NORMAL POV.
Princess Meadow had begun the process of creating a potion.
Alchemy generally has three rules that must be followed before the process begins.
The process generally means the series of changes the ingredients undergo before forming the final product, which, in this case, is a Healing Potion.
Firstly, the ingredients had to be specific to get the desired result and its conditions had to be in good shape to get any result. It would be impossible to brew a specific potion if its ingredients were damaged or inadequate in its numbers or amount.
Second was the fire. Different intensities lead to different results, but usually, the hotter the flames, the better the potion.
Thirdly was the alchemist or any form of practitioner of potion making.
The sort of technique they use can differ, and it can produce different results depending on how it is used and in what manner it is used.
