-
a love potion. Surely, using this magic on herself would improve her life and marriage drastically.
-
a potion of disguise. The man had said it would last for only about a day, and he couldn't be sure what it would make her look like, but she leaped at the chance to be someone else for a day.
-
a potion of invulnerability. She worried about Borovius, and wanted to ensure he would be safe.
-
a potion of muteness. She had grown tired of Borovius's songs, and every time he opened his mouth she was jealous.
-
a potion of beauty. She was already stunning to look at, but she wanted more--surely, with a bit of magical enhancement, she would be the most beautiful woman on earth.
-
a potion of forgetfulness. Her old life was just making things harder, and she wanted to leave it all behind.
-
a potion of animal friendship. Perhaps her loneliness could be resolved by acquiring an animal companion or two.
-
a potion of youth. She worried about her appearance daily, and she would be thirty in a few short years. She was glad to have the chance to delay wrinkles for a little longer.
-
a potion of strength. Maybe it would give her the boost she needed to be able to join the party on their adventures.
-
a potion of intelligence. Maybe it would help her finally regain her literacy.
