Concoction-making was no laughing matter.
It represented the mystical side of alchemy where even the slightest error in judgment could lead to disastrous consequences.
There had been accidents that stood the test of time, serving as warnings to all those who dared to embark on such dangerous acts.
One involved a story where, in a bid to create a love concoction, a woman had ended up turning her husband into an obsessed man who killed every man in their town just so that he would be the only one to set eyes upon what he termed as her ethereal beauty.
Another involved a man seeking to create the ultimate medicine to cure all illnesses, only to end up causing a biological catastrophe that required the Department of Defense to step in to resolve the matter.
It was for these reasons that Concoction making was not so widespread with very few within Ra'as performing it.
