After you uproot the Mandrake with ear muffs and dragon hide gloves just put it in the potion. Note you can't replant the Mandrake after this. -When repotting use medium to heavy soil. The concentration of water should be equal to 3/4ths of the plant's approximate weight. -In an emergency: If a person slips into a coma from contact with a mandrake, wash the spot of contact and immediately send for a trained healer to administer a tandisu injection. Info On Devil's Snare: -Native to Scottish highlands and lowlands -Grows in dark and damp areas -Be careful of Devil's Snare in caves and places like them -Features that can be used to recognize it are swaying plant tendrils (very uncanny while the air is still) and the vivid green despite lack of light -In case of an emergency use a spell that makes heat or light (Incendio, Lumos Maxima are some examples) because Devil's Snare hates those things. Teacher also says you can play dead -People use Devil's Snare to guard objects, assassinate enemies, and distract others
