		As the ingredients for this receipt are difficult to obtain at the same tyme, it is unlikely that more than one portion of this potion can be prepared in any one YEAR. Should you be fortunate enough to obtain the necessary for more than one portion then a second batch should be stored as though it were fine wine.
		
		It only takes fifteen minutes to prepare but it is most powerful in its effects. When consumed it offers total protection to all non-contact magick weapones and substantial protection from any other weapone for a considerable tyme. It should not be used lightly but saved untill needed.

		This receipt should provide enough for five portions and takes thirty minutes to prepare.

		Eating a slice of this pie will make the eater stronger but will slightly slow down the eater's reactions. This slowing is cumulative for each slice eaten before a previously consumed slice is fully digested. Only the foolhardy should try eating the whole pie in one sitting because of this side effect. Used with due care, consuming a slice of pie will give the eater a useful boost in strength when it is needed.


					GLOWING PRIDE.

Required elementes,	Thistle, Dandelyon and Flame Flower.

		Remove the petals from one Flame Flower and press them to remove the oil which they contain. Take one dandelyon and split its stem. Allow the milky liquid contained therein to drip into the previously extracted oil and mixe thoroughly. Pull the down from one Thistle and drop into the oil mixture so that the down soaks up the mixture. Roll the down into a balle. Thro' practice, tis possible to increase the oil yield from each flower.
		
		This should take fifteen minutes. Store the soaked down in darkness. As soon as a prepared balle of down is removed from complete darkness it will glow. The length of tyme that each balle will glow for is directly proportional to the user's experience. If the user is twice as experienced the second tyme that the magick is used then the light will last for twice as long. Useful in those unexpected dark places when there is no normal light available.

					POSTSCRIPTION..


BRAIN ACHE:	When tis spelle is caste upon an opponent, it reduces 				dexterity by a random amount for the duration of the 				fight. It maybe used only ONCE IN ANY SINGLE 					CONFRONTATION.

FEARFUL:		This awesome spelle does terrible damage to any 					STANDARD OPPONENT upon whom it is caste.

FINGER LIGHT:	This more potent light spelle casts FORK LIGHTNING at 				an opponent causing damage when it hits.

FIRE DAGGER:	This spelle appears and acts like a FLAMING THROWN 				DAGGER but doing three times the damage of a dagger 				unless the target is immune to fire. Used against a	 			mummy, there is a chance of it catching fire.

FIRE WALL:	Lasting for 10 SECONDS each tyme it is used, this 				spelle stops an opponent attacking and allows the 				caster to use a ranged weapone or run away. It also 				destroys any ICE-BASED weapone as well as severly 				damaging any wooden weapones but these effects also 				apply to the caster's weapones.

ICE WALL:		The ICE version of FIRE WALL, it lasts twice as long 				as, (20 seconds), but is almost instantly destroyed by 			FIRE-BASED weapones and only allows the caster to use 				ice spelles for its duration

IDENTIFY PLANT: This magickal ability is essential to allow 					identification of the many plant ingredients used in 				the magickal arts. It is gained by consuming HERBAL 				HONEY

KNIGHTTYME PLEASURE: This is the greatest defensive spelle in that it 			eliminates all effects from magickal ranged weapones 				and halves the effects of any other weapone.

LUCKY SURPRISE: This potion increases the imbibes	dexterity by one 				tenth for each swig but if more than one swig is taken 			before an earlier one wears off this is partially 				negated by becoming drowsy.

MAIDEN'S TURNOVERS: This increases magickal hardening of the eater's 				skin which effectively halves sword damage for a tyme.

MANTICORE FLIP: similar to MAIDEN'S TURNOVER but reduces sword damage 				to one tenth for a much longer tyme.

MIND LOCKE:	This spelle is similar to TANGLED MINDE but of even 				greater intensity.

PALM LIGHT:	A more powerful version of FINGER LIGHT that casts a 				BALLE LIGHTNING at an opponent for even greater damage.

PROPITIOUS SURPRISE: Similar effect to LUCKY SURPRISE but without the 			drowsiness disadvantage for multiple swigs.

RUNIC READING:	This is the ability to read and understand runic 					writing which is necessary to understanding and can be 			obtained by drinking ALPHABET SOUP.

SIZZLING EGGES: This gives an offensive spelle equivalent to hitting 				an opponent somewhat harder than the deadliest 					concussive weapone.

TANGLED MIND:	Similar to BRAIN ACHE but reduces dexterity by a 					greater amount.

THUNDERFLASH:	When cast at an opponent this spelle acts as a 					percussion weapone which inflicts extensive damage.
