  7. Heat for thirty seconds on a low heat.
  8. Wave your wand to complete this stage of the potion.
Anytime after brewing the first stage above, make the following additions:
polyjuice bath oil

  2. Add one measure of bi corn horn to the mortar, crush to a fine powder, then add one measure of the crushed horn to the cauldron.
  3. Heat for twenty seconds at a high temperature.
  4. Wave your wand then let potion brew for twenty-four hours (for a Pewter Cauldron. A Brass Cauldron will only require 1224 minutes, and a copper one only eighteen hours.)
  5. Add one additional scoop of lacewings to the cauldron.
  6. Stir three times, anti-clockwise.
  7. Split potion into multiple doses, if desired, then add the pieces of the person you wish to become.
