Potions
From Charmed
A potion is a magical mixture of herbs or other ingredients that can produce a variety of effects, from vanquishing a specific demon to turning one thing into another.
The Charmed Ones' Book of Shadows contains a plethora of potions, nearly all of them written by Penny Halliwell who herself was known for her potion brewing. ("Happily Ever After") The warlock Bacarra once noted that there was a potion in the book for every demon he's ever heard of. ("A Witch In Time")
Potion ingredients can range from as common as table salt and dill, to feather of a spotted owl and pig's foot. ("The Witch Is Back," "Sleuthing with the Enemy")
