The potion is said to make you think more clearly and/or think at a higher level. Though which has never been truly discovered.
The potion brewer first has to set the cauldron on the fire at a simmering heat, then add the ingredients in any order as long as the armadillo bile is the last to be added. This is all the potion takes to be brewed; it is advised that the potion should be stirred effectively to give a positive effect when taken.

The Wit-Sharpening Potion is a potion which allows the drinker to think more clearly(or it's supposed to). Its ingredients are ground scarab beetles, cut ginger roots, and armadillo bile. It is taught to students in their fourth year.
The level of effect of the potion vary with the drinker and how it has been brewed.
To make the potion you must:
1) crush scarab beetles into powder,
2) thinly slice some ginger roots
3) put beetles and ginger roots into a cauldron with armadillo blue
4) simmer for approximately half an hour
Of course, questions have been raises about whether this potion actually works and I would personally believe that it does not. However, it is still a banned substance in organised tests such as OWLs and NEWTs. If you are found to have used this you will be disqualified from examinations.
