Contest:
Bright Potions

What oh what to do?

One of the team seems to have a rather unusual rash. : / We believe they are in need of a potion, but there is no one around to make it! Well, it seems that will have to be your challenge over the next couple of weeks. Create a potion (an actual potion, not a drawing or a clay replica), it can be something you eat, or a topical treatment. (If the potion is something you eat please make sure it is edible/not poisonous, same goes for the topical ones... make sure they won't hurt anyone.) These should be Brightvale themed. Ask for help from an adult if needed. Please tell us what what your potion is, how it should be used, and what you used to make it in the description. We will judge entries on creativity, usefulness and how awesome they are. :)

LAWYERBOT says: The following potions and elixers are only viable in Neopia. They may not be effective where you live and you should not create, eat, apply or otherwise digest any of these concoctions without adult supervision.

First Place

Ten winners receive the Random Contest avatar, 10,000 NP and an item of DOOM.


Leaded Light Vial Sunburn Treatment
by creamandcoffee
As it is summer in the Northern Hemisphere, I decided it would be fitting to make a topical treatment for sunburn! Like the neopets version, this Leaded Light Vial defends us from overexposure to light. This potion moisturizes and relieves sunburnt skin and helps repair damaged skin cells. Details of how to make and more are shown in the image. Hope you all enjoy it and it useful!


Flask of Liquid Fire
by fluffiehmedic
A lovely panacea is fire--so the ideal potion for me to create is one based on the Brightvale Potions' Flask of Liquid Fire!
Inside this painted flask (oil-jar-turned-flask) is a fiery potion with some fruit and sweetness to balance out the tongue-singeing flame. The culinary elements of fire such as ginger, cinnamon, peach, and marigold petals blend harmoniously in this (SPICY!!!) tea-like potion.
WARNING: Please do NOT throw this at anyone. It is not a battledome weapon but a drink.


Elixir of Intellect
by jazzehness
My mother (seeker_of_spirit) is an herbalist, and as soon as I saw this week's Random Contest I knew it would be perfect for both of us! We decided to come up with a recipe for the Elixir of Intellect. I used my artistic skills to decorate the bottle, and she used her knowledge on plants to help me come up with an elixir that's able to actually promote a healthier brain.
Our first step was to create a tea from peppermint and red clovers. We used a teabag filled with peppermint and some freshly picked red clover blossoms for this tea, using a tea strainer for the blossoms, and let it steep for twenty minutes. The longer you steep it, the stronger the tea becomes! Peppermint is well known for improving memory and focus. Just the aroma of peppermint can stimulate your mind, but drinking peppermint tea can do this too. Peppermint tea can also reduce stress and help settle stomach issues like poor digestion and nausea. Red clover is another plant that can help your body in a wide variety of ways, but for this elixir we're using it for its ability to promote calmness and a positive mood. After all, it would be hard to use your intelligence if you had an upset stomach or weren't in a good mood!
I tasted the tea after it had steeped, and it was indeed very strong! It had a nice taste to it and it left a minty and chilly aftertaste in my mouth, which was interesting (in a good way) compared to the temperature of the hot tea. However, since I like my tea sweet, I decided to add some of my mom's violet honey. Any kind of honey can be used to add a bit of flavor to and sweeten tea, but I love how violet honey tastes. (All you have to do to make it is fill a jar with violets, add plenty of honey into the jar with them, and let the jar sit for six weeks!) I didn't add it just for flavor, either. Violets are healthy plants and help your body in a number of ways! More specifically, the violet flower (which my mom used for the honey, as opposed to the root or the leaf of the violet plant) is great for all of your senses! Heightened senses are definitely good for the brain, allowing one to think clearly about their surroundings. Once I added the violet honey, the taste of the elixir improved greatly. None of the strength of the mixture was lost, there was still the minty aftertaste, and it was now sweeter and had a light floral taste to it. Delicious!
To finish the elixir off, I decided to add some optional ingredients: a little bit of blueberry juice and add a couple drops of lemon juice. This gave the elixir a fruitier taste, added to the sweetness without being TOO sweet, and made the flavor of the concoction less powerful. I would suggest this for anyone who isn't a fan of strong tea. Some alternatives my mom and I thought of were to let some berries (blueberries, raspberries, strawberries, etc.) steep with the tea in order to add the flavor and nutrients of the berries without completely diluding the mixture with juice. We chose blueberry juice because of the fruit's ability to improve brain function. Memory and motor skills can be improved with blueberries and other kinds of berries. We only added a couple drops of lemon juice -- not enough to help with the mind or body, but enough to improve the flavor a bit -- but the lemon is also a healthy fruit and can help with anxiety and fatigue when enough of it is involved. You could also add sugar to make it even sweeter, just in case the honey or any of the other things you add aren't sweet enough.
After drinking the elixir, I was pleased by how energized I felt and how clear I was thinking. Even if it doesn't make you magically and instantly smarter, this elixir is bound to lead you on the right path to learning more and soaking in plenty of information about the world around you!
IMPORTANT: While we created this elixir recipe based around edible ingredients that can improve brain function and stimulate the mind, please keep in mind that you should be very careful about what kind of herbs and plants you put in and on your body. Even the most innocent looking plant can be harmful to you, so do some research or ask an herbalist about what is best for you if you plan on diving deeper into the world of herbalism.

by squeak13
Balm of Brightvale is an aromatic concoction of soothing Aloe Vera and whole German Chamomile flowers. It is meant to be applied topically, directly to the rash site. Application can be repeated throughout the day until the rash subsides. The decorative potion bottle was created using a handmade polymer clay design, shaped around the bottle and baked in an oven. A tiny replica of King Hagan's crown, also made with poly clay, is glued to the cork. A golden wired ribbon is the finishing touch.


The Sisters
by whenthebeastsplay
Geneve and Edna are two sisters who live just outside of Brightvale. Geneve was beautiful, and fair, while Edna was knobby and old. They worked together to create concoctions that would help with medical issues, such as rashes. Geneve known for her lustrous kisses, named her sweet remedy "Geneve's Healing Kiss". Edna was not so fortunate. She was known for how horrible it was to even give her a hug! She named her's "Edna's Healing Embrace". Edna's potion was just boiled onions, lemon juice, sprinkles and ground garlic. Her magic drink is to be drunk before Geneve's in one dose. Geneve made her medicine, sweet and sugary, just like her kisses. She gently stirred cold milk, cinnamon, lots of sugar, cloves, and purple colored crystals. Her potion is to be drunk in small doses for it is WAY to sweet. Geneve's potion rids your skin of bumps, and Edna's drink rids your skin of the rash's color! Enjoy! Hope your rash goes away soon!

To make the container, I used a soda glass, Elmer's glue, Scotch tape, markers, green spray paint, cardboard, and a coffee filter.

Mangcage Skin Softening Potion

Apply to dry skin and let sit for 15 minutes, then rinse off with warm water and a washcloth, and you'll have the softest skin in Brightvale!
