With the discernment of that pharmaceutics Master, William's guess was confirmed. These potion formulas were indeed from the Dark Age, and differed from any known formulas from the Pharmacist Guild.
William couldn't contain his excitement upon obtaining this knowledge. He felt like he had picked up a gem, which hadn't happened to him for a long time.

"The formulas are probably authentic, but they involve a few concoction techniques that were lost in time. Even I can't make the potions successfully by following these formulas," the pharmaceutics Master told him candidly.
